Radio Data System is a data transmission system used by
FM stations. You can display the four types of the Radio
Data System information: PS (program service), PTY
(program type), RT (radio text), and CT (clock time). The
corresponding indicators light up in the front panel
display.
• You can select the Radio Data System display modes only when
the corresponding Radio Data System indicators are lit in the
front panel display. It may take a while for this unit to receive
all of the Radio Data System data from the station.
• If the signals being received are not strong enough, this unit
may not be able to utilize the Radio Data System data. In
particular, the “RT” mode requires a large amount of data and
may not be available even when the other Radio Data System
display modes are available.
• In case of poor reception conditions, tune into the desired
station manually (see page 49).
• In case the signal strength is weakened by external interference
while this unit is receiving the Radio Data System data, the
reception may be cut off unexpectedly and “...WAIT” appears in
the front panel display.
• If the reception is cut off when the “CT” mode is selected, “CT
WAIT” appears in the front panel display.
