What is the Radio Data

System?

Radio Data System (RDS)* is a broadcasting service that allows radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal.

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you have tuned in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal is weak.

*Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they all provide the same types of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS system, check with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.

Receiving RDS broadcasts

When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, the station name appears in the display.

Each time you press DISPLAY on the remote, the display changes as follows:

Clock display (Frequency**)

*If the RDS broadcast is not properly received, the station name may not appear in the display.

**Pressing DISPLAY on the remote again causes the frequency to appear in the display.
