RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing
number of FM stations provide. These FM stations
send additional signals along with their regular
programme signals. They send their station names,
and information about the type of programme such as
sport, music, etc.
When tuned to an RDS station, “RDS” and the station
name will be displayed.
“TP” (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when
the received broadcast carries traffic information, and “TA”
(Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic
information is on air.
“PTYI” (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the
Dynamic PTY station is received.
You can control the RDS by using the buttons on the
remote control only.
Each time the RDS DISP button is pressed, the display
will switch as follows:

repeat the operation from step 2.
5Repeat steps 1 - 4 to set other stations, or to change a
preset station. When a new station is stored in the
memory, the station previously memorised for that
preset channel number will be erased.
