iPTY information
What is RDS?
RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for providing information along with FM broadcasts.
This inaudible information provides such features as program service name, program type,
traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning
and program type tuning, intended to aid radio
listeners in finding and tuning in to a desired
station.
Note:
• RDS service may not be provided by all stations.
• RDS functions like AF (alternative frequencies
search) and TA (traffic announcement standby) are
only available when your radio is tuned in to an RDS
station.
Displaying the frequency of an
RDS station
When you tune in to an RDS station, its program service name is displayed. If you want to
know the frequency, perform the following
steps.
• Press DISP to change the frequency (or
PTY information) display.
Press DISP repeatedly to switch between
the following displays:

Note:
• After switching displays, if you do not perform an
operation within eight seconds, the display automatically returns to the program service name.
• The PTY (program type ID code) information is correlated with the list in the section “PTY List” on
page 19.

Using alternative frequency (AF)
If you are listening to a broadcast and the
reception becomes weak or there are other
problems, this product will automatically search
for a different station in the same network which
is broadcasting a stronger signal.
1. Press FUNC and then press AF to select
the AF mode.
2. Press AF to turn the AF function on.
The light illuminates.
• Press AF again to turn the AF function off.
• When the AF mode is exited while AF is
on, “AF” appears on the basic display.
Note:
• AF tunes the receiver only to RDS stations when
you use seek tuning or BSM auto memory with the
AF function on.
• When you recall a preset station, the tuner may
update the preset station with a new frequency from
the station’s AF list. (This is only available when
using presets on the FM-1 and FM-2 bands.) No
preset number appears on the display if the RDS
data for the station received differs from the data
for the originally stored station.
• Sound may be temporarily interrupted by another
program during an AF frequency search.
• When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station, the
“AF” indicator flashes.
• The AF function can be turned on or off indepen-
dently for each FM band.
Using the PI seek function
The tuner searches for another frequency
