Notes

When you name an RDS station and tune in that station, the Program Service name appears instead of the name you entered. (You cannot change the Program Service name. The name you entered will be overwritten by the Program Service name.)

You cannot name DAB stations. The service component label appears when you tune in DAB stations.

Using the Radio Data System (RDS)

This tuner also allows you to use RDS (Radio Data System), which enables radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. You can display RDS information.

Notes

RDS is operable only for FM stations.

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

Receiving RDS broadcasts

Simply select a station on the FM band using direct tuning (page 19), automatic tuning (page 18), or preset tuning (page 22).

When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, “RDS” lights up and the program service name appears on the display.

Note

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