To use the PTY interrupt feature, press and hold PROG
TYPE until you hear a beep on the PTY you want to
interrupt. An asterisk will appear next to the PTY name,
for example (CLASSICAL*). The radio will also
display brackets around the PTY when the PTY
interrupt is active. To disable the PTY interrupt, select
the interrupt format and press and hold the PROG TYPE
button until you hear a beep. The asterisk will be
removed from the display and so will the brackets.
When you are listening to a compact disc, the last
selected RDS FM station will interrupt play if that
selected PTY format is broadcast.
AM FM (Alternate Frequency): Alternate frequency
allows the radio to switch to a stronger station with the
same programming. Press and hold AM FM for two
seconds to turn alternate frequency on. AF ON will
appear on the display. The radio may switch to stronger
stations. Press and hold AM FM again for two seconds
to turn alternate frequency off. AF OFF will appear on
the display. The radio will not switch to other stations.
Setting Preset PTY Stations
The six numbered pushbuttons let you return to your
favorite Program Types (PTYs). These pushbuttons have
factory PTY presets. You can set up to 12 PTYs
(six FM1 and six FM2) by performing the
following steps:
1. Press AM FM to select FM1 or FM2.
2. Press PROG TYPE, if it is not already on.
3. Turn the SELECT knob to select a PTY.
4. Press and hold one of the six numbered pushbuttons
until you hear a beep. Whenever you press that
numbered pushbutton, the PTY you set will return.
5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton.
RDS Messages
ALERT!: This type of announcement warns of national
or local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off
alert announcements. ALERT! appears on the display
when an alert announcement plays. When an alert
announcement comes on the current radio station, you
will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a compact
disc is playing. If the compact disc player is playing,
play will stop for the announcement and resume when
the announcement is finished.
