- PTY (Program Type Codes)
This code is used to designate the current program material being broadcast. With this feature, you
can search the programs that match the selected program type, which is chosen from a specific list of
types.
- EON (Enhanced Other Networks Information)
It is a supplementary service enabling the radio to obtain information not only from the current station
but also from the others.
- CT (Clock Time)
This function permits to update the clock of the receiver the nation from which the station is
broadcasting (from PI). It could happen that on the display will be shown the wrong hour; this happens
because in Italy the Clock Time function is not working yet.
Notes
Depending on the country or region, not all of the RDS functions are available in Italy.
RDS may not work properly if the signal strength is weak or if the station you are tuned to is not
transmitting RDS data.

- MASK PI, MASK ALL
“PI” is referred to “Different PI with same AF”.
During AF search, PI stations and non-RDS stations with strong signal will be masked, in the latter
case, the non-RDS stations may cause interference, resulting the real AF to be masked due to the
misjudgment of the radio under interference.
There are two options to handle this situation.
MASK PI to mask only the AF with different PI.
MASK ALL mask both PI and strong signal non-RDS stations.
