(Radio Broadcast Data System). The three radio modes are automatically  
changed when the receiving frequency is changed.

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  
RDS (Radio Data System) mode provides additional functionality to FM  
radio reception by transmitting encoded analog information with the FM  
radio signal. This signal is decoded by an RDS receiver and can provide a  
range of informational features including the station’s name. The RDS text  
is usually centered. When the text fills the display, it begins scrolling.  
When receiving an RBDS signal, the “RBDS” icon appears on the display.
