Notes
•Do not press FREQ/RDS until one or more RDS mode indicators light up in the front panel display. You cannot change the mode if you press the button prior to this. This is because this unit has not finished receiving all of the RDS data from the station.
•RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected.
•This unit cannot utilize the RDS data source 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.
•RDS data may not be received under poor reception conditions. In such cases, press TUNER (AUTO/MAN’L) so that the “AUTO” indicator disappears from the front panel display. Although this will change the reception mode to manual, 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 be cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will appear in the front panel display.
