“POP” programme.  
Situation:  
PTY is switched on and lights up in the dis-  
play.  
No station offering the selected programme  
type can be currently received (neither with  
seek tuning nor with scan).  
During tape operation, the set will also au-

ing network.  
After the PTY programme the system will

As soon as a programme with such PTY can  
be received within the broadcasting network,  
the unit will switch over to the correspond-
