Locating a station by programme type
(PTY)
You can locate a station you want by selecting a
programme type. The receiver tunes in the type of
programmes currently being broadcast from the RDS
stations stored in the receiver's preset memory.
1 Press RDS PTY to display the current PTY type.
Press PRESET/PTY SELECT + or – until the
programme type you want appears in the display.
See the following table for the programme types
you can select.
2 Press RDS PTY while the programme type
appears in the display.
The tuner starts searching the preset RDS stations
for the programme (“SEARCH” and the
programme type are displayed alternately).
When the receiver finds the programme you are
looking for, it stops searching. The preset number
of the preset station currently broadcasting the
selected programme type flashes, and the receiver
receives the station.
Note
“NO PTY” appears when the programme type that you've
selected is not being broadcast and the receiver returns to
the original station.
