the left lower side of the menu while the fre-
quency of each station stored will be shown on

RDS Station ID
With the help of RDS (Radio Data System) you
can show the name of the station you are
currently listening to as well as the station
names of all other presets.
The RDS function is set to active by default,
shown by the dark blue RDS icon at the left of
the menu. In this mode, all station names will be
visible both on the OSD menu as well as on the
Information Display on the front panel.
If the RDS function on the left side of the menu is
inactive (light blue), you will only see the frequen-
cy of the current preset shown in the menu and
on the front panel display. The Station Name line
on top of the menu will disappear, but the name
of all other stations preset will keep in the list.
Pressing STATUS

indication in the OSD on or off.
