Receiving RADIO DATA SYSTEM
24
The Radio Data System is a transmission system for FM
stations used mainly in the U.K. and Europe. The Radio
Data System transmissions include various types of
information such as PS (Program Service), PTY (Program
Type), RT (Radio Text), and CT (Clock Time). Follow the
procedure below to receive FM stations by the Radio Data
System transmissions on this unit.

Press INFO/TEXT MODE.
Each time INFO/TEXT MODE (or INFO/TEXT on
the remote control) is pressed, the mode is changed as
follows:
y
When a mode is selected, the display screen blinks for three
seconds, then the information is displayed.
PROGRAM SERVICE
The name of the station being received is displayed.
The frequency will be displayed, if there is no
program service data.
CLOCK TIME
The current time is displayed and updated every
minute.
“NO CT” is displayed if there is no time data.
PROGRAM TYPE
The program type is displayed (see page 25 for a list
of program types).
RADIO TEXT
Information about the program (such as the title of
the song or name of the singer) being received is
displayed using a maximum of 64 alphanumeric
characters.
The mode is automatically switched to PROGRAM
SERVICE mode, if there is no radio text data.
TRAFFIC ANNOUNCE
Traffic information is displayed. The TRAFFIC
ANNOUNCE MODE switches to PROGRAM
SERVICE mode, when a traffic program is found.
The mode switches to PROGRAM SERVICE mode
without searching for a traffic program, if the current
selected station is transmitting a traffic program
signal.

• The available Radio Data System information types vary
depending on the station.
• If the FM Radio Data System station’s signal transmission is
too weak, this unit may not be able to receive Radio Data
System information completely. In particular, RT (Radio Text)
information uses a lot of bandwidth, so it may not be available
even when other modes are selectable.
