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
programme signal. This tuner offers
convenient RDS features like station name
display and location of stations by
programme type. RDS is available only on
FM stations.*
Note
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.
* 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.
