Radio Tuning
PROGRAMME TYPE (PTY)
Some radio stations broadcasting on the FM waveband provide
programme type (PTY) information that can be received by the
radio tuner. Using the PTY feature, radio broadcasts of a particular
programme type can be selected.
PTY Programme types
Switching PTY on and off
To switch programme type on (‘PTY ON’) or off (‘PTY OFF’),
see ‘MENU CONTROL FUNCTIONS’, page 110. When PTY
is selected the ‘PTY’ indicator will illuminate in the lower part of
the display.
The language in which the programme type is displayed can
be set to either English, French or German by using the MENU
button (see ‘PTY LANG’ in ‘MENU CONTROL
FUNCTIONS’, page 110).
Selecting a programme type
1. With PTY switched on, repeatedly press one of the
controls, or briefly press a pre-set button until the desired
programme type is displayed (see accompanying table).
2. Press one of the controls. The radio will search for (and
then tune to) the next radio station on the waveband
broadcasting the desired programme type. During the search,
the display will alternately show ‘SEARCH’ and the
programme type.
If no station of the desired programme type can be found, the
display will briefly show ‘NO PTY’ and then return to the
previously tuned station. However, if the tuned radio station, or
another station on the same broadcasting network, later broadcasts
a programme of the desired programme type, the radio will
automatically switch to this broadcast (even during tape or CD
play).
Storing PTY programmes on the pre-set buttons
With the desired programme type selected, press and hold one of
the pre-set buttons. The programme type is then stored on the
pre-set button.
