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 13) by
specifying the PTY codes.
• To stop searching any time during the process, press PTY
SEARCH while searching.
• 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.)
To search for a program using the PTY codes
Before you start, remember...
• The PTY Search is only applicable to preset stations only.
• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is
canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.
1. Press PTY SEARCH while
listening to an FM station.
“PTY” and “ SELECT” alternate
on the display.
2. Press and hold cursor control
@ / # on the front panel (or
PTY SELECT + / – on the remote
control) until the PTY code you
want appears on the display,
while “PTY” and “SELECT” are
flashing alternately.
The display gives you the PTY codes described to the right.
3. Press PTY SEARCH again, while
the PTY code selected in the
previous step is still on the
display.
While searching, “SEARCH” and the
selected PTY code alternate on the display.
The receiver searches 30 preset FM stations,
stops when it finds the one you have
selected, and tunes in that station.
To continue searching after the first stop
Press PTY SEARCH again while the indications on the display are
flashing.
If no program is found, “NOTFOUND” appears on the display.

When an emergency broadcast (ALARM signal) is sent from an
FM station:
The receiver automatically tunes in the station except in the
following cases:
• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM — MW/LW
and some FM stations).
• When the receiver is in standby mode.
While receiving an emergency broadcast, “ALARM” appears on the
display.
The TEST signal is used for equipment test — whether it can
receive the ALARM signal correctly.
The TEST signal makes the receiver work in the same way as the
ALARM signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the receiver
automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.
While receiving the test signal, “TEST” appears on the display.
