1 Select the FM band by pressing TUNER.

2 Press DISPLAY to display the current time.

3 Press FREQ/RDS.

4 Each time you press PTY SEEK MODE the display will change as follows:

1.CT =CLOCK (ON/OFF)

The tuner corrects the time of the built-in clock automatically by synchronizing it with the CT data on the RDS station being received.

•If you receive an RDS station of some other country, the built-in clock is synchronized with the time setting of the country.

•If the built-in clock is not yet set for the current time or reset due to a power failure, etc., it will be set for the time of the CT data automatically, whether this setting is ON or OFF.

2.LOCAL =CT (ON/OFF)

If the RDS station being received employs the local time (summer time, etc.) data service, its time is displayed in the CT mode.

3.A.M. =RDS (ON/OFF)

RDS stations are searched instead of all FM stations by the automatic preset tuning operation when the setting is ON. (Refer to page 11.)

4.RT SPEED: ±0

Changes the scrolling speed of the radio text decreasing the value and, in turn, reducing the speed.

Control Range: ±0 to ±3 (Preset value: ±0)

5 Choose the function ON or OFF by pressing PTY SEEK START, confirming it in the display. Press PTY SEEK START repeatedly to change the value for RT SPEED.

•If there is no operation for about 20 seconds, this mode is cancelled and turns into the frequency display. If the station has PS data, it turns into the PS mode.

6 Press FREQ/RDS again to restore the frequency display mode.
