Listening to radio broadcasts The receiver can store up to 40 stations in the memory and recall them by one-touch operation. Radio stations can be classified into RDS (Radio Data System) stations and other stations. To listen to or store RDS stations in the preset memory see "Using RDS (Radio Data System)".

(For the U.K. only) Using RDS (Radio Data System) RDS is a system that transmits useful information (in the form of digital data) for FM broadcasts along with the broadcast signal. Tuners and receivers designed for RDS reception can extract the information from the broadcast signal for use with various functions, such as automatic display of the station name. RDS functions: PTY (Program TYpe Identification) Search § Automatically tunes to a station that is currently broadcasting the specified program type (genre). PS (Program Service Name) Display Automatically displays the station name transmitted by the RDS station. RDS AUTO MEMORY function § Automatically selects and stores up to 40 RDS stations in the preset memory. If fewer than 40 RDS stations have been stored in the preset memory, regular FM stations will be stored in the remaining places. Radio Text function Displays the radio text data transmitted by some RDS stations when you press the RDS DISP (display) key. There is "NO RT" if no text data is transmitted. The "RDS" indicator lights up when an RDS broadcast (signal) is received. SP MUTE OPTICAL 6CH INPUT AUTO DETECT CINEMA EQ. DTS. DOLBY DIGITAL STEREO NEO:6 THX L ACTIVE EQ.

Before using a function utilizing the RDS, be sure to perform the RDS Auto Memory operation by referring to the description in "Presetting RDS stations (RDS AUTO MEMORY)". § Presetting radio stations manually The RDS auto memory function assigns preset numbers to RDS stations starting from preset number "1". Therefore, be sure to execute the RDS auto memory function before using the following operations to manually store AM stations and other FM stations, and RDS stations.
