Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)
(Models of area code CEL, CEK only)
This receiver also allows you to use RDS
(Radio Data System), which enables radio
stations to send additional information along
with the regular program signal.  You can use
the following convenient RDS features:
– Displaying RDS information
– Scanning preset stations by program type
Note that RDS is operable only for FM
stations.*
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they provide the same types of services.  If you are
not familiar with the RDS services in your area,
check with your local radio stations for details.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station on the FM band
using direct tuning (page 25), automatic
tuning (page 25), or preset tuning (page
27).
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
services, the RDS indicator lights up and the
program service name appears in the display.
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned
to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the
signal strength is weak.
