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 type 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 cyclically as follows:

Station name** t Frequency t Clock
display t Volume

** If the RDS broadcast is not properly received, the

station name may not appear.
