The four modes are available in this unit for displaying 
RDS data. The PS, PTY, RT and/or CT mode indicators 
that correspond to the RDS data services offered by the 
station light up on the front panel display. Press FREQ/
RDS on the remote repeatedly to change the display mode 
among the RDS data offered by the transmitting station in 
the order shown below.
• Do not press FREQ/RDS until one or more RDS mode 
indicators light up on 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 TUNING MODE 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 on the front 
panel display.
If you select the desired program type, this unit 
automatically searches all preset RDS stations that are 
broadcasting a program of the required type.

broadcasting the selected type of program.

searching for another station broadcasting the same 
type of program.
