• 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 with the remote control, first
press TUNER to set the remote to tuner mode.

MODE again.
