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 PTY repeatedly until the programme type
you want appears in the display.
See the following table for the programme types
you can select.
Press PRESET TUNING + or — (or TUNING /
CHARACTER + or -) 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, displays the preset
number of the preset station currently
broadcasting the selected programme type, and
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.
