Continued
■ Using the TUN-3.7:
HD Radio stations transmit both analog and digital ver-
sions of their programs and you can choose which one
you want to listen to.
Note:
• Multicast channels 2 through 8 only carry a digital
signal, so to select an audio format, you must select
multicast channel #1 first.
Press the [Display] button repeatedly to cycle through
the available information.
Using RDS
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of
transmitting data in FM radio signals. RDS is approved
by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and
is available in North America.
Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to dis-
playing text information, RDS can also help you find
radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).
This product supports the following types of RDS infor-
mation: Program Service Name (PS), Radio Text (RT),
and Program Type (PTY).
The RDS indicator lights up when tuned to an FM radio
station that supports RDS.
Press the [Display] button repeatedly to cycle through
the available information.
1. Program Service Name
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting
PS information, the station’s name will be dis-
played.
2. Radio Text
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting
RT text information, the text will be shown on the
display.
3. Program Type
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting
PTY information, the type of program will be dis-
played.
Note:
If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data
may be displayed intermittently or not at all.
