Changing the RDS modes

When an RDS station is received, “PS”, “PTY” and/or “RT” that correspond to the RDS data services employed by the station light
up on 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 on the head of a name of RDS mode shows that the corresponding RDS mode is now
selected.
* When an RDS station is received, do not press the RDS MODE/FREQ button until one or some names of RDS modes light up on

the display. If the button is pressed before one or some names light up on the display, the mode cannot be changed. This is
because the unit has not received all of the RDS data on the station yet.

* If no name of RDS mode lights up on 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
will not 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 will not 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
will not be selected.

Frequency

The frequency of the station being received is displayed.

Notes

RDS data service cannnot be utilized by this unit 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. If so, press the TUNING MODE
button so that “AUTO” 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.
