2Press FREQ/TEXT repeatedly on the remote control to display the various Radio Data System data offered by the transmitting station.

Notes

• Do not press FREQ/TEXT until a Radio Data System indicator

lights 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 Radio Data System data from

the station.

• Radio Data System data not offered by the station cannot be

selected.

• This unit cannot utilize the Radio Data System 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 Radio Data System

modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.

• Radio Data System data may not be received under poor

reception conditions. In such cases, press TUNING MODE

(AUTO/MAN’L MONO) so that the AUTO indicator

disappears from the front panel display. Although this will

change the reception mode to manual, Radio Data System data

may be displayed when you change the display to Radio Data

System mode.

• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference

during the reception of a Radio Data System station, the Radio

FREQ/TEXT

PS

Data System data service may be cut off suddenly and

“...WAIT” will appear in the front panel display.
