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.
• The station name is displayed automatically
when an RDS station is received. However, if
the signal is not strong enough, it may be 
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.
