What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed
within the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and
many European FM radio stations use it these days.
The CD receiver supports and displays the Program Ser-
vice Name (PS) and Radio Text (RT) types of RDS data.
The RDS indicator appears on the display when the CD
receiver is tuned to an FM station that supports RDS.
Notes:
• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data
may be displayed intermittently or not at all.
• The message "Waiting..." may appear while the RT
data is being received.
