RECEIVING RDS STATIONS <U.K. and Europe models only>

Changing the RDS modes

When an RDS station is received, by pressing the FREQ PS/PTY/RT/CT selector button once or more, you can change the display mode among the RDS modes employed by the received station in the order shown below. (The RDS mode not employed by the station cannot be selected.)

*If the station is not an RDS station, pressing the FREQ PS/PTY/RT/CT selector button displays “NO RDS” on the display, and then it returns to the frequency display mode.

*When an RDS station is received, the display is automatically turned into the PS mode. Do not press the FREQ PS/PTY/RT/CT selector button until the display is turned into the PS mode. If the button is pressed before the display mode is changed, it may occur that “NO PS” appears on the display. This is because the unit has not received all of the RDS data on the station yet.

➀Frequency display mode

The frequency of the station being received is displayed.

➁PS (Program Service name) mode

The name of the station being received is displayed using characters selected from among 64 Roman Alphabets including umlaut sign. If other characters are used on the PS data, they are displayed with underbars.

“PS WAIT” may flash while the unit is receiving the data.

If the station does not employ the PS data service, “NO PS” lights up on the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to frequency display mode.

➂PTY (Program Type) mode

The type of the program on the station being received is displayed. If the RDS station does not employ the PTY data service, “NO PTY” lights up on the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to frequency display mode.

If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the PS mode.

In this mode, you can make this unit search for a station which is broadcasting a program of your desired program type. For details, refer to the next page.

➃RT (Radio Text) mode

Information about the program on the station being received is displayed. Information is displayed by a maximum of 64 Roman Alphabets including umlaut sign. If other characters are used on the RT data, they are displayed with underbars.

“RT WAIT” may flash while the unit is receiving the data.

If the RDS station does not employ the RT data service, “NO RT” lights up on the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to frequency display mode. If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the PS mode.

➄CT (Clock Time) mode

Current time is displayed in the following form. The CT data from the station being received changes every minute.

This unit corrects time of the built-in clock by synchronizing it with the CT data. (This function can also be canceled, if so desired. Refer to page 30 for details.)

“CT WAIT” may flash while the unit is receiving the data. If the data is accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may flash and then turn into “NO CT”.

If the RDS station does not employ the CT data service, “NO CT” lights up on the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to frequency display mode. If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the PS mode.
