Using the Radio Data System (RDS)

What is the Radio DataSystem?

The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. This tuner offers convenient RDS features, such as station name display. RDS is available only for FM stations.*

Note

•RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly, or if the signal strength is weak.

*Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they provide the same type 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 broadcastsSimply select a station from the FM band.

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

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