What is the Radio Data
System?
The 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 display.
RDS is available only for FM stations.*
Note
• RDS may not work properly if the station you are
tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly,
or if the signal strength 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.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
services, the station name* appears in the front
panel display.
* If an RDS broadcast is not received, a station name
will not appear in the front panel display.

• When a station name is displayed, you can check the
frequency by pressing DISPLAY repeatedly.
This function is available on TVs with the
“BRAVIA” Sync function only.
By connecting Sony components that are
compatible with the Control for HDMI function
with an HDMI cable (not supplied), operation is
simplified as below:
– Theatre Mode (page 71)
– One-Touch Play (page 72)

Control for HDMI is a mutual control function
standard used by CEC (Consumer Electronics
Control) for HDMI (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface).
The Control for HDMI function will not work in
the following cases:
– When you connect this system to a
component which is not compatible with the
Control for HDMI function.
– A component does not have an HDMI jack.
There are convenient buttons on the system’s
remote for operating the TV, such as
THEATRE, ONE-TOUCH PLAY, TV ?/1.
For details, see “Controlling the TV with the
