Display Mode Information
Some radio stations on the FM band (not AM band) and/or SAT band will broadcast audio-
related data information which can be viewed on your center Display Screen.
If the station you are listening to is broadcasting this information,
the following may be shown:
Station/Channel call sign/name/station announcement or
description (e.g. KKJZ 88.1/”Cool Jazz”/”L.A.’s coolest jazz”).
Music or programming type (e.g. Jazz or Rock).
The name of the song and the artist.
Traffic and/or weather reports.
In addition, sometimes more detailed information (called RADIO
TEXT for FM stations and CATEGORY TEXT or just TEXT for SAT
stations) may be available for some data-transmitting stations (e.g.
station phone number, web address, or artist/song title). When
you are listening to a station which is broadcasting this type of
detailed information, a message will appear at the bottom of the
center Display Screen that says ‘Push “ENTER” to Display Station Msg.’
To return to the main center Display Screen from the Station Msg. screen, press the
PREV
button.
Note: For SAT stations, the artist/song title “rolls” (changes as each new artist/song is played) while you are displaying
information on the Station Msg. screen. For FM stations, the artist/song title displayed are those which were playing
when you pressed ENTER to display the Station Msg. The information does not “roll” as each new artist/song is played.
