cannot be found.

Displaying RDS information

Use the DISPLAY button to display the
different types of RDS information available
(RT, PS and PTY).
• Press DISPLAY to select the RDS
information display.
Each press changes the display as follows:
• RT – Radio Text display
• PS – Program Service display
• PTY – Program Type display
• Current tuner frequency
• If any noise is picked up while displaying
the RT scroll, some characters may be
displayed incorrectly.

• If you see NO RADIO TEXT DATA in the
RT display, it means no RT data is
transmitted from the broadcast station. If
you have entered a name for the station, it
is broadcast instead of RT data. If you
haven't, the display will automatically
switch to the PS data display. If no PS
data is transmitted from the station, the
frequency will be displayed.
• In the PTY display, there are cases where
NO DATA is shown. If this happens, the
PS display is shown after a few seconds.
• This unit converts lower case characters
transmitted by broadcast stations to
upper case characters.
• If reception conditions are strong but the
RDS data is displayed incorrectly, press
RF ATT.

Searching for RDS programs

One of the most useful features of RDS is the

program. You can search for any of the
