RECEIVING RDS STATIONS

RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system used by FM stations in many countries.

RDS data contains a variety of information such as PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program Type), RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), EON (Enhanced Other Networks), and others.

CT (Clock Time) mode:

The current time is displayed and updated every minute. “CT WAIT” may appear if the data is accidentally cut off.

Notes

Do not press RDS MODE/FREQ when an RDS station is being received until one or more RDS mode indicators light up on the front panel display. You cannot change the mode if you press this button prior to this. This is because this unit has not finished receiving all of the RDS data on the station.

RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected.

This unit cannot utilize the RDS data service if the signal received is not strong enough. In particular, the RT mode requires a large amount of data, so it is possible that the RT mode may not be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.

Sometimes, RDS data cannot be received in poor reception conditions. If this is the case, press TUNING MODE so that the “AUTO” indicator disappears from the front panel display. Although this will change the reception mode to monoaural, RDS data may be displayed when you change the display to RDS mode.

If the signal strength is weakened by external interference during the reception of an RDS station, the RDS data service may cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will appear on the front panel display.
