Audio System (A Type)
After your desired PTY is displayed,
press either side of the SEEK/SKIP
bar again within 5 seconds. The
system will go into the PTY search
mode and it will search for a station
of the selected PTY. If there is no
station available in the selected PTY,
''NO PTY'' is displayed for about 5
seconds and the PTY search mode is
cancelled.
Some stations may broadcast the
programs with contents are different
from their PTY code.
In the PTY search mode, the tuning
step is set to 50 kHz while searching
the FM band. This step changes to
100 kHz when the AF or TA function
is activated.

Comfort and Convenience Features
PTY/News Interrupt Function
To activate this function, press the
TA/RDS button for more than two
seconds and select ''NEWS.'' The
system will hold the last tuned FM
station/network PTY while you are
listening to the CD or tape. With this
function on, playing CD or tape is
interrupted and the system switches
from CD or tape mode to the FM
newscast when the newscast is
broadcasting from the FM station.
When the program is changed to
another program or the frequency
cannot be received for 10 seconds
due to weak signal, the system will
return to the CD or tape mode
automatically.
Your audio system has other
interrupt functions (including TA
function). The interrupt function
first activated has priority over the
others and the indication of the other
interrupt function goes out. To
activate the other interrupt function,
turn off the currently activated
interrupt function.
PTY Alarm
PTY code ''ALARM'' is used for
emergency announcements, such as
natural disasters. When this code is
received, ''ALARM'' goes on the
display and the volume is changed.
When the alarm is cancelled, the
system will return to the normal
operation mode.
