What is RDS?
RDS stands for
Radio Data System
and is a method of
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed
within the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and
many European FM radio stations use it these days.
The CD/HDD receiver supports and displays the Pro-
gram Service Name (PS) and Radio Text (RT) types of
RDS data.
The RDS indicator appears on the display when the
CD/HDD receiver is tuned to an FM station that supports
RDS.
Notes:
• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data
may be displayed intermittently or not at all.
• The message “
Waiting…
” may appear while the RT
data is being received.
