Radio data system (RDS) feature
This feature allows your audio
system to receive station
identification or program type from
RDS-equipped FM radio stations.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio
and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) recommend FM radio
broadcasters to use RDS technology to transmit information. FM radio
stations are independently operated and individually elect to use RDS
technology to transmit station ID and program type as desired.
Press the RDS control until RDS ON or RDS OFF appears in the display.
Use the SEL control to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) the feature. With
the RDS activated, press the SEL control to scroll through the following
selections:
Traffic
• Press the RDS control until
TRAFFIC is displayed.
• Use the SEL control to select ON
or OFF. With the feature on, use
the SEEK or SCAN control to
find a radio station broadcasting a
traffic report (if it is broadcasting
RDS data).
Traffic information is not available in most U.S. markets.
Program type
• Press the RDS control until the
FIND program type is displayed.
