Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)
(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.
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you have
tuned in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly
or if the signal is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they all provide the same type 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 in the
display.
To check the RDS information
Each time you press DISPLAY on the remote,
the display changes as follows:
Station name* t Frequency t Clock display
t BASS t TREBLE t Station name* t
…
* If the RDS broadcast is not properly received, the
station name may not appear in the display.
