RADIO MODE

Programme type (PTY)

Besides transmitting the station name,
some FM stations also provide informa-
tion on the type of programme that they
are broadcasting. Your car radio can
receive and display this information.
For example, the programme types can
be:
CULTURE TRAVEL
SPORT NEWS
ROCK CLASSICS
You can use the PTY function to select
stations of a particular programme type.
PTY-EON
If you specify the programme type and
start seek tuning, the radio will switch
from the current station to a station of
the selected programme type.
Note:
If the tuner does not find a station that
corresponds to the selected programme
type, you will hear a beep and "NO PTY"
appears briefly in the display. The radio
will then retune to the station that it re-
ceived last.
If the tuned radio station or another
station on the broadcasting net-
work broadcasts your selected pro-
gramme type at a later point in
time, the radio will automatically
switch from the currently tuned sta-
tion or from CD mode, MP3 mode
or CD-changer mode to the station
whose programme type matches
the one you selected.
