Using the Radio Data System (RDS) to receive FM stations
Only the buttons on the remote control are used for RDS operations.
When operating the receiver using the remote control, set the mode selector to “AUDIO/TV/VCR/STB.”
RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When an FM station which provides the RDS service is tuned in, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.
