Using RDS (Radio Data System)

RDS is a system that transmits useful information (in the form of digital data) for FM broadcasts along with the broadcast signal. Tuners and receivers designed for RDS reception can extract the information from the broadcast signal for use with various functions, such as automatic display of the station name.

Before using a function utilizing the RDS, be sure to perform the RDS Auto Memory operation by referring to the description in <RDS Auto Memory> U.

RDS functions:RDS AUTO MEMORY function

Automatically selects and stores up to 40 RDS stations in the preset memory.

If fewer than 40 RDS stations have been stored in the preset memory, regular FM stations will be stored in the remaining places.

PS (Program Service) Name Display

PTY (Program TYpe) identification Search

RT (Radio Text) function

Displays the radio text data transmitted by some RDS stations when you press [DISPLAY]. There is "No RT" or "RT

The "RDS" indicator lights up when an RDS broadcast (signal) is received.
