Tuning operation
1 Frequency display mode
The frequency of the station being received is displayed.
2 PS (Program Service name) mode
The name of the station being received is displayed using characters
selected from among 64 Roman Alphabets including the umlaut.
* If other characters are used on the PS data, they are replaced by
underbars.
* “PS WAIT” may flash while the tuner is receiving the data.
* If the station does not employ the PS data service, “NO PS” lights up on
the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to the frequency
display mode.
3 PTY (Program Type) mode
The type of the program on the station being received is displayed. In this
mode, you can make this unit search for a station which is broadcasting a
program of your desired program type. For details, refer to the next page.
* If the RDS station does not employ the PTY data service, “NO PTY”
lights up on the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to the
frequency display mode. If the station has PS data, it turns into the PS
mode after that.
4 RT (Radio Text) mode
Information about the program on the station being received is displayed.
Information is displayed using characters selected from among 64 Roman
Alphabets including the umlaut.
* If other characters are used on the RT data, they are replaced by
underbars. “RT WAIT” may flash while the tuner is receiving the data.
* If the RDS station does not employ the RT data service, “NO RT” lights
up on the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to the frequency
display mode. If the station has PS data, it turns into the PS mode after
that.
5 CT (Clock Time) mode
Current time is displayed in the following form. The CT data from the
station being received changes every minute.
The tuner corrects the time of the built-in clock by synchronizing it with the
CT data. (This function can also be canceled, if so desired. Refer to page 23
for details.)
* “CT WAIT” may flash while the tuner is receiving the data. If the data
is accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may flash and then turn into “NO
CT”.
* If the RDS station does not employ the CT data service, “NO CT” lights
up on the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to the frequency
display mode. If the station has PS data, it turns into the PS mode after
that.
Notes
• RDS data service cannot be used if the received signal is not strong enough. The RT (Radio Text mode) especially needs much
data to be received, 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. In such a case, press AUTO/
MANUAL to tune manually. Though the reception mode is changed to monaural by this operation, RDS data may be displayed
when you change the display to an RDS mode.
• If the signal strength gets weakened by external interference when receiving an RDS station, the RDS data service may be cut off
suddenly and turn into the frequency display mode.
