Searching for a Program by PTY Codes

One of the advantages of the RDS service is that you can locate a
particular kind of program from the preset channels (see page 19) by
specifying the PTY codes.

To search for a program using the PTY codes

Before you start, remember...
• The PTY Search is only applicable to preset stations.
• To stop searching any time during the process, press PTY

SEARCH while searching.

• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is

canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.

• When pressing the buttons on the remote control, make sure that

you have selected the FM station using the remote control. If not,
the RDS operation buttons do not work for RDS operation.
(Pressing FM/AM activates the remote control for RDS
operation.)

On the front panel:

1. Press PTY SEARCH while

listening to an FM station.

“PTY SELECT” flashes on the display.

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to
Receive FM Stations

RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their
regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station
names, as well as information about what type of program they
broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the
RDS indicator lights up on the display.

With the receiver, you can receive the following types of RDS
signals.

PS (Program Service): Shows commonly known station names

PTY (Program Type): Shows types of broadcast programs

RT (Radio Text):

Shows text messages the station sends

EON (Enhanced Other Network): See page 23.

Notes:

• RDS is not available for AM (MW/LW) broadcasts.
• RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not

transmitting RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

What information can RDS signals provide?

You can see the RDS signals the station sends on the display.

To show the RDS signals
Press DISPLAY MODE while listening to an FM station.

• Each time you press the button, the display changes to show you

the following information:

PS (Program Service):
While searching, “PS” appears and then the station names will be
displayed. “NO PS” appears if no signal is sent.

PTY (Program Type):
While searching, “PTY” appears and then the type of the broadcast
program will be displayed. “NO PTY” appears if no signal is sent.

RT (Radio Text):
While searching, “RT” appears and then text messages the station
sends will be displayed. “NO RT” appears if no signal is sent.

Frequency:
Station frequency (non-RDS service)

Notes:

• When pressing DISPLAY MODE on the remote control, make sure

that you have selected FM station using the remote control. If not,
the DISPLAY MODE button does not work for tuner operation.
(Pressing FM/AM activates the remote control for tuner operation.)

• If searching finishes at once, “PS,” “PTY,” and “RT” will not appear

on the display.
