Receiving RDS (European models only)
RDS reception is available only on the Euro-
pean model, and only in areas where RDS
broadcasts are available.
What is RDS?
Many FM stations now transmit RDS signals
which contain additional information. RDS
provides you with various services so that
you can choose a station broadcasting your
favorite categories of music or other infor-
mation. The information below is available
through the R-805X.
