Changing the RDS modes
When an RDS station is received, “PS”, “PTY” and/or “RT” that correspond to the RDS data services employed by the station light
up on the display. By pressing the RDS MODE/FREQ button once or more, you can change the display mode among the RDS
modes employed by the received station in the order shown below. (The RDS mode not employed by the station cannot be
selected.) Illumination of the indicator on the head of a name of RDS mode shows that the corresponding RDS mode is now
selected.
* When an RDS station is received, do not press the RDS MODE/FREQ button until one or some names of RDS modes light up on
the display. If the button is pressed before one or some names light up on the display, the mode cannot be changed. This is
because the unit has not received all of the RDS data on the station yet.
* If no name of RDS mode lights up on the display, the mode cannot be changed.
PS mode
The name of the station being received is displayed.
If the station does not employ the PS data service, this mode
will not be selected.
PTY mode
The type of the program currently broadcasted on the station
is displayed. If the station does not employ the PTY data
service, this mode will not be selected.
(You can make this unit search for a station which is
broadcasting a program of your desired program type. For
details, refer to the next page.)
RT mode
Information about the program currently broadcasted on the
station is displayed. Information is displayed by a maximum
of 64 Roman Alphabets including umlaut sign. If other
characters are used on the RT data, they are replaced by
under-bars and displayed.
If the station does not employ the RT data service, this mode
will not be selected.
Frequency
The frequency of the station being received is displayed.

Notes
•
RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the received signal is not strong enough. Especially, the RT (Radio Text mode)
needs sufficient data to be received, so the RT mode may not display even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.
•
RDS data reception may not be possible due to poor reception conditions. If so, press the TUNING MODE button so that the
“AUTO” indicator goes off from the display. Though the reception mode is changed to monaural by this operation, when you
change the display to an RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed.
•
If the signal strength gets weakened by external interference when receiving an RDS station, the RDS data service may be cut off
suddenly and “...WAIT” will light up on the display.
