Using the Radio
Data System
(RDS)
Radio Data System (RDS) is a
broadcasting service that allows
radio stations to send additional
information along with the regular
programme signal. This player
offers convenient RDS features like
station name display, location of
stations by programme type, etc.
RDS is available only on FM
stations.
Notes
• Not all FM stations
provide RDS services,
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.
• RDS may not work
properly if the station
you tuned in is not
transmitting the RDS
signal properly or if the
signal strength is weak.
