Notes
cRDS data service cannot be used if the received signal is not strong enough. Especially, the RT (Radio Text mode) needs much data to be received, so it may occur that RT mode cannot be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.
cThere may be a case that RDS data reception is not possible due to poor reception conditions. In such a case, press AUTO/MANUAL to make tuning manually. Though the reception mode is changed to monaural by this operation, when you change the display to an RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed.
cIf the signal strength gets weakened by external interference during receiving an RDS station, the RDS data service may be cut off suddenly and turn into the frequency display mode.
