Programme type (PTY)
Besides the station name, some stations also
broadcast information about the type of pro-
gramme that they provide. Your car radio can
receive and display this information.
Examples of such programme types include:
CULTURE
TRAVEL
JAZZ
SPORT
NEWS
POP
ROCK
CLASSICS
You can use the PTY function to specifically
select stations that broadcast a certain type
of programme.
If you start a PTY scan and no stations are
found, this scan will continue to run in the
background. As soon as a station with the
selected programme type is received, the unit
will automatically switch from the current sta-
tion or from CD / CD-changer mode to the
station with the selected programme type.
