Using RDS
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). With RDS, the radio can do
the following:
Seek only to stations with the types of programs you
want to listen to,
seek to stations with traffic announcements,
receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies, and
receive and display messages from radio stations.
RDS features are only available for use on FM stations
which broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of
your radio rely upon receiving specific RDS information
from these stations. These features will only work when
the RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio
station may broadcast incorrect information that will
cause the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, contact the radio station.
When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station
name will appear on the display, instead of the
frequency. Most RDS stations provide their station
name, the time of day and a Program Type (PTY) for
their current programming.
Finding a PTY Station
P
-TYP (Program Type): This button is used to turn
on and off Program Type (PTY) select. The P
-TYPE
symbol will appear on the display and the SELECT
LED indicator next to the P
-TYP button will light.
The last selected PTY will appear on the display for five
seconds. Turn the AUDIO knob to select the PTY you
want to listen to. Press the SEEK arrows to find radio
stations of the PTY you want to listen to. The last PTY
selected will be used for seek. If a station with the
selected PTY is not found, NOT FOUND will appear on
the display. If both P
-TYP and TRAF are on, the radio
will search for stations with traffic announcements and
the selected PTY.
To use the PTY interrupt feature, press and hold this
button until you hear a beep on the PTY you want to
interrupt. An asterisk will appear next to the PTY name,
example CLASSICAL*. When you are listening to a
CD, the last selected RDS FM station will interrupt play
if that selected PTY format is broadcast.
