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 40 and 41) by specifying the PTY codes.

To search for a program using the PTY codes

Before you start, remember...

There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.

1Press PTY SEARCH while listening to an FM station.

“PTY SELECT” flashes on the display.

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.

To continue searching after the first stop

Press PTY SEARCH again while the indications on the display are flashing.
