Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)
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
display RDS information.
Notes
• RDS is operable only for FM stations.
• 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 direct tuning (page 78),
automatic tuning (page 77), or
preset tuning (page 80).
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
services, “RDS” lights up and the program
service name appears on 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.
While receiving an RDS station,
press DISPLAY repeatedly.
Each time you press the button, RDS
information on the display changes cyclically
as follows:
PS (Program Service name)

t PTY
(Program Type) indication
b)
