PTY

List

Notes

• Depending on the country/region, not all RDS functions may be available.

• RDS will not work if the signal strength is too weak, or if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting RDS data.

Setting AF and TA

1 During reception/playback, touch “AF”

or “TA” to activate either function.

When activated, the key color changes. To deactivate, touch again.

Storing RDS stations with the AF and TA setting

You can preset RDS stations along with the AF/ TA setting. If you use the BTM function, only RDS stations are stored using the same AF/TA setting. If you preset manually, you can preset both RDS and non-RDS stations with the AF/TA setting for each.

1 Set AF/TA, then store the station with BTM or

manually.

Receiving emergency announcements

With AF or TA on, emergency announcements will automatically interrupt the currently selected source.

Tip

If you adjust the volume level during a traffic announcement, that level will be stored into memory for subsequent traffic announcements, independently from the regular volume level.

AF (Alternative Frequencies)

Selects and retunes the station with the strongest signal in a network. By using this function, you can continuously listen to the same program during a long-distance drive without having to retune the same station manually.

TA (Traffic Announcement)/TP (Traffic Program)

Provides current traffic information/programs. Any information/program received will interrupt the currently selected source.

PTY (Program Types)

Displays the currently received program type. Also searches for a designated program type.

CT (Clock Time)

The CT data from the RDS transmission sets the clock.

Staying with one regional program — Regional

When the AF function is on, this unit’s factory setting restricts reception to a specific region, so you will not be switched to another regional station with a stronger frequency.

If you leave this regional program’s reception area, deactivate the regional function during FM reception. Touch “Receive Menu,” then the “Regional” box to set to “OFF.”

Note

This function does not work in the UK and in some other areas.

Local Link function (UK only)

This function enables you to select other local stations in the area, even if they are not stored on numbers.

1 During FM reception, touch “Preset List,” then

2 Within 5 seconds, touch the number of the

local station again. Repeat this procedure until the local station is received.
