3Press ENTER to search for the program type.

The tuner searches through the FM stations stored in the station memories.

If the tuner finds a matching program type, the tuner plays 5 seconds of the station. To listen to that station, press the ENTER button. (The tuner stops searching.)

If you don’t press the ENTER button during the above mentioned 5 seconds, the tuner resumes the search.

When the tuner finds a program type you searched for, the frequency display will blink for about 5 seconds and then the display will show FINISH briefly.

If NO PTY is displayed it means the tuner couldn’t find that program type at the time of the search.

•This function searches RDS stations preset in the 30- station memory. If there are no station presets, or if the program type could not be found among the station presets NO PTY is displayed.

Enhanced Other Network (EON)

EON (Enhanced Other Network information) allows you to set the receiver to switch automatically to a news or traffic information broadcast. Once set, the receiver will scan for stations transmitting news or traffic announcements even when it’s in a different input function (DVD, for example). When the broadcast ends, the tuner returns to the original frequency or input function.

EON can only be used in areas where EON data is transmitted, and it only works with FM broadcast stations that transmit RDS program type (PTY) information.

The EON indicator lights when EON is set. The dot indicator to the left lights when the current broadcast carries the EON data service.
