Yamaha RX-V2500 Manual Do Utilizador

RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system 
used by FM stations in many countries. The RDS function 
is carried out among the network stations.
This unit can receive various RDS data such as PS 
(Program Service name), PTY (Program Type), RT (Radio 
Text), CT (Clock Time), EON (Enhanced Other 
Networks) when receiving RDS broadcasting stations.

■

The name of the RDS station being received is displayed.

■

There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations.

■

Information about the program (such as the title of the 
song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station being 
received is displayed by a maximum of 64 alphanumeric 
characters, including the umlaut symbol. If other 
characters are used for RT data, they are displayed with 
under-bars.

■

The current time is displayed and updated every minute.
If the data flow is accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may 
appear.

■

Four modes are available in this unit for displaying RDS 
data. The PS, PTY, RT and/or CT indicators that 
correspond to the RDS data services offered by the station 
light up in the front panel display. Press RDS MODE/
FREQ (or FREQ/RDS on the remote control) repeatedly 
to display the various RDS data offered by the 
transmitting station as shown below.

y
When performing this operation with the remote control, first 
press TUNER to set the remote to tuner mode.

• Do not press RDS MODE/FREQ until an RDS indicator lights 

up in the front panel display. You cannot change the mode if 
you press the button prior to this. This is because this unit has 
not finished receiving all of the RDS data from the station.

• RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected.
• This unit cannot utilize the RDS data source if the signal 

received is not strong enough. In particular, the RT mode 
requires a large amount of data, so it is possible that the RT 
mode may not be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, 
etc.) are displayed.

• RDS data may not be received under poor reception conditions. 

In such cases, press TUNING MODE so that the AUTO 
indicator disappears from the front panel display. Although this 
will change the reception mode to manual, RDS data may be 
displayed when you change the display to RDS mode.

• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference 

during the reception of an RDS station, the RDS data service 
may be cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will appear on the front 
panel display.
