When you select RT, up to 64 characters of information
transmitted by the station will be displayed.
If there is no RT data, "NO TEXT" will be displayed.

RDS clock time (CT)
The clock setting will be automatically adjusted accord-

If you tune in to an RDS station broadcasting incorrect

No matter which RDS mode is selected, the unit
receives CT data and adjusts the clock.
To turn the CT mode on and off, press and hold
the INFO button for more than two seconds, then
turn the volume knob to select on or off.
