Yamaha RX-V2700 User Manual

Radio Data System is a data transmission system used by FM stations in many countries. This unit can receive various 
Radio Data System data such as PS (program service), PTY (program type), RT (radio text), CT (clock time), and EON 
(enhanced other networks) when receiving Radio Data System broadcasting stations.

Refer to “FM/AM controls and functions” on page 56 about the 
controls and functions of Radio Data System tuning controls and 
functions.

Use this feature to display the 4 types of the Radio Data 
System information: PS (program service), PTY (program 
type), RT (radio text) and CT (clock time). The 
corresponding indicators light up in the front panel 
display.

• You can select one of the Radio Data System display modes 

only when the corresponding Radio Data System indicator 
lights up in the front panel display. It may take a while for this 
unit to receive all of the Radio Data System data from the 
station.

• You can select only the available Radio Data System display 

modes being offered by the station.

• If the signals being received are not strong enough, this unit 

may not be able to utilize the Radio Data System data. In 
particular, the “RT” mode requires a large amount of data and 
may not be available even when the other Radio Data System 
display modes are available.

• In case of poor reception conditions, press TUNING MODE 

(AUTO/MAN’L) on the front panel so that the AUTO indicator 
disappears from the front panel display.

• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference while 

this unit is receiving the Radio Data System data, the reception 
may be cut off unexpectedly and “...WAIT” appears in the front 
panel display.

• When the “RT” mode is selected, this unit can display the 

program information by a maximum of 64 alphanumeric 
characters, including the umlaut symbol. Unavailable characters 
are displayed with the “_” (underscore).

• If the reception is cut off when the “CT” mode is selected, “CT 

WAIT” appears in the front panel display.

• We recommend using the automatic preset tuning 

to tune into the Radio Data System broadcasting 
stations (see page 59).

• You can also use PTY SEEK mode to tune into the 

desired Radio Data System broadcasting station 
from the preset ones. 

• Select “PS” to display the name of the Radio Data 

System program currently being received.

• Select “PTY” to display the type of the Radio Data 

System program currently being received.

• Select “RT” to display the information on the 

Radio Data System program currently being 
received.

• Select “CT” to display the current time.
