About "Using the Radio Data System (RDS)":
The RDS function does not work in Australia and New Zealand.
RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM sta-
tions provide. These FM stations send additional signals along with
their regular programme signals. They send their station names, and
information about the type of programme such as sport, music, etc.
When tuned to an RDS station, "RDS" and the station name will be displayed.
"TP" (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the
received broadcast carries traffic information, and "TA" (Traffic
Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic information is on air.
You can control the RDS by using the remote control only.
