RDS Functions
Overview of the RDS Function
RDS (Radio Data System) is a system which uses FM radio waves to receive digital signals. Receiving RDS data with your car stereo unit allows it to use a variety of services. There are several ways to use these services. For instance, you can receive information such as traffic announcements and station names, or you can cause the unit to automatically retune to the strongest signal that is broadcasting the same programme. So even if you travel a long distance, it is still possible to listen to the same programme without having to retune manually again and again. Another function allows it to receive traffic announcements during tape, CD or MD playback. RDS offers various functions, but depending on the country or region, not all of these are available. Following information explains the RDS functions of this unit.
Notes
∙In case of weak signals or other poor reception conditions, the RDS functions may not work properly.
∙If the FM station currently received does not transmit RDS data, the functions described below will not work.
Displaying the StationName
By using RDS data, the name of the station currently received can be displayed.
Select an FM station. nIf it is a station transmitting RDS data, the station name will appear on the display.
BBC R1

Changing the displayed items
Each time you press the DSPL button, the display on the displayed items change as follows:
z Frequency z Time z Station Name 
When “NO Name” is displayed instead of the station name, the currently received station does not transmit RDS data. After some seconds, “NO Name” will disappear, and the frequency will be displayed.
