This receiver also allows you to use RDS (Radio
Data System), which enables radio stations to
send additional information along with the
regular program signal. You can also display
RDS information.
Notes
• RDS is operable only for FM stations.
• Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they
provide the same types of services. If you are not
familiar with the RDS services in your area, check
with your local radio stations for details.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station on the FM band
using automatic tuning (page 23), direct
tuning (page 23), or preset tuning
(page 25).
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
services, the RDS indicator lights up and the
program service name appears in the display.
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned to
is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the
signal strength is weak.

DISPLAY repeatedly.
Each time you press the button, RDS
