Once the CT function is set to on, the clock time will be updated every hour on the hour whenever a CT station is received. To activate the CT function Hold down CT until “CT ON” appears on the display. If the clock is set wrongly due to an incorrect clock signal, hold down CT until “CT OFF” appears to deactivate it.

Program type identification (PTY) PTY allows selection of listening by one of 30 or more program types rather than by a station.

Enhanced other networks information (EON) EON information gives the receiver a cross reference to other stations and allows the receiver to switch from the currently tuned station to another RDS station.

Traffic program identification (TP) This is a code which informs the receiver that a tuned station regularly broadcasts traffic information.

Clock-time (CT) CT function provides an accurate clock signal which is self-adjusting to time zones and seasonal time changes. To change the MW tuning interval The default setting of the MW tuning interval is 9 kHz/step. If you use the unit in an area where the frequency allocation system is 10 kHz/step, change the tuning interval as follows. Hold down BAND/DIGITAL/ANALOG and press POWER 6STANDBY/ON. To reset the interval, repeat this procedure. NOTE When the MW tuning interval is changed, all preset stations are cleared. The preset stations have to be set again.18 ENGLISH
