Using PTY Standby Reception

PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY:
Programme Type) from any source except AM
stations
Operations are exactly the same as explained
on pages 17 and 18 for FM RDS stations. You
cannot use PTY Standby Reception separately
for the DAB tuner and for the FM tuner.
PTY Standby Reception works for the DAB
tuner only using a Dynamic PTY, but not a
Static PTY.
To select your favorite PTY code for PTY
Standby Reception, see page 17.
To set PTY Standby Reception, see pages 17
and 18.
You can set PTY Standby Reception when the
source is either FM or DAB.

Searching your favorite service

You can search any one of the PTY codes (either
Dynamic or Static PTY).
In addition, you can store your 6 favorite
programme types in the number buttons (see
page 18).
Operations are exactly the same as explained
on pages 18 and 19 for FM RDS stations.
However, you cannot store PTY codes in the
number buttons separately for the DAB tuner
and for the FM tuner.
To store your favorite programme (service)
types, see pages 18 and 19.
To search your favorite programme (service)
type, see page 19.
Search will be performed on the DAB tuner
