Using PTY Standby Reception
PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY:
Programme Type) from the current source
(another FM station, CD, or other connected
components).
• PTY Standby Reception will not work if you are
listening to an AM station.
You can select your favorite programme type for
PTY Standby Reception.
When shipped from the factory, PTY Standby
Reception is turned off. (“OFF” is selected for
PTY Standby Reception.)

When the current source is FM,
the PTY
indicator either lights up or flashes.
• If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY Standby
Reception is activated.
If a station starts broadcasting the selected
PTY programme, this unit automatically
tunes in to the station.
• If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby
Reception is not yet activated since the
station being received does not provide the
signals used for PTY Standby Reception.
To activate PTY Standby Reception, you
need to tune in to another station providing
these signals. Press
¢
or
4
to
search for such a station.
When a station providing these signals is
tuned in, the PTY indicator stops flashing
and remains lit. Now PTY Standby Reception
is activated.
7
When the current source is other than FM,
the PTY indicator lights up.
If a station starts broadcasting the selected
PTY programme, this unit automatically
changes the source and tunes in to the station.
To deactivate the PTY Standby Reception,
select “OFF” in step
3
on the left column. The
PTY indicator disappears.
