The name of the RDS station being received is displayed.
• If the unit cannot find a station with PS data, the unit stops
searching and “NO PS” appears on the display.

The type of the program on the RDS station now being
received is displayed. You can make this unit search for a
station which is broadcasting a program of a desired
program type. (Refer to PTY program mode in the next
section for details.)
RT
Information about the program (such as the title of the
track, artist name, etc.) on the RDS station being received
is displayed using a maximum of 64 alphabetical
characters, including umlaut sign. If other characters are
used in the RT data, they are displayed with an under-bar.
• If the unit cannot find a station with RT data, the unit stops
searching and “NO RT” appears on the display.

• If the unit cannot find a station with CT data, the unit stops

Note
• RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is
not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal
strength is weak.
• Some FM stations do not offer RDS service. Of those that do,
not all provide the same types of services. The types provided
by the received RDS station are dimmed on the display. Check
with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in
your area.
RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system
which has been introduced by FM stations in many
European countries. Stations using this system transmit an
inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio
signal. RDS data contains various types of information,
such as PS (Program Service), PTY (Program Type), RT
(Radio Text), and CT (Clock Time).
