Displaying RDS information

Use the DISPLAY button to display the different types of RDS information available.2

Press DISP for RDS information.

Each press changes the display as follows:

Radio Text (RT) – Messages sent by the radio station. For example, a talk radio station may provide a phone number as RT.

Program Service Name (PS) – The name of the radio station.

Program Type (PTY) – This indicates the kind of program currently being broadcast.

Current tuner frequency

Using EON

When EON (Enhanced Other Network information) is turned on, the receiver jumps to an EON-linked broadcast when it begins, even if a receiver function other than the tuner is being used. It can’t be used in areas that EON information isn’t transmitted and when FM broadcast stations don’t transmit PTY data. When the broadcast ends, the tuner returns to the original frequency or function.

Note

1RDS searches station presets only. If no stations have been preset, or if the program type could not be found among the station presets NO PTY is dis- played. FINISH means the search is complete.

2• If any noise is picked up while displaying the RT scroll, some characters may be displayed incorrectly.

If you see NO RADIO TEXT DATA in the RT display, it means no RT data is sent from the broadcast station. The display will automatically switch to the PS data display (if no PS data, the frequency is displayed).

In the PTY display, NO DATA or NONE may be shown. In this case, the PS display is shown after a few seconds.

3EON is only possible in the FM band.

5• You cannot operate the TUNER EDIT and PTY SEARCH buttons while the EON indicator in the display is lit.

If you want to change to a function other than the tuner when the EON indicator is flashing, press EON MODE to turn EON off.
