Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)
(European model only)
What is the Radio Data
System?
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows radio stations to send
additional information along with the regular
program signal.
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you have
tuned in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly
or if the signal is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they all provide the same types 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 display.
To check the RDS information
Each time you press DISPLAY, the display
changes as follows:
Station name* y Frequency
* If the RDS broadcast is not properly received, the
station name may not appear in the display.
Falling asleep to music
— Sleep Timer
You can set the system to turn off after a certain
amount of time, so that you can fall asleep to
music. You can set the timer in 10 minutes
increments.
SLEEP
, Press SLEEP repeatedly to select a
desired time.
Each time you press the button, the minute
display (the amount of time after which the
system turns off) changes as follows:
t AUTO t 90MIN t 80MIN
OFF T 10MIN...70MIN T
After a few seconds, the previous display
appears. “SLEEP” lights up in the display.
When you choose “AUTO,” the system turns
off after the CD finishes playback (up to 100
minutes). The system also turns off when
you manually stop playing the CD.
