ONKYO T-433 ユーザーズマニュアル

RDS stands for 

 

and is a method of 

transmitting data in FM radio signals. Many FM sta-
tions use it these days.

The T-433 supports the following types of RDS data:

 

■

 

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS 
information, the station’s name appears on the display.

 

■

 

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting RT 
text information, the text scrolls across the display.

 

If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data 
maybe displayed intermittently or not at all.

 

You must be tuned to an FM station that supports RT 
(Radio Text) in order to display any text.

 

• If the current station does not support RDS, only the 

frequency, preset name (see page 18), and clock will 
be displayed. If the current preset has no name, only 
the frequency and clock will be displayed.

• In some cases, it may take between 2 and 15 seconds 

for the RT text to be displayed.

• The message “Waiting” may appear while the RT 

data is being received.

• When tuned to an RDS station that’s not transmitting 

any RT data, the message “No Text” will be dis-
played.
