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 
TUNER information.
* If an RDS broadcast is not received, the station 
name may not appear in the display.
