RDS and RBDS
Broadcast Reception
The Rotel RT-02 is equipped with RDS (Radio
Data Systems) reception capabilities for Eu-
rope and RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data Ser-
vice) capabilities for the United States. These
broadcast systems provide additional function-
ality to FM radio reception by transmitting
encoded information along with the radio
signal. This signal is decoded by an RDS or
RBDS receiver and can provide a range of
informational features including:
1. a display of the station’s identifying name
(e.g. BBC1)
2. a display of the station’s program content
(e.g. ROCK or NEWS)
3. traffic information broadcasts
4. a scrolling text display for announcements
or information
In addition, RDS provides several advanced
search features including:
1. the ability to search for a station with the
desired program content (PTY)
2. the ability to search for traffic information
(TP)
3. the ability to automatically search stations
broadcasting special traffic announcements
(TA).
RDS broadcasting has been widely available
in many European markets for years. There
are a large number of RDS stations and most
users will be familiar with the features and
operation. In the USA, implementation of the
RBDS system is more recent. Fewer stations
are currently broadcasting RBDS signals and
the features may be less familiar to many users.
Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for more
information on RDS or RBDS broadcasting in
your market.
NOTE: The RDS and RBDS features are en-
tirely dependent on the broadcaster sending
properly encoded signals. Thus, they will only
be available in markets where RDS or RBDS
is currently implemented and where stations
are broadcasting these data signals. If there
are no RDS or RBDS stations, the RT-02 will
function as a standard radio receiver.
NOTE: RDS and RBDS services are only
available on FM broadcasts. The features and
buttons described below are only operational
in FM mode.
DISPLAY Button
Remote Only
There are five display options when the cur-
rently tuned station is broadcasting RDS in-
formation and the RDS indicator in the front
panel display is lit. Press the DISPLAY button
to step sequentially through the five available
display options:
1. Standard FREQUENCY display.
2. PROGRAM SERVICE name. This is typically
the station’s call letters, such as BBC1). If
the current station is not broadcasting an
RDS signal, the display will show a blink-
ing PS indication.
3. PROGRAM TYPE. This is a description of
the station’s content from a standardized
list of program types in each market (for
example: NEWS, CURRENT AFFAIRS,
INFO, SPORT, EDUCATION, DRAMA, CUL-
TURE, SCIENCE, VARIED, POP, ROCK,
EASY LISTENING, LIGHT CLASSICAL,
SERIOUS CLASSICAL, OTHER MUSIC,
WEATHER, FINANCE, CHILDREN, SOCIAL
AFFAIRS, RELIGION, PHONE IN, TRAVEL,
LEISURE, JAZZ, COUNTRY, NATIONAL
MUSIC, OLDIES, FOLK, and DOCUMEN-
TARY). If the current station is not broad-
casting an RDS signal, the display will show
a blinking PT indication.
4. CLOCK TIME. A time and date display
broadcast by the station. If the current sta-
tion is not broadcasting an RDS signal, the
display will show a blinking CT indication.
5. RADIO TEXT. Additional scrolling text
messages broadcast by the station. If the
current station is not broadcasting an RDS
signal, the display will show a blinking RT
indication.
