Listening to the Radio—Continued
RDS only works with European models and only in
areas where RDS broadcasts are available.
When tuned into an RDS station, the RDS indicator
appears.
■ What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed
by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is avail-
able in most European countries. Many FM stations use
it these days. In addition to displaying text information,
RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g.,
news, sport, rock, etc.).
The DVD receiver supports two types of RDS informa-
tion:
PS (Program Service)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS
information, the station’s name will be displayed.
RT (Radio Text)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text
information, the text will be shown on the display.
Notes:
• In some cases, the text characters displayed on the
DVD receiver may not be identical to those broadcast
by the radio station. Also, unexpected characters may
be displayed when unsupported characters are
received. This is not a malfunction.
• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data
may be displayed intermittently or not at all.
