The Radio Data System is a transmission system for FM
stations used mainly in the U.K. and Europe. The Radio
Data System transmissions include various types of
information such as PS (Program Service), PTY (Program
Type), RT (Radio Text), and CT (Clock Time). Follow the
procedure below to receive FM stations by the Radio Data
System transmissions on the DVD receiver.
■ To switch frequency and Radio Data
System modes
While receiving an FM Radio Data System
station, press DISPLAY.
Each time you press the button, the mode changes as
follows:
About information type
The Radio Data System includes the following types of
information.
• PS (Program Service)
Displays the station name.
• PTY (Program Type)
Displays the program type (genre).
• RT (Radio Text)
Displays text information related to the Radio Data
System broadcast. (Shows an under bar for a non-
identifiable character.)
• CT (Clock Time)
Displays the current time. (Shows the message “CT
WAIT” when time data cannot be received properly.)
• The available Radio Data System information types vary
depending on the station.
• If the FM Radio Data System station’s signal transmission is
too weak, the DVD receiver may not be able to receive Radio
Data System information completely. In particular, RT (Radio
Text) information uses a lot of bandwidth, so it may not be
available even when other modes are selectable.
• The Radio Data System information may not transmit under
weak radio wave conditions. In this case, press
e on the remote
control to let the DVD receiver’s radio wave reception mode
automatically change to the monaural mode to increase the
signal quality.
