What is RDS?
Many FM stations now transmit RDS signals which give addi-
tional information. RDS provides you with various services so that
(for example) you can choose a station broadcasting your favorite
categories of music, or other information. The information on the
right side is available on this unit.
NOTE:
In some cases, the characters displayed on the display of the TX-
$V525R may not be exactly the same as the ones broadcast by the
radio station. If strange characters appear in the display, it is
because characters are being received that cannot be correctly dis-
played
