RECEIVING RDS STATIONS <U.K. and Europe models only>

Notes

•There may be a case that RDS data reception is not possible due to poor reception conditions. If so, press the AUTO/MAN’L button so that “AUTO TUNING” goes off from the display. Though the reception mode is changed to monaural by this operation, when you change the display to an RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed.

•If the signal strength gets weakened by external interference during receiving an RDS station, the RDS data service may be cut off suddenly and turn into the frequency display mode.

broadcasts a program of that program type.

* If there is no operation for about 20 seconds, this mode

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

is canceled and turns into the frequency display. If the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

station has PS data, after that, it turns into the PS

3 Press the PTY SEEK START button.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The unit begins searching all preset FM stations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* “PTY H” (abbrev. of PTY HOLD) lights up on the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* The preset number indicator, the name of the program

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

type and “AUTO TUNING” flash. The preset number

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

changes rapidly in sequence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

•

If a station which broadcasts a program of the program

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

type is found, the unit stops at the station and turns into the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

frequency display. If the station has PS data, after that, it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

turns into the PS mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

•

If the called station is not the desired one, press the PTY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SEEK START button once more before “PTY H” goes out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

from the display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The unit begins searching for another station which

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

broadcasts a program of the same program type.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

•

If no station is found, “NO PTY” appears and then returns

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to frequency display. If the station has PS data, after that,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it turns into the PS mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* If the PTY SEEK START button is pressed once more

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

during searching, this mode is canceled and turns into

the frequency display. If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the PS mode.

To cancel this function

If the PTY SEEK MODE button is pressed once more, the PTY SEEK mode is canceled and turns into the frequency display. If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the PS mode.
