  • Page 36 Calling a program of your desired program type from among preset RDS stations (PTY SEEK) By designating a program type, the unit automatically searches all preset stations for an RDS station which broadcasts a program of that program type. * There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations. For details, refer to page 34. Turn the unit into the PTY SEEK mode.
  • Page 37 Making this unit call a program of your desired program type automatically This function uses the EON (Enhanced Other Networks) data service on the RDS station network. By only selecting a desired program type (NEWS, INFO, AFFAIRS or SPORT), this unit automatically searches all preset RDS stations for a station that broadcasts a program of that program type in the background, and, if found, receives a program when its broadcast starts in place of the program now being received.
