This receiver allows you to use Radio Data
System (RDS), which enables radio stations to
send additional information along with the
regular program signal. This receiver offers
convenient RDS features, such as program
service name display.
Notes
• RDS is operable 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 services in your area,
check with your local radio stations for details.

Receiving RDS broadcasts

Simply select a station on the FM
band using Direct Tuning (page 46),
Automatic Tuning (page 46), or
Preset Tuning (page 48).
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
services, "RDS" lights up and the program
service name appears on the display.
Note
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.
Tip
When a program service name is displayed, you can
check the frequency by pressing DISPLAY
repeatedly (page 43).
