RDS is a system that transmits useful information (in the form of digital
data) for FM broadcasts along with the broadcast signal. Tuners and
receivers designed for RDS reception can extract the information from the
broadcast signal for use with various functions, such as automatic display
of the station name.
RDS functions:
PTY (Program Type Identification) Search §
Automatically tunes to a station that is currently broadcasting the
specified program type (genre).
PS (Program Service Name) Display
Automatically displays the station name transmitted by the RDS station.
RDS AUTO MEMORY function ¢
Automatically selects and stores up to 40 RDS stations in the preset
memory.
If fewer than 40 RDS stations have been stored in the preset memory,
regular FM stations will be stored in the remaining places.
Radio Text function
Displays the radio text data transmitted by some RDS stations when you
press the RDS DISP. (Display) key. There is no “NO RT” display if no text
data is transmitted.

received.
Before using a function utilizing the RDS, be sure to perform the RDS
Auto Memory operation by referring to the description in “Presetting
RDS stations (RDS AUTO MEMORY)”. ¢
Note
Some functions and function names may differ for certain countries
and areas.
