RADIO DATA SYSTEM (EUROPE MODEL ONLY)

• Do not press FREQ/TEXT until a Radio Data System indicator 

lights up in 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 Radio Data System data from 

the station.

• Radio Data System data not offered by the station cannot be 

selected.

• This unit cannot utilize the Radio Data System 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 Radio Data System 

modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.

• Radio Data System data may not be received under poor 

reception conditions. In such cases, press TUNING MODE 

(AUTO/MAN’L MONO) so that the AUTO indicator 

disappears from the front panel display. Although this will 

change the reception mode to manual, Radio Data System data 

may be displayed when you change the display to Radio Data 

System mode.

• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference 

during the reception of a Radio Data System station, the Radio 

Data System data service may be cut off suddenly and 

“...WAIT” will appear in the front panel display.

If you select the desired program type, this unit 

automatically searches all preset Radio Data System 

stations that are broadcasting a program of the required 

type.

y

When performing this operation, first slide the AMP/DEVICE 

switch to the AMP position.

Press PTY SEEK MODE on the remote 

control to set this unit in the PTY SEEK 

mode.

The program type of the station being received or 

“NEWS” flashes in the front panel display.

To exit from the PTY SEEK mode, press PTY SEEK 

MODE again.
