Notes

When you tune in a DAB broadcast, do not turn up the volume on the receiver too loud. Since DAB broadcasts have a wide dynamic range, a loud sound may affect your ears or cause the receiver or speakers to be damaged.

When tuning in a DAB station, it may take a few seconds before you hear any sound.

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 also display RDS information.

Notes

RDS is operable only for FM stations.

Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they provide the same types 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 automatic tuning (page 25), direct tuning (page 26), or preset tuning (page 28).

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

Displaying RDS informationWhile receiving an RDS station, press DISPLAY repeatedly.

Each time you press the button, RDS information on the display changes cyclically as follows:
