Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)
(For European model only)
What is the Radio Data System?
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows radio stations to send
additional information along with the regular
program signal. This tuner offers convenient
RDS features, such as station name display and
location of stations by program type. RDS is
available only on FM stations*.
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are
tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly
or if the signal strength is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they
all provide the same types of services. If you are not
familiar with the RDS system, check with your local
radio stations for details on RDS services in your
area.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
services, the station name appears.
To check the RDS information
Each time you press DISPLAY, the display
changes cyclically as follows:
Station name* tFrequency tProgram
type* tClock display tEffect status
* If the RDS broadcast is not received, the station
name and program type may not appear in the
