Searching for Programs by PTY Codes (PTY

One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a
particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.
• The PTY Search is applicable only to preset stations.
• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the
setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1
again.
To search for a program using the PTY codes, use the
remote control:
1
Press RDS CONTROL while listening to an FM
station.
2
Press PTY SEARCH.
"PTY SELECT" flashes in the main display.

Press PTY SELECT – / + to select a PTY code while
"PTY SELECT" is flashing.
Each time you press the button, the PTY codes change
as follows (refer also to the list on page 18):

SPORT " EDUCATE " DRAMA " CULTURE "

While searching, "SEARCH" and the selected PTY
code alternate on the display.
The unit searches 30 preset FM stations, stops when it
finds the one you have selected, and tunes in that
station.

flashing.
If no program is found, "NOT FOUND" appears on the display
and the unit returns to the last received station.
To stop searching any time during the process:
