when in monaural, you will hear monaural sounds. This mode is
also useful to suppress static noise between stations.

In this mode, you will hear noise while tuning into the stations.
The MUTE AUTO indicator goes off on the display.
Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to Receive FM Stations
RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program
signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about
what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights
up on the display.
With the receiver, you can receive the following types of RDS signals.
PS (Program Service) :
PTY (Program Type) :
RT (Radio Text) :
EON (Enhanced Other Network): see page 22.
