Operating the tuner

•If you selected a specific program type (PTY, e.g. news, sports, classic, etc.) in the "PROG TYP" menu, the tuner automatically searches the next station broadcasting this program type in the selected direction. For this purpose, the station must be broadcasting the corresponding PTY identification as RDS service.

•If you activated the automatic change to alternative frequencies in the "RDS" menu, the tuner searches for the same station on a different frequency.

•If you selected the "PTY OFF" option in the "PROG TYP" menu and deactivated the automatic change to alternative frequencies in the "RDS" menu, you can manually adjust the tuner in increments of 200 kHz.

As soon as a station has been located, it is played. The station name appears on the main line A after a few seconds if the station provides this RDS information.

You can now store this station (see page 25) or restart the manual station seek tuning.
