Using the Radio Data

System (RDS)

(For European model only)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 display and location of stations by program type. RDS is available only on 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 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

Simply select a station from the FM band.

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

To check the RDS informationEach time you press DISPLAY, the display changes cyclically as follows:Station name* t Frequency t Program type* t Clock display t Effect status

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