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 25.
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 page 12.
•There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start over from step 1.
On the remote control ONLY:
•If no PS, PTY, or RT signals are sent by a station
“NO PS,” “NO PTY,” or “NO RT” appears on the display.
•On the characters displayed
When the display shows PS, PTY or RT signals:
–The display shows upper case letters only.
–The display cannot show accented letters; for example, “A” may represent accented “A’s” like “Á, Â, Ã, À, Ä and Å.”
