Changing The Rds Mode; Pty Seek Function - Yamaha RX-SL100RDS Owner's Manual

Changing the RDS mode

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.

Notes
• 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.
