PTY seek tuning

The seek tuning function can be used to find the PTY stations for the program type se- lected.

Important: PTY is switched on and you have selected the program type.

Starting seek tuning:

•Press / on the rocker switch.

Seek tuning will stop at a PTY station broad- casting the selected program type.

If no station offering the selected program type can be found currently in your recep- tion range, the set will switch back to the station you were previously tuned into.

As soon as it is possible to receive a pro- gram in the broadcasting network with the PTY selected, the radio will switch over to the corresponding station for the duration of the program.

Example:

German broadcasting network NDR:

-Station playing: NDR3.

-“PTY” is switched on.

-Program type “POP” selected.

-Seek tuning is started.

-No station with “PTY-POP” can be found.

-The display shows “No PTY” and

-automatically switches back to NDR3.

-NDR2 airs a “PTY-POP” program.

-The radio will switch to the linked sta- tion NDR2 for the duration of the “POP” program.

During tape deck and CD changer opera- tion, the set will also switch to the program offering the selected PTY within the broad- casting network.

After the PTY program has ended the sys- tem will switch back to the previous mode (radio, tape deck or CD changer).

Use STOP to return to the previous station immediately. Press PTY to switch the PTY function off.

Note:

As already mentioned, these functions are not supported by all of the RDS stations at the present time.

Radio text

This is an RDS function which allows radio stations to transmit texts.

The text information is displayed in the top line of the display.

Depending on the radio station, these texts can have different contents, e.g. news briefs, program guide, advertising.

It is not possible to read radio text messag- es unless the ignition connection is deacti- vated or the ignition is switched off.

For safety’s sake, we strongly re- commend that you do not activate radio text while you are driving.
