PTY seek tuning
The seek tuning function can be used to find
the PTY stations for the program type se-
lected.
Important: PTY is switched on and you have
selected the program type.
Starting seek tuning:
•
Press / on the rocker switch.
Seek tuning will stop at a PTY station broad-
casting the selected program type.
If no station offering the selected program
type can be found currently in your recep-
tion range, the set will switch back to the
station you were previously tuned into.
As soon as it is possible to receive a pro-
gram in the broadcasting network with the
PTY selected, the radio will switch over to
the corresponding station for the duration
of the program.
Example:
German broadcasting network NDR:
- Station playing: NDR3.
- “PTY” is switched on.
- Program type “POP” selected.
- Seek tuning is started.
- No station with “PTY-POP” can be
found.
- The display shows “No PTY” and
- automatically switches back to NDR3.
- NDR2 airs a “PTY-POP” program.
- The radio will switch to the linked sta-
tion NDR2 for the duration of the
“POP” program.
During tape deck and CD changer opera-
tion, the set will also switch to the program
offering the selected PTY within the broad-
casting network.
After the PTY program has ended the sys-
tem will switch back to the previous mode
(radio, tape deck or CD changer).
Use STOP to return to the previous station
immediately. Press PTY to switch the PTY
function off.
Note:
As already mentioned, these functions are
not supported by all of the RDS stations at
the present time.
Radio text
This is an RDS function which allows radio
stations to transmit texts.
The text information is displayed in the top
line of the display.
Depending on the radio station, these texts
can have different contents, e.g. news briefs,
program guide, advertising.
It is not possible to read radio text messag-
es unless the ignition connection is deacti-
vated or the ignition is switched off.
For safety’s sake, we strongly re-
commend that you do not activate
radio text while you are driving.
