PTY Standby Reception
Press PTY to activate PTY Standby Reception.
The PTY indicator either lights up or flashes on the display. (See below)
• If you press the button while listening to an FM RDS station supporting
PTY signals, the PTY indicator lights up, and the PTY code name (see
“To select your favorite program for PTY Standby Reception” below) flashes
for 5 seconds. This receiver now stands by for the selected PTY signal
reception.
• If you press the button while listening to an FM RDS station NOT
supporting PTY signals, the PTY indicator flashes, and the PTY code
name also flashes for 5 seconds.
In this case, this receiver cannot stand by for PTY signal reception.
To use PTY Standby Reception, tune into a station supporting PTY signals
by pressing
¢ or 4 . “SEARCH” (or “LOCAL SEARCH”: see
page 6) appears on the display, and the unit searches for a station
supporting PTY signals. When a station supporting the signal is tuned in,
the PTY indicator is lit. NOW this receiver stands by for the selected PTY
signal reception.
• If you press the button while listening to any other source than AM;
This unit starts searching for an FM station supporting PTY signal in the
background — without affecting your listening to the source currently
selected. (During this background search, the PTY indicator flashes.)
– The PTY indicator stops flashing and remains lit when an FM station
supporting PTY signal is tuned in the background. This receiver now
stands by for the PTY signal reception.
– The PTY indicator keeps flashing when an FM station supporting PTY
signal is NOT tuned in the background. In this case, this receiver cannot
stand by for PTY signal reception.
How PTY Standby Reception works:
If a program of the selected PTY starts broadcasting while the PTY Standby Reception is
activated, the selected PTY name appears and the unit tunes into the station broadcasting
the program. The program of the selected PTY can be heard.
To deactivate PTY Standby Reception, press PTY again.
Each time you press the button, PTY Standby Reception turns on and off.
