Using the Radio Data System (RDS)
to receive FM stations
Only the buttons on the remote control are used for RDS
operations.
RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with
their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their
station names, as well as information about what type of program
they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When an FM station which provides the RDS service is tuned in,
the RDS indicator lights up on the display.
