Using the RDS Functions
PTY Function
With Wide and Narrow classification of program type, the PTY function provides two ways
to select stations by the type of program being broadcast (PTY Search). It also provides auto-
matic tuning to emergency broadcasts (PTY Alarm).

5. Select one from among the PTY by moving the joystick up/down.
You can select “NARROW” classification of program type within the selected

The tuner searches for a station broadcasting the

played for about 2 seconds, and the tuner returns to the original station.
