    Using the Radio Data 
    System (RDS)
    (European and Russian models only)
    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.
    The station name appears on the TV screen as 
    well.
    Simply select a station from the FM band.
    When you tune in a station that provides RDS 
    services, the station name* appears in the front 
    panel display.
    * If an RDS broadcast is not received, the station 
    name may not appear in the front panel display.
    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.
    Tip While receiving an RDS broadcast and pressing 
    DISPLAY, you can change between the station name 
    and frequency in the front panel display.
