Receiving RDS 
Broadcasts

(European and Asia-Pacific models 
only)

This receiver allows you to use Radio Data 
System (RDS), which enables FM radio 
stations* to send additional information 
along with the regular programming 
signal. This receiver offers convenient RDS 
features, such as Program Service name 
display.

* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do 

they provide the same type of services. If you 
are not familiar with the RDS services in your 
area, check with your local radio stations for 
details.

Simply select a station on the FM 
band using Automatic Tuning 
(page 24) or Tuning with Preset 
Station (page 25).

When you tune to a station that provides 
RDS services, “RDS” lights up and the 
Program Service name appears on the 
display panel.

RDS may not work properly if the station you 
tuned to does not transmit the RDS signal or if the 
signal strength is weak.

While a Program Service name is displayed, you 
can check the frequency by pressing DISPLAY 
repeatedly (page 30).
