This receiver also allows you to use the RDS
(Radio Data System), which enables radio
stations to send additional information along
with the regular signal. You can also display the
RDS information.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station on the FM band
using automatic tuning, manual tuning
(page 37), or preset tuning (page 38).
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
services, the RDS indicator appears and the
programme station name appears on the display.
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned in
is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the
signal strength is weak.
Displaying RDS information
While receiving an RDS station, press the
black DISPLAY button.
Each time that you press the button, the RDS
information on the display changes cyclically as
