# to select either “FM AUTO” or “FM MONO.”
• Normally select “FM AUTO.”
• When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive or noisy, select “FM MONO.”
FM AUTO When a program is broadcast in stereo, you will hear stereo sound; when in monaural,
you will hear monaural sounds. This mode is also useful to suppress static noise between
stations.
The MUTE AUTO indicator lights up on the display.
FM MONO Reception will be improved although you will lose the stereo effect.
In this mode, you will hear noise while tuning into the stations.
The MUTE AUTO indicator goes off on the display.
Note:
You can store the FM reception mode for each preset station.

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to Receive FM Stations
RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example,
the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such
as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.
With the receiver, you can receive the following types of RDS signals.
PS (Program Service) : shows commonly known station names
PTY (Program Type) : shows types of broadcast programs
RT (Radio Text) : shows text messages the station sends
About characters shown on the display
When the display shows PS, PTY, or RT signals, the following characters are used.
• The display cannot differentiate upper case and lower case letters and always uses upper case letters.
• The display cannot show accented letters, “A”, for instance, may stand for accented “A’s” like “Å, Ä,
Ã, Á, À, and Â.”
Note:
RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not transmitting data properly or if the signal strength
is weak.
