a type cannot be found.
Displaying RDS information
Use the DISPLAY button to display the different types of
RDS information available (RT, PS and PTY).
• Press DISPLAY to select the RDS information
display.
Each press changes the display as follows:
• RT – Radio Text display
• PS – Program Service display
• PTY – Program Type display
• Current tuner frequency
• In the RT mode, if any noise is picked up while
displaying the text, some characters may be
displayed incorrectly temporarily.
• In the RT, when no RT data is transmitted from the
broadcast station, NO RADIO TEXT DATA is
displayed once and after that the PS data is
displayed. If you have entered a name for that station
it will be displayed.
• In the PTY mode, there are cases where NO DATA is
displayed. In this case the tuner will automatically
switch to the PS mode after a few seconds.
• If reception conditions are strong but the RDS data
is displayed incorrectly, press RF ATT .

variety of others.
