displays RDS (Radio Data System) information about the station
and show (where broadcast).

listening modes until FM Radio is displayed.
The FM radio mode menu offers the following options:

Now playing information

Scan settings
By default, FM scans stop at any available station. This may result in a poor signal-to-noise ratio (hiss) from
weak stations. To change the scan settings to stop only at stations with good signal strength, press
MENU > Scan setting > Strong stations only? > Yes.
Audio settings
By default, all stereo stations are reproduced in stereo. For weak stations, this may result in a poor signal-
to-noise ratio (hiss). To play weak stations in mono, press MENU > Audio setting > FM weak reception:
Listen in mono only > Yes.
