Using the tuner
1 Press SEARCH.
2 Use the (cursor left/right) buttons to select
the program type you want to hear.
3 Press ENTER to search for the program type.
The tuner searches through the FM stations stored in the
station memories.
If the tuner finds a matching program type, the tuner
plays 5 seconds of the station. To listen to that station,
press the ENTER button. (The tuner stops searching.)
If you don't press the ENTER button during the above
mentioned 5 seconds, the tuner resumes the search.
When the tuner finds a program type you searched for,
the frequency display will blink for about 5 seconds and
then the display will show FINISH briefly.
If NO PTY is displayed it means the tuner couldn't find
that program type at the time of the search.
Note
• This function searches RDS stations preset in the 30-
station memory. If there are no station presets, or if
the program type could not be found among the
station presets NO PTY is displayed.

Enhanced Other Network (EON)

EON (Enhanced Other Network information) allows you
to set the receiver to switch automatically to a news or
traffic information broadcast. Once set, the receiver will
scan for stations transmitting news or traffic
announcements even when it's in a different input
function (DVD, for example). When the broadcast ends,
the tuner returns to the original frequency or input
function.
EON can only be used in areas where EON data is
transmitted, and it only works with FM broadcast stations
that transmit RDS program type (PTY) information.
The EON indicator lights when EON is set. The dot
indicator to the left lights when the current broadcast
carries the EON data service.

PI codes.
