Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)

(European model only)

What is the Radio Data
System?
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 like station name and program
type* display. RDS is available only on FM
stations.**
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned
in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the
signal is weak.
* The types of programs include NEWS, AFFAIRS
(current news), INFO, SPORT, EDUCATE
(education programs), DRAMA, CULTURE,
SCIENCE, VARIED (interviews, games and
comedy), POP M, ROCK M, EASY M, LIGHT M,
CLASSICS, OTHER M, WEATHER, FINANCE,
CHILDREN, SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN,
TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ, COUNTRY (country
music), NATION M (nation's popular music),
OLDIES, FOLK M, DOCUMENT (investigative
features), TEST (test signal for emergency
broadcast), ALARM! (emergency broadcast) and
NONE (any programs not defined above).
** Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they provide the same types 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.
