Receiving RDS broadcasts

(European model only)
The Radio Data System (RDS) is a
broadcasting service that allows radio stations
to send additional information along with the
regular program signal. This tuner offers
convenient RDS features, such as station name
display. RDS is available only for FM
stations.*
* 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.
Simply select a station from the FM
band.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
services, the station name* appears on the TV
screen and in the front panel display.
* If an RDS broadcast is not received, a station name
will not appear in the display window.
Notes
• 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.
• Some letters that can be displayed on the TV screen
cannot be displayed in the front panel display.
Tip
When a station name is displayed, you can check the
frequency by pressing DISPLAY repeatedly.
