Using RDS
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS features are available for use
only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information.
Using this system, the radio can do the following:
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type
of programming,
receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies,
display messages from radio stations, and
seek to stations with traffic announcements.
This system relies upon receiving specific information
from these stations and will only work when the
information is available. In rare cases, a radio station
may broadcast incorrect information that will cause the
radio features to work improperly. If this happens,
contact the radio station.
While you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name
or the call letters will appear on the display, instead of
the frequency. RDS stations may also provide the time
of day, a program type (PTY) for current programming
and the name of the program being broadcast.
DISP (Display): Press this knob to change what appears
on the display while using RDS. The display options are
station name, RDS station frequency, PTY and the name
of the program (if available). Pressing and holding this
knob will activate the RDS default display.
