■What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).
The AV receiver supports four types of RDS information:

RT (Radio Text)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the AV receiver’s display as described in the next section.
