Using The Radio Data System (Rds) - Sony PMC-DR45L Operating Instructions Manual

Using the Radio
Data System (RDS)
Radio Data System (RDS) is a
broadcasting service that allows radio
stations to send additional information
along with the regular programme
signal. This player offers convenient RDS
features like station name display,
location of stations by programme type,
etc. RDS is available only on FM stations.
Notes
• Not all FM stations
provide RDS services,
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.
• RDS may not work
properly if the station
you tuned in is not
transmitting the RDS
signal properly or if the
signal intensity is weak.
Before receiving RDS broadcasts
Be sure to preset the FM stations according to the
procedure on page 19.
