Searching for Programs by PTY Codes (PTY Search)
One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.
•For details on the PTY codes, see “Additional Information” on page 27.
To search for a program using the PTY codes
REMEMBER you must preset FM RDS stations to use the PTY codes. If not yet done, see pages 12 and 13.
•There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start over from step 1.
3Press PTY SEARCH once again.
While searching, “SEARCH” and the selected PTY code alternately appear on the display.
The unit searches 30 preset FM stations, stops when it finds the one you have selected (“FOUND” and the selected PTY code appear), and tunes in that station.
•If no program is found, “NOTFOUND” appears on the display and the unit returns to the last received station.
To stop searching any time during the process, press
PTY SEARCH while searching.
If you preset a station while PTY Search is being carried out
PTY Search may not stop. If this happens, press PTY SEARCH to stop searching manually.
