SRCH (Search) This feature is available only mode. in RDS This button allows you to search all available RDS stations out of the entire FM band and sort them by program type (see "" for details on program types). By pushing this button, RDS is turned on if it was off ("RDS" will display). The radio is switched to FM type mode. During the program type search, "SEARCHING..." will show on the display. Also at this time, "FM" and "TYPE" will appear on the display to indicate that the preset buttons are for program type. After searching for all available RDS stations, the radio will activate the previously used program type. If the previously used program type is not available, or if the radio has not yet performed a program type search, the radio will activate the first available program type, in alphabetical order, that has stations in memory. The radio will preset the stations of the current program type into the preset buttons. If more than 6 stations of a program type are found, the radio will create a second bank of presets, such as "Rock 1" and "Rock 2". These are accessible through the "" button. If more than 12 stations are found, the radio will load the 12 strongest stations signal of the program type into the presets. After the search is complete, the radio will display the number of RDS stations found for 3 seconds: for example, "Found 19 RDS." The radio will then display the selected program type for 3 seconds: for example, "ROCK." After the program type has been displayed for 3 seconds, the radio will display the program type name for 3 seconds. After that, the radio will display the program service name. Day mode (headlights off): The radio will only display the number of presets that have a frequency for the selected program type. For example, if program type Rock is selected, and there are three rock stations, only preset numbers 1, 2 and 3 will be displayed. The remaining preset numbers will not be displayed and the remaining preset button(s) will have no function. Night mode (headlights on): In addition to the display described for day mode, the radio will illuminate the jewels of the presets that have stations available. The remaining preset button(s) will have no function. A type search in progress can be canceled by pushing the following buttons: "SEEK", "TUNE", "SCAN", "AM", "FM", any preset button, "CD" (if CD mode is available), "TAPE" (if tape mode is available), "RDS", "SRCH", "", "TRAF", or "LOAD". If any of these buttons is pressed, the search will be canceled and the appropriate function started. Inserting a tape will also cancel the search. If no RDS stations are found, "FOUND 0 RDS" will display and the radio will return to the previous FM mode and frequency. ST (Stereo reception) display Your radio automatically changes to stereo reception when a stereo broadcast is received. "ST" appears on the display. If the signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the amount of channel separation to prevent the weak signal from creating noise. If the signal becomes extremely weak, the radio switches from stereo to mono reception. 158 2001 MY AVALON (OM22491U)
