aerials, or connect a commercially available
external aerial.
• When an FM stereo program has static noise, press

will be no stereo effect, but the reception will
improve.

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. RDS is available only on FM
stations.*
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are
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 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 on the remote,
the display changes cyclically as follows:
Station name* t Frequency t Clock display
* If the RDS broadcast is not properly received, the
station name may not appear in the display.
