Searching for RDS programs
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 above.
1 Press TUNER to select the FM band.
! RDS is only possible in the FM band.
2 Press PTY.
PTY SEARCH shows in the display.
3 Press PRESET +/– to select the program type you want to hear.
4 Press ENTER to search for the program type.
The system starts searching through all frequencies for a match. When it finds one, the search stops and the
station plays for five seconds.
5 If you want to keep listening to the station, press ENTER within the five 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.
! RDS searches all frequencies. If the program type could not be found among all the frequencies, NO PTY is
displayed.
Displaying RDS information
Use the DISP button to display the different types of RDS information available.
! If any noise is picked up while displaying the RT scroll, some characters may be displayed incorrectly.
! If you see NO RT DATA in the RT display, it means no RT data is sent from the broadcast station.
! If you see NO PS DATA in the PS display, it means no PS data can be received.
! If you see NO PTY DATA in the PTY display, it means no PTY data can be received.
% Press DISP for RDS information.
Each press changes the display as follows:
! Radio Text (RT) – Messages sent by the radio station. For example, a talk radio station may provide a phone
number as RT.
! Program Service Name (PS) – The name of the radio station.
! Program Type (PTY) – This indicates the kind of program currently being broadcast.
! Current tuner frequency.
