Receiver Operations
Turn off the EON feature when you want to record a programme without interruptions, especially when you want to do timer recording.
Notes
•To use this function, be sure to store the RDS stations beforehand.
•When the selected station has a weak signal, “WEAK SIG” appears and then, the receiver returns to the previous station or programme source.
Locating a station by programme type (PTY)
You can locate a station you want by selecting a programme type. The receiver tunes in the type of programmes currently being broadcast from the RDS stations stored in the receiver's preset memory.
1Press RDS PTY to display the current PTY type. Press PRESET/PTY SELECT + or – until the programme type you want appears in the display. See the following table for the programme types you can select.
2Press RDS PTY while the programme type appears in the display.
The tuner starts searching the preset RDS stations for the programme (“SEARCH” and the programme type are displayed alternately). When the receiver finds the programme you are looking for, it stops searching. The preset number of the preset station currently broadcasting the selected programme type flashes, and the receiver receives the station.
Note
“NO PTY” appears when the programme type that you've selected is not being broadcast and the receiver returns to the original station.
