What is the Radio Data
System?
The 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, such as station name display.
RDS is available only for FM stations.*
Notes
• RDS may not work properly if the station you are
tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly,
or if the signal strength is weak.
• For AM station, only the frequency (not the station
name) appears.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they provide the same type 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.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides
RDS services, the station name
*
appears in
the display.
* If an RDS broadcast is not received, the station
name may not appear in the display.
You can set the system to turn off at a preset
time, so you can fall asleep listening to music.
You can preset the time in 10-minute
decrements.
Press SLEEP.
Each time you press this button, the minutes
display (the remaining time) changes as follows:

remaining time if you select “AUTO.”
To change the remaining time
