# PTY information and the frequency of the current station appears on the display for eight seconds.
RDS (radio data system) is a system for providing information along with FM broadcasts. This inaudible information provides such features as program service name, program type, traffic announcement standby and automatic tuning, intended to aid radio listeners in finding and tuning in to a desired station. 1 Program service name Shows the type of broadcast program. 2 AF indicator Shows when AF (alternative frequencies search) function is on. 3 TA indicator Shows when TA (traffic announcement standby) function is on. 4 TP indicator Shows when a TP station is tuned in.
Notes ! RDS service may not be provided by all stations. ! RDS functions like AF and TA are only active when your radio is tuned to a RDS station.
Receiving PTY alarm broadcasts
PTY alarm is a special PTY code for announcements regarding emergencies such as natural disasters. When the tuner receives the radio alarm code, ALARM appears on the display and the volume adjusts to the TA volume. When the station stops broadcasting the emergency announcement, the system returns to the previous source. ! An emergency announcement can be cancelled by pressing TA/AF.

Notes ! Only RDS stations are tuned in during seek tuning or BSM when AF is on. ! When you recall a preset station, the tuner may update the preset station with a new frequency from the stations AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the F1 band.) No preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the station received differs from that for the originally stored station. ! Sound may be temporarily interrupted by another program during a AF frequency search. ! When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station the AF indicator flashes. ! AF can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.

The regional function can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.

Using PI Seek

If the unit fails to find a suitable alternative frequency, or if you are listening to a broadcast and the reception becomes weak, the unit will automatically search for a different station with the same programming. During the search, PI SEEK is displayed and the output is muted. The muting is discontinued after completion of the PI Seek, whether or not a different station is found.
Receiving traffic announcements
TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you receive traffic announcements automatically, no matter what source you are listening to. TA can be activated for both a TP station (a station that broadcasts traffic information) or an enhanced other networks TP station (a station carrying information which cross-references TP stations). 1 Tune in a TP or enhanced other networks TP station.
