tion, and acceptable signal strength for quality

display, the tuner will make up to one complete
scan of the entire FM band for the next station
that matches the desired PTY type and has
acceptable reception quality. If no such station
is found, the display will read NONE for some
seconds and the tuner will return to the last FM
station in use before the search.
NOTE: Many stations do not transmit a specific
PTY. The display will show NONE, when such a
station is selected and PTY is active.
NOTE: Some stations transmit constant traffic
information. To identify as traffic station, they
transmit a specific traffic code constantly, which
causes the TA Indicator AA to light in the dis-
play. These stations can be found by selecting
TRAFFIC, the option in front of NEWS in the list.
The AVR5000 RDS will find the appropriate sta-
tion, even if it is not broadcasting traffic infor-
mation when the search is made.
