What is the Radio Data
System?
The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows radio stations to send
additional information along with the regular
program signal. This tuner offers convenient
RDS features, such as station name display.
RDS is available only for FM stations.*
• 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
TUNER information.
* If an RDS broadcast is not received, the station
name may not appear in the display.
You can set the system to turn off at a preset
time, so you can fall asleep listening to music.
You can preset the time in 10 minutes
decrements.
