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 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 the name of an 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 more names of RDS modes light up on
the display. If the button is pressed before one or more 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.
CT mode Current time is displayed in the following form. The CT data
from the station being received changes every minute.
If the reception of data is accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may
light up. If the station does not employ the CT data service,
this mode will not 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. 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 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 receiving an RDS station, the RDS data service may be
cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will light up on the display.
