Searching for a program by PTY codes
One of the advantages of the RDS service is that you can locate a particular kind of program from the preset channels (see pages 32 and 33) by specifying the PTY codes.

2While “PTY SELECT” is flashing, press PTY 9 or ( PTY until the PTY code you want appears on the display.
3Press PTY SEARCH again, while the PTY code selected in the previous step is still on the display.
While searching, “SEARCH” and the selected PTY code alternatively appears on the display.
The receiver searches 30 preset FM stations, stops when it finds the one you have selected, and tunes in to that station.
•To stop searching any time, press PTY SEARCH while searching.
•If no program is found, “NOT FOUND” appears on the display.
