When an RDS station is received, “PS”, “PTY”, “RT” and/or “CT” that correspond to the RDS data services employed by the station light up in the display. By pressing the RDS MODE/FREQ 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.) Illumination of the indicator at the head of a name of an RDS mode shows that the corresponding RDS mode is selected.
*When an RDS station is received, do not press the RDS MODE/FREQ button until one or more RDS mode names light up in the display. If the button is pressed before one or more names light up in the display, the mode cannot be changed because the unit has not received all of the RDS data on the station yet.
*If no RDS mode name lights up in the display, the mode cannot be changed.

Notes
●RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the received signal is not strong enough. The RT (Radio Text) in particular transmits a great deal of data and needs strong signal reception to be successfully transmitted, so it may occur that RT mode cannot be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.
●There may be a case that RDS data reception is not possible due to poor reception conditions. If so, press the TUNING MODE button so that the “AUTO” indicator goes off from the display. 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.
●If the signal strength becomes weakened by external interference during RDS station reception, the RDS data service may be cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will be displayed.
