Blaupunkt Tokyo RDM 169 PTY priority, Radio operation with RDS Radio Data System

Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

PTY priority

Situation:

PTY is switched on and lights up in the dis- play.

No station offering the selected program type can be found currently in your recep- tion range (with seek tuning or scan).

The set will switch back to the station previ- ously 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:

-Station playing: #1.

-“PTY” lights up in the display.

-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 #1.

-#2 airs a “PTY-POP” program.

-The radio will switch to the linked sta- tion #2 for the duration of the “POP” program.

During CD operation, the set will also switch to the program offering the selected PTY within the broadcasting network.

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

Note:

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