Programme Type (PTY) Function
In addition to the station name, some FM stations broadcast the genre of the programme they are transmitting.
This radio is able to receive and display this information.
Examples of genres:
CULTURE, TRAVEL, JAZZ, SPORT, NEWS, POP, ROCK, CLASSICS.
The PTY function can be used to select programmes of a specific genre.
PTY-EON Mode If the desired programme genre is set and the scan process is started, the radio will switch from the current station to a station broadcasting a programme of the selected genre.
• If the radio tuner cannot find any station matching the selected genre, “NO PTY” appears on the display. The radio then tunes back to the last station listened to.
• If the current station or another station in the radio network starts broadcasting a programme of the selected genre a little later, the radio switches to it as soon as the programme starts, from the station currently playing or from CD/MP3* or CD changer playback.
