What is RDS?
RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for pro-
viding information along with FM broadcasts.
This inaudible information provides such fea-
tures as program service name, program type,
traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning
and program type tuning, intended to aid radio
listeners in finding and tuning in to a desired
station.
Note:
• RDS service may not be provided by all stations.
• RDS functions like AF (alternative frequencies
search) and TA (traffic announcement standby) are
only available when your radio is tuned in to an RDS
station.
Displaying the frequency of an
RDS station
When you tune in to an RDS station, its pro-
gram service name is displayed. If you want to
know the frequency, perform the following
steps.
• Press DISP to change the frequency (or
PTY information) display.
Press DISP repeatedly to switch between
the following displays:
FORM 1
Program service name = PTY information
= Frequency
FORM 2
Program service name = Frequency
Note:
• After switching displays, if you do not perform an
operation within eight seconds, the display auto-
matically returns to the program service name.
• The PTY (program type ID code) information is cor-
related with the list in the section “PTY list” on page
21.
