Note
• When an RDS station is broadcasting, do not press FREQ/RDS until
one or more mode indicators light up in the CinemaStation Display. If
you press FREQ/RDS before the mode indicators light up,
CinemaStation may not be able to change modes.
• RDS information not provided by a station cannot be selected.
• If the RDS station's signal transmission is too weak, CinemaStation
may not be able to use the service fully. In particular, radio text uses a
lot of bandwidth, so it may not be available even when other modes
are selectable.
• RDS information may not transmit under poor conditions. In this
case, press AUTO/MAN'L to set CinemaStation to Manual Tuning
mode. This changes reception to monaural and may help RDS
information reappear when you switch to RDS display mode.
• If outside interference disrupts an RDS station broadcast, RDS
information may suddenly disappear and "...WAIT " appears in the
CinemaStation Display.
When you select the program type, CinemaStation automatically
searches through all preset stations currently broadcasting for
that type.
Press PTY SEEK MODE to set CinemaStation to
PTY SEEK mode.
The program type of the tuned in station or NEWS blinks
in the CinemaStation Display.
Press PRESET u/d to select the program type
you want.
Your program type selection appears in the
CinemaStation Display.
Press PTY SEEK START to start searching all
preset RDS stations.
The selected program type flashes and the PTY HOLD
indicator lights up while the search is in progress.
If the search finds a station that matches the program type
you selected, CinemaStation will tune it in.
If the station tuned in is not the one you want press PTY
SEEK START again to continue the search for other
stations broadcasting the program type you selected.
To cancel steps 1 or 2
