Programme type (PTY)
Besides transmitting the station name,
some FM stations also provide infor-
mation on the type of programme that
they are broadcasting. Your car radio
can receive and display this informa-
tion.
For example, the programme types
can be:
CULTURE
TRAVEL
JAZZ
SPORT
NEWS
POP
ROCK
CLASSICS
You can use the PTY function to se-
lect stations of a particular programme
type.
PTY-EON
If you specify the programme type and
start seek tuning, the radio will switch
from the current station to a station of
the selected programme type.
Note:
●
If the tuner does not find a station
that corresponds to the selected
programme type, you will hear a
beep and “NO PTY” appears brief-
ly in the display. The radio will
then retune to the station that it
received last.
●
If the tuned radio station or anoth-
er station on the broadcasting net-
work broadcasts your selected
programme type at a later point in
time, the radio will automatically
switch from the currently tuned
station or from CD mode, MP3
mode or CD-changer mode to the
station whose programme type
matches the one you selected.
