RDS OPERATION

Now in use in many countries, RDS (Radio Data System) is a description of the station ’ s programming hidden space in the FM signal.

Your new receiver is equipped with RDS to assist in the selection of FM stations using station and n e t w o r k n a m e s , r a t h e r t h a n b r o a d c a s t frequencies. Additional RDS functions include the ability to search for programme types.

RADIO TEXT

Some RDS stations broadcast RADIO TEXT, which is additional information on the station and programme being broadcast.

RADIO TEXT information appears as ‘running’ text in the display. RADIO TEXT is transmitted character by the radio station. As a result of that it may take some time until the entire text has been completely received.

RDS DISPLAY

When a receiver is tuned to an FM station that is transmitting RDS data, the Front Panel Information Display will automatically show the station name or RADIO TEXT in place of the typical display of the station’s broadcast frequency.

To change the display, press the RDS button on the remote.
