Sony dav-dz210d User Manual

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.

When you tune in a station that provides RDS 
services, the station name* appears in the front 
panel display.

* If an RDS broadcast is not received, the station 

name may not appear in the front panel display.

Before you can receive DAB, you must register 
the contents of broadcasts (service components) 
so that they can be received by the DAB tuner 
using the DAB INITIAL SCAN procedure.

DAB INITIAL SCAN starts automatically when 
you select the “DAB” function for the first time 
after you purchase the system or after you cancel 
DAB INITIAL SCAN while scanning.
