What is RDS?
 
RDS stands for 
 
Radio Data System
 
 and is a method of 
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed 
within the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and 
many European FM radio stations use it these days.
The CD receiver supports and displays the Program Ser-
vice Name (PS) and Radio Text (RT) types of RDS data.
The RDS indicator appears on the display when the CD 
receiver is tuned to an FM station that supports RDS.
 
Notes:
 
• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data 
may be displayed intermittently or not at all.
• The message “Waiting...” may appear while the RT 
data is being received.
