Understanding radio modes
Your radio has three radio modes: Analog (FM), HD Radio digital, and RBDS
(Radio Broadcast Data System). The three radio modes are automatically
changed when the receiving frequency is changed.
Analog (FM) mode
Analog (FM) mode is the standard mode that has been in use for many
years. The FM radio signal is an analog signal. When receiving an FM
signal, the “FM” icon appears on the display.
HD Radio™ mode
HD Radio™ mode is the new digital mode for FM. Many HD Radio stations
have several sub-channels called “multicast channels.” When receiving an
HD Radio signal, the “HD” icon and the channel number appear on the
display.
RBDS mode
RBDS (Radio Broadcasting Data System) mode, or RDS outside of the U.S.,
provides additional functionality to FM radio reception by transmitting
encoded analog information with the FM radio signal. This signal is
decoded by an RBDS receiver and can provide a range of informational
features including the station’s name. The RBDS text is usually centered.
When the text fills the display, it begins scrolling. When receiving an RBDS
signal, “RBDS” appears on the display.
