Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)

(European model only)

What is the Radio Data
System?

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 like station name and program
type* display. RDS is available only on FM
stations.**

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned
in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the
signal is weak.

* The types of programs include NEWS, AFFAIRS

(current news), INFO, SPORT, EDUCATE
(education programs), DRAMA, CULTURE,
SCIENCE, VARIED (interviews, games and
comedy), POP M, ROCK M, EASY M, LIGHT M,
CLASSICS, OTHER M, WEATHER, FINANCE,
CHILDREN, SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN,
TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ, COUNTRY (country
music), NATION M (nation’s popular music),
OLDIES, FOLK M, DOCUMENT (investigative
features), TEST (test signal for emergency
broadcast)ALARM (emergency broadcast) and
NONE (any programs not defined above).

** Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do

they provide the same types 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.

To check the RDS information

Each time you press DISPLAY, the display
changes cyclically as follows:

Station name* 

t

 Frequency 

t

 Program

type* 

t

 Clock display 

t

 Effect status

* If the RDS broadcast is not received, the station

name and program type may not appear in the
display.
