Jaguar JJM 18 03 24/22 manual Programme type PTY, Priority programme type Ppty

2-6 Controls and operation

Programme type (PTY)

This has two functions:

To display current station programme type and to select a programme type and re-tune to it.

Momentarily press the PTY button to display the current station programme type. Use the tuning buttons to cycle through the available programme types, press the PTY button again to activate a search for the selected programme type. If there is a station with the correct PTY then the radio will re-tune to it. If not, the radio will indicate NO PTY and return to the current station.

Priority programme type (PPTY)

Functions as an interrupt or as a ‘PTY Following’.

Press and hold the PTY button to activate the selected priority programme

type, PPTY. The radio will now wait for RBDS information to indicate that a station has changed its programme type, i.e. to NEWS. The radio will now re-tune to the new station for the duration that it remains on that programme type.

If the current station is already on the selected priority programme type, then when this station is lost, the radio will attempt to find another with the correct programme type.

To cancel priority programme type, press and hold the PTY button, the PTY indicator will clear from the display.

Note: PPTY interrupt feature is also available in tape, CD/MD audio modes.

Priority PTY interrupt skip

Interruptions for NEWS or other selected priority PTY, can be skipped by pressing TA during the interrupt. The radio returns to the previously selected audio source.

Note:

1.Interrupt skip will not cancel activation of PPTY and it will remain ready for the next interrupt.

2.PTY and Priority PTY features are reliant upon the broadcast information from radio stations, and may be much better in some areas than others.

PTY31-Alarm (where broadcast)

When using the radio with RBDS selected, a PTY31-ALARMservice will operate, to alert on any crises of major national importance. When such a broadcast is made, ALARM will appear in the audio display.
