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. This tuner offers a
convenient RDS feature, locating a station by
program type (PTY). RDS is available only
on FM stations*.

Note

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 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
