Changing the RDS mode

Four modes are available in this unit for displaying RDS
data. The PS, PTY, RT and/or CT indicators that
correspond to the RDS data services offered by the station
light up in the front panel display. Press RDS MODE/
FREQ (or FREQ/RDS on the remote control) repeatedly
to display the various RDS data offered by the
transmitting station as shown below.

When performing this operation with the remote control, first
press TUNER to set the remote to tuner mode.
Notes
• Do not press RDS MODE/FREQ until an RDS indicator lights
up in the front panel display. You cannot change the mode if
you press the button prior to this. This is because this unit has
not finished receiving all of the RDS data from the station.
• RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected.
• This unit cannot utilize the RDS data source if the signal
received is not strong enough. In particular, the RT mode
requires a large amount of data, so it is possible that the RT
mode may not be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY,
etc.) are displayed.
• RDS data may not be received under poor reception conditions.
In such cases, press TUNING MODE so that the AUTO
indicator disappears from the front panel display. Although this
will change the reception mode to manual, RDS data may be
displayed when you change the display to RDS mode.
• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference
during the reception of an RDS station, the RDS data service
may be cut off suddenly and "...WAIT" will appear on the front
panel display.
