Searching for RDS programs
One of the most useful features of RDS is the ability to search for a particular kind of radio program. You can
search for any of the program types listed above.
1 Press TUNER to select the FM band.
! RDS is only possible in the FM band.
2 Press PTY.
PTY SEARCH shows in the display.
3 Press PRESET +/– to select the program type you want to hear.
4 Press ENTER to search for the program type.
The system starts searching through all frequencies for a match. When it finds one, the search stops and the
station plays for five seconds.
5 If you want to keep listening to the station, press ENTER within the five seconds.
If you don’t press ENTER, searching resumes.
If NO PTY is displayed it means the tuner couldn’t find that program type at the time of the search.
! RDS searches all frequencies. If the program type could not be found among all the frequencies, NO PTY is
displayed.
