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.

This tuner offers convenient RDS features

such as station name. RDS is available

only on FM stations.*

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you

are 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 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.

When you tune in a station that provides

RDS services, the station name appears in

the display.

To check the RDS information

While receiving an RDS station,

press DISPLAY repeatedly.

RDS information appears on the display.
