Changing the RDS modes
When an RDS station is received, “PS”, “PTY”, “RT” and/or “CT” that correspond to the RDS data services employed by the station
light up in 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 at the head of a name of an RDS mode shows that the corresponding RDS mode is selected.
* When an RDS station is received, do not press the RDS MODE/FREQ button until one or more RDS mode names light up in the
display. If the button is pressed before one or more names light up in the display, the mode cannot be changed because the unit
has not received all of the RDS data on the station yet.
* If no RDS mode name lights up in 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 cannot be
selected.
PTY mode The type of the program on the station being received is displayed. If
the station does not employ the PTY data service, this mode cannot 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 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 displayed with under-bars.
If the station does not employ the RT data service, this mode cannot be
selected.
CT mode Current time is displayed in the following form. The CT data from the
station being received changes every minute.
If the data is accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may light up. If the station
does not employ the CT data service, this mode cannot 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. The RT (Radio Text) in particular
transmits a great deal of data and needs strong signal reception to be successfully transmitted, 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. 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 becomes weakened by external interference during RDS station reception, the RDS data service may be cut
off suddenly and “...WAIT” will be displayed.
