What is RDS?
RDS (Radio Data System) is a system gradually
being introduced on FM in many countries,
whereby an inaudible stream of data is trans-
mitted in addition to the normal radio signal.
The data appears as text in the front panel
Information Display

c. This data can con-

tain various types of information, including sta-
tion identification, traffic and weather informa-
tion and a list of alternative frequencies for the
radio station being received.

1. Press the Tuner/Band button 

3 to

select FM. RDS is not available on the AM
band.
2. Tune in the desired station as described
above. At the time of writing of this owner’s
manual, a list of stations in the United States
that broadcast RDS data is available at the
Consumer Electronics Association’s Web site at
www.ce.org/market_overview/rds_stations.cfm.
3. When an RDS transmission is received, the
display shows the station name and the RDS
indicator 

z lights.

4. To return to a display of the station fre-
quency, press the Set/Station button ∞.

Notes:
• RDS is only available for FM Reception.

possible to receive the audio signal without 
any RDS data.
• When an RDS station is first tuned in, the
station name or other RDS information may be
garbled for a few seconds while JBL Soundgear
processes the signal. This is normal, and the
correct information will appear automatically
within a few seconds.
