Receiving FM Stations with RDS
(Using the Remote Control)
You can use the RDS (Radio Data System) by using the Re- mote Control.
RDS allows FM stations to send additional signals with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, and information about what type of programmes they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. This unit can receive the following types of RDS signals:
PS (Programme Service):
shows commonly known station names.
PTY (Programme Type):
shows types of broadcast programmes.
RT (Radio Text):
shows text messages the station sends.
What information can RDS signals provide?
The display shows RDS signal information that the station sends.
To show the RDS signals on the display

Each time you press the button, the display changes to show information in the following order:
