CHANGING THE RDS MODES

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 on the display. By pressing RDS MODE, you can change the display mode among the RDS modes employed by the received station in the order shown below. Illumination of the RDS modes indicator shows that the corresponding RDS mode is now selected.

*When an RDS station is received, do not press RDS MODE until one or some names of RDS modes light up on the display. If the button is pressed before one or some names light up on the display, the mode cannot be changed. This is because the unit has not received all of the RDS data on the station yet.

*If no RDS mode lights up on the display, the mode cannot be changed.

*An RDS mode not employed by the station cannot be selected.

Notes

RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the received signal is not strong enough. Especially, the RT (Radio Text mode) requires a large amount of data to be received, so it is possible that the 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 TUNING MODE so that the “AUTO TUNING” indicator goes off from the display. Though the reception mode is changed to monaural by this opera- tion, when you change the display to an RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed.

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