Using the Radio Data System (RDS)

RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM
stations 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.
"PTYI" (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY
station is received.
You can control the RDS by using the buttons on the remote
control only.
