Using the RDS (Radio Data
System) to receive FM stations
RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along
with their regular program signals. For example, the stations
send their station names, as well as information about what
type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music,
etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service,
the RDS indicator lights up on the display.
With the system, you can receive the following types of RDS
signals:
• PS (Program Service)
• PTY (Program Type)
• RT (Radio Text)
• Enhanced Other Networks :See page 26.
NOTES:
• RDS is not available for AM (MW) broadcasts.
• RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not
transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is
weak.
