■RT (Radio Text) mode:

Information about the program (such as the title of the song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station being received is displayed by a maximum of 64 alphanumeric characters, including the umlaut symbol. If other characters are used for RT data, they are displayed with under-bars.

■CT (Clock Time) mode:

The current time is displayed and updated every minute. If the data are accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may appear.

■EON (Enhanced Other Networks):

See “EON function” on the following page.

Four modes are available 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 in the front panel display.
