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.
This tuner offers convenient RDS features
such as station name. RDS is available
only on FM stations.*

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you
are 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 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 display.

To check the RDS information
