Press the PTY button again.
The selected program type blinks in the display
and a search is performed.

When a program type is found, the broadcaster
ID or the name of the broadcaster blinks in the
display for 15 seconds. To search for another
program, press the PTY button again at this
time.
Performing a PTY search establishes the User
Preferred Program Type (UPPY). Unlike the UPL, only
one UPPY can be stored in memory. When the
MULTI indicator lights indicating a broadcaster
featuring different types of programs is selected, the
program corresponding to the established UPPY is
automatically selected.
Notes:
• If the selected program type is not found, “NO PGM”
appears in the display and the unit returns to the
previously received broadcaster.
• The program type information is transmitted by the
different broadcasters. Therefore, though a program of
the specified type is detected, the content of the actual
program may be different. This is not a malfunction.
• Pressing the WS button during a PTY search ends the
search and returns to the previously received broad-
caster.
