PTY Search
The unit can search for a station broadcasting your desired PTY easily. To do so, you need to preset every available station in advance since the unit searches only the preset stations.
1Press RDS repeatedly until the program type of the currentry tuned station is displayed.
2Press for gto select a desired program type and then press ENTER on the remote.
The search begins, stops when a suitable station is detected, and the unit tunes it in.
"NOT FOUND" is displayed if a suitable station is not found, and the unit returns to the previous station.
If there is no button input for 6 seconds in step 2, the search is not activated.
Tip:
If TRAFFIC is selected , the unit searches for a station which regularly broadcasts traffic announcements. Therefore, a detected station may not be currently broadcasting traffic announcements. You will, however, be able to hear the announcements in a while.
INFO Search
The unit can leap to a station which has just started broadcasting your desired PTY.
In INFO Search, the unit is in standby mode until the desired PTY begins. As soon as it begins, the unit "leaps to" another station with the PTY and returns to the previously tuned station when it ends. INFO Search makes the function above possible with the help of INFO which gives the receivers a cross reference to other stations. You need to preset every available station in advance since the unit searches only the preset stations.
1Tune in an RDS station.
If "INFO" lights up, proceed to the next step.
If not, try to tune in another RDS station until it does.
2Press RDS repeatedly so that "INFO PTY" is displayed.
3Press for gto select a desired program type and then press ENTER on the remote. "INFO ON" is displayed for 2 seconds and then the unit enters the standby mode while "INFO" flashes. When the unit leaps to another station, "INFO" flashes rapidly. If there is no button input for 6 seconds in step 3, the search is not activated.
