How to Use This Manual
This manual describes three YAMAHA receivers, RX-385, RX-385 RDS and RX-485 RDS. There are some differences between
those three models. Especially, RX-385 RDS and RX-485 RDS contain the functions for receiving special data on RDS network
stations.
RX-385, on the other hand, is a receiver with a usual FM/AM tuning function.
Several places in the manual refer to differences in features between the three models. Be sure to follow the procedure for the
model you are using.
* RDS is a data transmitting service system in network which is employed by FM stations. RDS stations are increasing in many
countries (especially in Europe).

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure.
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal
strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience
poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.
Connecting the AM loop antenna
* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.
* The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
GND terminal
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the
GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is
a metal stake driven into moist earth.
Notes
When connecting the indoor
FM antenna, make sure that
the grooved part of the
connector hole is facing
downward.
If you need an outdoor
FM antenna to improve
FM reception quality, either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable
may be used. In locations troubled by electrical
interference, coaxial cable is preferable.

RECEIVING RDS STATIONS
RX-485 RDS
and
RX-385 RDS
only
RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced by FM stations in many countries. Stations
using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal.
RDS data contains various information, such as AF (Alternative Frequencies for the same program station), PI (Program
Identification), PS (Program Service station name), PTY (Program Type name), etc.
RDS function is carried out among the network stations.
* This unit utilizes AF, PI, PS and PTY to receive RDS broadcast stations.
Displaying RDS data
This unit can be turned into the following two modes to display RDS data.
PS (Program Service station name) mode:
Displays the name of the RDS station now being received instead of the frequency.
PTY (Program Type name) mode:
Displays the program type of the RDS station now being received. There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations as follows.
