Using the Radio Data System (RDS)
This receiver 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 broadcastsSimply select a station on the FM band using direct tuning (page 78), automatic tuning (page 77), or preset tuning (page 80).
