PTY (Program type)
A number of RDS stations can be selected by the type of program they broadcast, i.e. news, sport or classical music.
Press and hold the PTY button to cause the tuner to switch to RDS PTY type tuning. If at any time you wish to return to normal tuning mode, press and hold again.
When you have entered PTY mode, the display will show “PTY” indicating that the mode is enabled, and the name of the first program type, “NEWS.”
To view other PTY categories, use the UP/DOWN buttons (a list of these categories is shown on the next page). To select the category, highlight it and press SELECT. If there is no station found in that category, the display will show “NONE PTY” and the radio will return to normal mode.
