5If you want to keep listening to the station, press ENTER within the 5 seconds.

If you don’t press ENTER, searching resumes.

If NO PTY is displayed it means the tuner couldn’t find that program type at the time of the search.1

Displaying RDS information

Use the DISP button to display the different types of RDS information available.2

•Press DISP for RDS information.

Each press changes the display as follows:

•Radio Text (RT) – Messages sent by the radio station. For example, a talk radio station may provide a phone number as RT.

•Program Service Name (PS) – The name of the radio station.

•Program Type (PTY) – This indicates the kind of program currently being broadcast.

•Current tuner frequency (FREQ)

Using EON

When EON (Enhanced Other Network information) is turned on, the receiver jumps to an EON-linked broadcast when it begins, even if a receiver function other than the tuner is being used. It can’t be used in areas that EON information isn’t transmitted and when FM broadcast stations don’t transmit PTY data. When the broadcast ends, the tuner returns to the original frequency or function.
