The FM MODE can be changed from the de-
fault AUTO MUTING to MONO reception. In
AUTO MUTING mode, a stereo signal will be
heard if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal
and there is sufficient signal strength. An ST in-
dicator will light in the front-panel display. In
mono mode, a mono signal will be heard even
if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal.
NOTE

RDS Broadcast Reception
The Rotel RSDX-02e is equipped with RDS (Ra-
dio Data Systems) reception capabilities. This
broadcast systems provide additional function-
ality by transmitting encoded information along
with the radio signal on selected FM stations.
This signal is decoded by an RDS receiver and
can provide a range of informational features
including:
• PS (Program Service): a display of the
station’s identifying name (e.g. BBC1)
• PTY (Program Type): a display of the
station’s program content (e.g. NEWS,
SPORT, etc.)
• RT (Radio Text): a scrolling text display
for announcements or information
In addition, RDS provides several advanced
search features including:
• Search for a station with the desired pro-
gram content (PTY)
• Interrupt normal reception with special
announcements such as TA (traffic), NEWS,
or INFO from stations on the same RDS
network.

broadcasts. The features described below are
only operational in FM mode.
The RDS are available when stations are broad-
casting these data signals. When a station
broadcasting an RDS signal is being received,
an RDS indicator lights in the front panel dis-
play. Otherwise, the RSDX-02e functions as
a standard radio receiver.
