Receiving FM Stations with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send
an additional signal along with their regular program
signals. For example, the stations send their station
names, as well as information about what type of
program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned in to an FM station which provides the
RDS service, the  RDS indicator lights up on the
display.
With the unit, you can receive the following types of
RDS signals.
PS (Program Service): Shows commonly known station names.
PTY (Program Type): Shows types of broadcast programs.
RT (Radio Text): Shows text messages the station sends.
Enhanced Other Networks: Provides information about the types of the
programs sent by other RDS stations.
More about RDS
• Some FM stations do not provide RDS signals.
• RDS services vary among FM RDS stations. For details on
RDS services in your area, check with local radio stations.
• RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not
transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is
weak.

“A ” may represent accented  “A ’s”  like  “Á, Â, Ã,  À, Ä
and  Å.”
Searching for Programs by PTY Codes
(PTY Search)
One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a
particular kind of program by specifying the PTY
codes.
• For details on the PTY codes, see  “Additional
Information” on page 27.
To search for a program using the PTY codes
REMEMBER you must preset FM RDS stations to use

Playing Back Discs
This unit has been designed to play back the following
discs—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs
(CD-ReWritable) can be played only if they are

CD-RWs recorded in music CD format. However,
sometimes they may not play depending on their
characteristics or recording conditions.
• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their
instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play on this unit
because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain
on them, or if the player’ s lens is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is
because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for
regular discs.
General notes
