Using PTY Standby Reception
PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to your favourite programme (PTY:
Programme Type) from the current source (another
FM station, tape or other connected components).
PTY Standby Reception will not work if you are
listening to an AM station.
You can select your favourite programme type for
PTY Standby Reception.
When shipped from the factory, PTY Standby
Reception is turned off. (“OFF” is selected for PTY
Standby Reception.)
1
Press and hold SEL (select) for more
than 2 seconds so that one of the
PSM items appears on the display.
(PSM: see page 26.)
2

Select “PTY STBY (standby)” if not

shown on the display.

3

Select one of the twenty-nine PTY

codes. (See page 18.)

Selected code name
appears on the display
and is stored into
memory.
To cancel the PTY
Standby Reception,
select “OFF.”
4
Finish the setting.
7When the current source is FM, the
PTY indicator either lights up or flashes.
If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY
Standby Reception is activated.
If a station starts broadcasting the
selected PTY programme, this unit
automatically tunes in to the station.
If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY
Standby Reception is not yet activated
since the station being received does
not provide the signals used for PTY
Standby Reception.
To activate PTY Standby Reception,
you need to tune in to another station
providing these signals.
Press ¢ or 4 to search for
such a station.
When a station providing these signals
is tuned in, the PTY indicator stops
flashing and remains lit. Now PTY
Standby Reception is activated.
7When the current source is other than
FM, the PTY indicator lights up.
If a station starts broadcasting the
selected PTY programme, this unit
automatically changes the source and
tunes in to the station.
To deactivate the PTY Standby Reception,
select “OFF” in step 3 on the left column. The
PTY indicator disappears.
