Using the Radio Data System
(RDS)
What you can do with the Radio Data
System
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that
aliows radio stations to send additional information
along with the regular radio programme signal. This
receiver offers you three convenient RDS features:
Displaying the RDS information; Monitoring of traffic,
news, or information programmes; and Locating a
station by programme type. RDS is available only on
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 types 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.

When you tune ina station that provides RDS services,
. the station name appears in the display.

display advances one step through the following

Monitoring traffic, news, or information
programmes (EON)
Enhanced Other Networks (EON) allows the tuner to

news, or other information. After the programme ends,
the tuner switches back to the station you were

press EON before tuning to an RDS station.
When a station starts broadcasting the programme you
selected, the receiver switches to the station, a message
(e.g., "NOW
TA") appears and the respective indicator
(e.g.,""TA") flashes. After the programme ends, the
receiver switches back to the station you were listening
to (or the function you were using).
To stop monitoring the programme
Press EON once.
Turn off the EON feature when you want to record a
programme without interruptions, especially when you
want to do timer recording.

beforehand.

weak signal. Then the receiver returns to the previous
station (or function).
