conditions may cause a fire or shock
hazard.

WELCOME TO RDS!
Your new TU950 is equipped with RDS (Radio Data System), which brings a
wide range of information to FM radio listeners. Now in use in many
countries, RDS is a system for transmitting station call signs or network
identification, a description of the station’s programming, indication of
national, regional or local programmes and the correct time. Additional RDS
services include a list of alternate frequencies for a specific network or
programme and traffic information. 
The TU950 features a wide range of control systems that enable you to use
RDS information to search for favorite programme type or to automatically
tune to the best station carrying your selected network. A large, bright
fluorescent display brings all this information to you with high visibility.
As more FM stations become equipped with RDS capabilities, the TU950
will serve as an easy to use center for both information and entertainment.

1. POWER BUTTON
Press this button to turn the unit on.
Press it again to turn the unit off. Note
that the rings above and below the
button will glow green when the unit
is on.
2. DISPLAY BUTTON
Pressing this button will display
information about the current
frequency or station. Each press of
the button will cycle the display to the
next item in the sequence. The
information available will vary with the
band in use and the availability of
RDS information.
a) Display for FM stations when RDS
is turned on:
Note: Due to the nature of RDS
transmissions, the unit needs to be
tuned to a station for a short period
before the time display will appear.
This is normal and does not indicate a
fault with either the unit or broadcast
station.
b) Display for FM station when RDS
is turned off:
c) Display for MW or LW:
3. MEMORY BUTTON
This button is used to enter stations
into the preset memories. The
memory indicator blinks when the
button is pressed.
See page 9 for instructions on using
the memory system.
4. RDS BUTTON
Pressing this button once turns on
the RDS system for FM broadcasts
and is confirmed by illumination of
the RDS indicator on the display
panel. When the unit is in the RDS
mode and is tuned to a station
transmitting RDS data, the station’s
frequency will be shown briefly and
the display will then switch to the call
letters or other identifying information
contained in the RDS data signal.
When no signals are available with
RDS data, the display will indicate
“NO RDS”.
Pressing this button twice, or until the
RDS and TP indicators light up
activates the RDS Traffic Program.
When in this mode, the tuner will
display RDS data if it is transmitted,
as well as special traffic advisories
when available.
5. AF BUTTON
Pressing this button when the RDS
system is turned on and RDS data is
present will cause the tuner to
automatically scan up to six
alternative frequencies for the same
network or service tuned. It will then
select the frequency that offers the
best reception. If no list of alternate
frequencies are available, the tuner
will display a “NO AF” message. This
feature is particularly useful when
listening to national radio networks
where the same program is broadcast
on a number of transmitters.
6. PTY BUTTON
Press this button to select a particular
PTY (Programme Type) according to
the information transmitted by an RDS
station. After pressing PTY, turn the
Tuning Knob (#8) to select from one
of the following programme types:

Rap, etc.
ALARM
After selecting a programme choice,
press the PTY button again to begin
the search. The unit will scan all RDS
stations and tune to the station with
the strongest signal transmitting the
selected programme type. If no
station with the selected programme
type is available in your area, the
display will show NO PTY and return
to the previous station.
7. CHARACTER BUTTON
This button enables the system which
permits you to enter or modify the
name of any FM, LW or MW station
which is not broadcasting in RDS. 
To enter a name, press the
CHARACTER button once and
observe that a line will flash under the
first digit of the display.
Turn the tuning knob until the desired
letter, number or symbol appears.
Press the button again to advance to
the next digit. Repeat the procedure
for all places in the display, using the
tuning knob to select a character and
