Selecting the FM Reception Mode When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive or noisy
You can change the FM reception mode while receiving an FM broadcast.

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to Receive FM Stations
RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display. With the receiver, you can receive the following types of RDS signals. PS (Program Service) : Shows commonly known station names PTY (Program Type) : Shows types of broadcast programs RT (Radio Text) : Shows text messages the station sends EON (Enhanced Other Network): See page 16.
