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 SEARCH.
PTY SEARCH shows in the display.
3  Press PRESET k/l to select the 
program type you want to hear.
4  Press ENTER to search for the program 
type.
The system starts searching through all fre-
quencies 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.
Displaying RDS information
Use the DISP button to display the different 
types of RDS information available.
!  If any noise is picked up while displaying the 
RT scroll, some characters may be displayed 
incorrectly.

means no PTY data can be received.

provide a phone number as RT.

by using a commercially available transmit-
ter supporting Bluetooth wireless technol-
ogy, you can listen to music on a device not 
equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology. 
The AS-BT100 and AS-BT200 models supports

be enjoyed on devices equipped with SCMS-T 
type Bluetooth wireless technology.
