Using RDS (Radio Data System) (For Europe and Australia)
Before using a function utilizing the RDS, be sure to perform the RDS Auto Memory operation by referring to the description in "Presetting RDS stations (RDS AUTO MEMORY)".
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.
