News Bulletin Function with PTY News Timeout Setting

You can arrange to have news bulletins interrupt your current listening source, including other radio stations. When the News Bulletin function is on, the PTY News Timeout setting allows you to set the interval during which further news interruption cannot take place. You can adjust the PTY news interruption period from 10 to 90 minutes for each journey.

Display and setting:

“News OFF” (Default setting) , “News 00min” - “News 90min”

(min= minutes)

:When you select the news interruption timeout interval, the News function turns on and the NEWS indicator lights up. When a news bulletin is received, "NEWS" will be displayed and reception will begin at the preset volume.

NOTE

If you choose the "20min" setting, further news bulletins will not be received for 20 minutes once the first news bulletin is received.

This function is only available if the desired station sends PTY- code for news bulletin or belongs to <Enhanced Other Network>-Network sending PTY-code for news bulletin.

If you turn on the news bulletin function in the MW/LW band, the band is switched automatically to the FM band. However, the MW/LW band is not returned to when you turn off the function.

With the local seek function turned on, auto seek tuning skips stations with relatively poor reception.

Display and setting:

"Local.S ON" : The local seek function is on.

"Local.S OFF" : The local seek function is off. (Default setting)

Selecting Tuning Mode <In Tuner mode>

You can choose from three tuning modes: auto seek, preset station seek, and manual. The "AUTO 1" indicator lights up when auto seek tuning is selected, and the "AUTO 2" indicator lights when preset station seek tuning is selected.

Display and setting:

"Auto 1" : Auto seek tuning mode (Default setting)

"Auto 2" : Preset station seek tuning mode

"Manual" : Manual tuning mode

Auto Memory Entry <In Tuner mode>

You can automatically store all the receivable frequencies in the band currently being listened to, and then recall them with the touch of a button later.
