This audio/visual system is
equipped with Radio Broadcast
Data Systems (RBDS). RBDS
mode allows text messages to
be received from radio stations
that utilize RBDS transmitters.
When RBDS is on, the radio can
do the following functions.
• Only selecting stations of a particular program type
• Displaying messages from radio stations
• Searching for a stronger sig- nal station
RBDS features are available
only when listening to an FM
station that broadcasts RBDS
information and the “FM Info”
function is on. ( P.138) HD Radio™ Technology is the
digital evolution of analog
AM/FM radio. Your radio product
has a special receiver which
allows it to receive digital broad-
casts (where available) in addi-
tion to the analog broadcasts it
already receives. Digital broad-
casts have better sound quality
than analog broadcasts as digi-
tal broadcasts provide free,
crystal clear audio with no static
or distortion. For more informa-
tion, and a guide to available
radio stations and programming,
