Repeat the steps for each EQ setting. EQ 5 has been programmed for use with talk radio, but it can be preset to a different tone. Using RDS Mode Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data System (RDS). In rare cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect information that will cause the radio features to work improperly. When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name will appear on the display, instead of the frequency. Most RDS stations provide their station name, the time of day and a Program Type (PTY) for their current programming. TRAF will appear on the display if the tuned station broadcasts traffic announcements. If the current tuned station does not broadcast traffic announcements, the radio will seek to a station that does. When the radio finds a station that broadcasts traffic announcements, it will stop. When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio station or a related network station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or compact disc is playing. If the cassette tape or compact disc player was being used, the tape or compact disc will stay in the player and resume play at the point where it stopped. D Seek only to stations with the types of programs you want to listen to, D seek to stations with traffic announcements, D receive announcements concerning local and national emergencies, and D receive and display messages from radio stations. RDS features are only available for use on FM stations which broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of your radio rely upon receiving specific RDS information 3-28 INFO: If the current station has a message, INFO will appear on the display. If the whole message does not appear on the display, parts of the message will appear every three seconds until the message is completed. To see the parts of the message faster than every three seconds, press this button again. Once the complete message has been displayed, INFO will disappear from the display until another new message is received. PROG TYPE: This button is used to turn on and off Program Type (PTY) select. P-TYPE will appear on the display and the SELECT LED indicator next to the SELECT knob will light. Press SEEK or SCAN to find radio stations of the PTY you want to listen to. If a station with the selected PTY is not found, NOT FOUND will appear on the display. If both PROG-TYPE and TRAF are on, the radio will search for stations with traffic announcements and the selected PTY. To use the PROG-TYPE interrupt feature, press and hold this button until you hear a beep on the PTY you want to interrupt. When you are listening to a cassette or compact disc, the last selected RDS FM station will interrupt play if that selected PTY format is broadcast.
