Searching for programs by PTY codes
(PTY Search)
One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a particular kind of program by specifying the corresponding PTY code.
•The PTY Search is applicable only to the preset stations.
1 Press SEARCH when the source is FM.
2 Press PTY 
or PTY 
repeatedly to select a PTY code while “SELECT” is flashing.
Example: when “News” is selected as a PTY code
• Refer to page 36 for the PTY codes.
3 Press SEARCH.
While searching, “SEARCH” and the selected PTY codes will be displayed.
Example: when “News” is selected as a PTY code
The system searches 30 preset FM stations, and stops when it finds the one you have selected. At this time the selected frequency and PTY code flash. When “SEARCH” is pressed while the selected frequency and PTY code are flashing, the system automatically starts to find the next station. After the frequency and PTY code stop flashing or if any other operation is done, the system automatically tunes in to the station.
To stop searching, press SEARCH.
If no program is found, “NOTFOUND” appears on the display window and the system returns to the last received station.
