Radio Data System (Europe model only) is a data transmission system used by FM stations in many countries. The Radio
Data System function is carried out among the network stations. This receiver can receive various Radio Data System
information such as PS (program service), PTY (program type), RT (radio text), CT (clock time) and TP (traffic program)
when receiving Radio Data System broadcasting stations.
Use this feature to display the 4 types of the Radio Data
System information: PS (program service), PTY (program
type), RT (radio text) and CT (clock time).
Notes
• You can select only the available Radio Data System modes
being offered by the station.
• If the signals being received are not strong enough, the receiver
may not be able to utilize the Radio Data System data. In
particular, “RT” mode requires a large amount of data and may
not be available even when other Radio Data System modes are
available.
• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference while
the receiver is receiving the Radio Data System data, the
reception may be cut off unexpectedly and “...WAIT” appears
on the front panel display.
• When “RT” mode is selected, the receiver can display the
program information by a maximum of 64 alphanumeric
characters, including the umlaut symbol. Unavailable characters
are displayed with the “_” (underscore).
While tuning into a Radio Data System station,
press DISPLAY repeatedly to select desired
Radio Data System display mode.
