Displaying the Radio Data System information

Use this feature to display the 4 types of the Radio Data System information: PS (program service), PTY (program type), RT (radio text) and CT (clock time). The corresponding indicators light up in the front panel display.

Notes

•You can select one of the Radio Data System modes only when the corresponding Radio Data System indicator lights up in the front panel display. It may take a while for the receiver to receive all of the Radio Data System data from the station.

•You can select only the available Radio Data System modes being offered by the station.

•If the signals being received are not strong enough, the receiver may not be able to utilize the Radio Data System data. In particular, the “RT” mode requires a large amount of data and may not be available even when the other Radio Data System modes are available.

•In case of poor reception conditions, press AUTO/MAN’L on the front panel of the receiver so that the AUTO indicator disappears from the front panel display.

•If the signal strength is weakened by external interference while the receiver is receiving the Radio Data System data, the reception may be cut off unexpectedly and “...WAIT” appears in the front panel display.

•When the “RT” mode is selected, the receiver can display the program information by a maximum of 64 alphanumeric characters, including the umlaut symbol. Unavailable characters are displayed with the “_” (underscore).
