Using RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS is a system that transmits useful information (in the form of
digital data) for FM broadcasts along with the broadcast signal.
Tuners and receivers designed for RDS reception can extract
the information from the broadcast signal for use with various
functions, such as automatic display of the station name.
Before using a function utilizing the RDS, be sure to
perform the RDS Auto Memory operation by referring to
the description in <RDS Auto Memory>.(
