Searching for RDS programs (European model only)
One of the most useful features of RDS is the ability to search for a particular kind of radio program. You can search
for any of the program types (listed on page 61).
1 Tune into an FM station.
Refer to “Automatic and Manual Tuning” or “Direct
Access Tuning” on pages 56 and 57.
2 Use the BAND button to select the FM
band.
RDS is only broadcast on FM.
3 Press the CHARACTER/SEARCH
button.
SEARCH shows in the display.
4 Press the +/–buttons or use the
MULTI JOG dial to select the program
type you want to hear.
5 Press ENTER to search for the
program type.
The system starts searching through the station presets
for a match. When it finds one, the search stops and the
station plays for five seconds.
6 If you want to keep listening to the
station, press ENTER within the 5
seconds.
If you don’t press ENTER, searching resumes.
If NO PTY is displayed it means the tuner couldn’t find
that program type at the time of the search.
Memo:
•
RDS searches memorized stations only. If no stations
have been (see page 58 to do this), NO PTY is dis-
played.
• FINISH means the search is complete.
