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 cassette tape or 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 cassette tape or a compact disc is
playing. If the cassette tape or compact disc player is
playing, play will stop for the announcement and resume
when the announcement is finished.
