➀ FREQ (usual) mode
The frequency of the station being received is
displayed.
➁ PS (Program Service name) mode
The name of the station being received is displayed.
“PS WAIT” may flash while the unit 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 usual mode.
➂ PTY (Program Type) mode
The type of the program on the station being received
is displayed. 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 usual mode.
If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the
PS mode.
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.
➃ RT (Radio Text) mode
Information about the program on the station being
received is displayed. Information is displayed by a
maximum of 64 Roman Alphabets including umlaut
sign. If other characters are used on the RT data, they
are displayed with blank spaces.
“RT WAIT” may flash while the unit 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 usual mode.
If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the
PS mode.
➄ CT (Clock Time) mode
Current time is displayed in the following form. The
CT data from the station being received changes
every minute.
This unit corrects 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 25 for
details.)
“CT WAIT” may flash while the unit 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 usual mode.
If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the
PS mode.
Note
RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the
received signal is not strong enough. Especially, the RT
(Radio Text mode) 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.

RDS MODE
To turn the unit into the RDS
mode
Press the RDS MODE selector button. If the station now
being received is an RDS station, whenever pressed, the
mode changes into the PS mode, PTY mode, RT mode, CT
mode and returns to usual mode in turn.
* If the station is not an RDS station, pressing the RDS
MODE selector button displays “NO RDS” on the display,
and then it returns to the frequency display mode.
* When an RDS station is received, the display is
automatically turned into the PS mode. Do not press the
RDS MODE selector button until the display is turned into
the PS mode. If the button is pressed before the display
mode is changed, it may occur that “NO PS” appears on
the display. This is because the unit has not received all of
the RDS data on the station yet.
