RDS reception is available only on the European mod-

What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a type of FM
broadcasting. RDS was developed within the European
Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most
European countries.
Many FM stations now transmit RDS signals which con-
tain additional information. RDS provides you with var-
ious services so that you can choose a station
broadcasting your favorite categories of music or other
information. The information of Program Service Name
and Radio Text is available for display on the CD
receiver.
The RDS indicator lights up when an RDS station is
received.

Notes:
• If radio signals are weak, RDS may not be received.
• When tuning a station, the display “Waiting...” scrolls.
