RDS Operation

This unit is equipped with RDS (Radio Data System),
which brings a wide range of information to FM radio.
Now in use in many countr ies, RDS is a system for
transmitting station call signs or network infor mation, a
description of station programme type text message
about the station or specifics of musical selection and
the correct time.

RDS T uning

When a FM station is tuned in and it contains RDS data,
the unit will automatically display the station’s name in
the Display Window as well as indicators for the RDS
ser vices programme (PS) if transmitted by the station.

RDS Display

The RDS system is capable of transmitting a wide vari-
ety of infor mation in addition to the initial call sign that
appears when a station is first tuned. In normal RDS
operation the display will indicate the station name.
Press and hold DISPLAY on the remote control enables
you to show the station name.
Note
If the RDS ser vices programme (PS) is not being
transmitted, the Display Window will show a PS
NONE message.
