Introduced by the European Broadcasting Union
(EBU) in 1987, the Radio Data System (RDS) allows
information such as station name, etc., to be received
via the 57kHz sub-carrier signal of FM broadcasts.
However, the availability of the RDS data varies
according to area. It therefore may not always be
possible to receive the RDS information.

Each DAB broadcast multiplex “services” (radio
programmes) into an “ensemble” which are then
broadcast.
Each service (radio programme) contains “compo-
nent,” which you can select and you wish to listen to.
All services and components are identified by name,
so you can access any of them without having to
know their frequencies.
Furthermore, additional information (called
programme associated data) can be broadcast along
with the services in the form of text.
DAB programmes are broadcast in Band-III (174 to
240 MHz) and L-Band (1 452 to 1 491 MHz), with
each band divided into ensemble (41 in Band-III and
23 in L-Band). These ensemble have its own channel
label. For the details of the channel label and its
frequency, see “DAB frequency table.” One ensemble
is broadcast per channel by each DAB station.
Notes
• This function works only when receiving RDS data.
• If it may not operate depending on the areas, disable
this function.
• If this function is being activated while adjusting the
clock manually, RDS data will adjust the clock the
next time the unit receives it.
