Using the Radio Data System (RDS)
What is the Radio Data System
The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows radio stations to send additional
information along with the regular programme signal.
This tuner offers convenient RDS features, such as
station name display. RDS is available only for FM
stations.*
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is
not transmitting the RDS signal properly, or if the signal
strength is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they 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 tuner
information.
* If an RDS broadcast is not received, the station name may not
appear in the display.
