matth76 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hi I'm aware of the cd skipping issue with the Bose which thankfully I have only had once when very cold and has not come back. One annoying issue I do have is I could be playing a CD or listening to any radio channel and it will suddenly change channel and go to radio 2 or similar saying "News" on the display - I swap back to the original station or CD and a few seconds later it will revert back to that news channel. I have read the handbook and can see all about "PTY" but not sure what this is, if this is what the problem is, nor how to disable it, if this is the function causing the news interruptions. Please can anyone help tell me what button I need to press or function I need to disable the "news" flashes all the time Driving me a bit mad. Thanks for any help.

Maccaman Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I had this problem a one time after having a mess around. For the life of me I can't remember exactly how I put it right. Its definetly to do with the PTY etc. & you need to turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matth76 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Thanks. Think I've sorted it. Held down the PTY button and it went out in the top right corner of the display. So far touch wood it's been fine since then. Does anyone know what the PTY stands for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Programme TYpe? Dunno, but it lets you cycle through the different types of radio station available so you only get offered the ones that play stuff you want to listen to, rather than everything. That said, I've never managed to get it to work on any car I've ever owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 According to wikipedia: PTY Programme Type This coding of up to 31 pre-defined programme types – e.g. (in Europe): PTY1 News, PTY6 Drama, PTY11 Rock music, – allows users to find similar programming by genre. PTY31 seems to be reserved for emergency announcements in the event of natural disasters or other major calamities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matth76 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Managed to turn PTY off (by holding the button for a second or two) and since then it seems to have been ok - touch wood. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
