Tuning operation
1
Frequency display mode
The frequency of the station being received is displayed.
2
PS (Program Service name) mode
The name of the station being received is displayed using characters
selected from among 64 Roman Alphabets including umlaut sign.
* If other characters are used on the PS data, they are replaced by
underbars.
* “PS WAIT” may flash while the tuner is receiving the data.
* If the station does not employ the PS data service, “NO PS” lights up on
the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to the frequency display
mode.
3
PTY (Program Type) mode
The type of the program on the station being received is displayed. In this
mode, 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.
* If the RDS station does not employ the PTY data service, “NO PTY” lights
up on the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to the frequency
display mode. If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the PS
mode.
4
RT (Radio Text) mode
Information about the program on the station being received 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
underbars.
“RT WAIT” may flash while the tuner is receiving the data.
* If the RDS station does not employ the RT data service, “NO RT” lights up
on the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to the frequency
display mode. If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the PS
mode.
5
CT (Clock Time) mode
Current time is displayed in the following form. The CT data from the station
being received changes every minute.
The tuner corrects the time of the built-in clock by synchronizing it with the
CT data. (This function can also be canceled, if so desired. Refer to page 24
for details.)
* “CT WAIT” may flash while the tuner is receiving the data. If the data is
accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may flash and then turn into “NO CT”.
* If the RDS station does not employ the CT data service, “NO CT” lights up
on the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to the frequency
display mode. If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the PS
mode.

Notes
●
RDS data service cannot be used if the received signal is not strong enough. Especially, the RT (Radio Text mode) needs much
data to be received, so it may occur that RT mode cannot be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.
●
There may be a case that RDS data reception is not possible due to poor reception conditions. In such a case, press
AUTO/MANUAL to make tuning manually. 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 during receiving an RDS station, the RDS data service may be cut
off suddenly and turn into the frequency display mode.
