The 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 convenient 
RDS features, such as station name display. 
RDS is available only for FM stations.*

• 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 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.

Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS 
services, the station name* appears in the 
TUNER information.

* If an RDS broadcast is not received, the station 

name may not appear in the display.
