RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM
stations provide. These FM stations send additional signals
along with their regular programme signals. They send their
station names, and information about the type of programme
such as sport, music, etc.
When tuned to an RDS station, “RDS” and the station name will be
displayed.

 
You can control the RDS by using the buttons on the remote
control only.

When you are tuning in to a station other than an RDS station or to
an RDS station which sends weak signal, the display will change in
the following order:

Note that pressing DISPLAY button will change tuner information to

Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatically
search for new RDS stations. Up to 40 stations can be stored.
If you have already stored some stations in memory, the number of
new stations you can store will be less.
 

To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:
Press the RDS ASPM button whilst it is scanning for stations.
The stations which are already stored in memory will be kept there.

If the same station is broadcasting on different frequencies, the
strongest frequency will be stored in memory.
Any station which has the same frequency as one stored in
memory will not be stored.
If 40 stations have already been stored in memory, the scan will
be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the
preset memory.
If no stations have been stored in memory, “END” will appear for
about 4 seconds.
If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be
stored in memory.

To store a station name again if the wrong name was stored in
memory:
It may be impossible to store station names in memory using the
ASPM function if there is lots of noise or if the signal is too weak. In
this case, perform as follows.

After “ASPM” has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning will 
start (87.50 - 108.00 MHz).
