The format type 30 is reserved for emergency broadcast tests in the US. Format 31 is reserved for broadcast emergencies. Do not use Format 31 as a search criteria. The format lists include several special types. Use ANY TYPE in order to select any RDS station. While displaying a search format, enabling seek or scan finds the next available RDS station with the selected format type. The display shows SEEK or SCAN and the format type while the function is engaged. When the radio stops on a station during scan, the PS name will display. When you select format seek or scan without first selecting a search format, the previously selected format will be used. If the receiver does not find a station after wrapping around the band twice, the receiver returns to the previous station. Cancel the format seek or scan by pressing any button. The media must be loaded for SOURCE in order to cancel format seek or scan.

The Format Presets feature allows storage and recall of format types using the following keys:

If you press any of the format presets, the receiver begins the seek function. In order to store a format selection, the user selects a format type. Once a format type is selected, you store the format type in the selected format preset in the same manner as a normal preset stored (press and hold). When the storing process is complete, the display shows the format button stored and the format type. An automatic seek does not occur after this process. Press any button in order to cancel a format seek invoked by using the format presets. (Pressing SOURCE requires a CD or a cassette tape in the playback equipment in order to cancel the format seek.) The defaults for the format preset buttons after battery cycle are ANY TYPE.
