Changing the RDS Information
You can see RDS information on the display while
listening to an FM station.

Press DISPLAY (orange-colored).
• Each time you press the button, the
display changes to show the following
information:
PS
(Program Service)
(Program Type)
Station frequency
(or preset channel no.)
• If no PS, PTY, or RT signals are sent by a station
"NO PS," "NO PTY," or "NO RT" appears on the display.
• On the characters displayed
When the display shows PS, PTY or RT signals:
– The display shows upper case letters only.
– The display cannot show accented letters; for example,
"A" may represent accented "A's" like "Á, Â, Ã, À, Ä
and Å."
Searching for Programs by PTY Codes
(PTY Search)
One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a
particular kind of program by specifying the PTY
codes.
• For details on the PTY codes, see "Additional
Information" on page 27.
To search for a program using the PTY codes
REMEMBER you must preset FM RDS stations to use
the PTY codes. If not yet done, see pages 12 and 13.
• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If
the setting is canceled before you finish, start over
from step 1 .

While searching, "SEARCH" and the selected PTY
code alternately appear on the display.
The unit searches 30 preset FM stations, stops
when it finds the one you have selected ("FOUND"
and the selected PTY code appear), and tunes in
that station.
• If no program is found, "NOTFOUND" appears
on the display and the unit returns to the last
received station.
To stop searching any time during the process, press
PTY SEARCH while searching.
If you preset a station while PTY Search is
being carried out
PTY Search may not stop. If this happens, press PTY
