Audio System (on vehicles without navigation system)
When you turn the TUNE knob, the
display will show different PTYs (see
the PTYs list on the previous
column).
After you select the desired program
type, the system will search for a
station with the same PTY code as
the selected program type. When
you use this function for the first
time, NEWS will appear as it was
preset at the factory.
After your desired PTY is displayed,
press either side of the SEEK/SKIP
button within 5 seconds. The system
will go into the PTY search mode
and search for a station of the
selected PTY. If there is no station
available in the selected PTY, NO
PTY is displayed for about 5 seconds
and the PTY search mode is
cancelled.

Features
If the selected RDS station does not
transmit PTY data, NO PTY is
displayed. When the selected station
is not an RDS station, NO RDS is
displayed for about 5 seconds.
The PTY setting mode is cancelled if
no further steps are taken within 5
seconds after selecting the desired
PTY with the TUNE knob.
Some stations may broadcast the
programs with different contents
from their PTY code.
In the PTY search mode, the tuning
step is set to 50 kHz while searching
on the FM band. This step changes
to 100 kHz when the AF or TA
function is activated.
PTY/News Interrupt Function
To activate this function, press the
TA/PTY button for more than 2
seconds and select NEWS. The
system will hold the last tuned FM
station/network PTY while you are
listening to the disc. With this
function on, playing disc is
interrupted and the system switches
from disc mode to the FM newscast
when the newscast is broadcasting
from the FM station.
You can change the volume level of
the interrupted newscast. Refer to
page for how to adjust the
220
volume level.
When the program is changed to
another program or the frequency
cannot be received for 10 seconds
due to a weak signal, the system will
return to the disc mode
automatically.
