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:

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

If you see No Data in the RT display, it means no RT data is transmitted from the broadcast station. If you have entered a name for the station, it is broadcast instead of RT data. If you haven’t, the display will automatically switch to the PS data display. If no PS data is transmitted from the station, the frequency will be displayed.
