Using the Radio Data System (RDS)

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.
