Scanning preset stations by

program type

You can tune in preset stations according to a

program type that you specify. The receiver

scans for stations in its preset memory currently

broadcasting the specified program type.

PRESET/PTY SELECT – to select the

program type.

See the table below for the information on

each program type.

While the receiver is scanning stations,

“SEARCH” and the programme type are

displayed alternately.

When the receiver finds a station, the

receiver stops scanning. When the receiver

could not find any preset stations currently

broadcasting the specified program type,

“NO PTY” appears in the display.

Using the Radio Data

System (RDS)

(Models of area code CEL, CEK only)

This receiver also allows you to use RDS

(Radio Data System), which enables radio

stations to send additional information along

with the regular program signal. You can use

the following convenient RDS features:

– Displaying RDS information

– Scanning preset stations by program type

Note that RDS is operable only for FM

stations.*

* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do

they provide the same types of services. If you are

not familiar with the RDS services in your area,

check with your local radio stations for details.

Receiving RDS broadcasts

Simply select a station on the FM band

using direct tuning (page 31), automatic

tuning (page 32), or preset tuning

(page 32).

When you tune in a station that provides RDS

services, the RDS indicator lights up and the

program station name normally appears in the

display.

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned

to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the

signal strength is weak.

Displaying RDS information

While receiving an RDS station, press

DISPLAY.

Each time you press the button, RDS

information on the display changes cyclically

as follows:

Program Station name t Frequency t

Program Type indication

24-hour system) t Sound field currectly
