Features
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
bar 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.
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 interface dial.
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.
