Digital Radio Receiver
The radio controls communicate with the digital radio receiver via the class 2 communication circuit. The digital radio receiver sends low level audio signals to the audio amplifier.

Viewing Messages
Press the MSG button while in XM mode to view various pieces of information related to the current song or channel. By pressing and releasing the MSG button, you may view four different categories of information: Artist Name/Feature, Song/Program Title, Channel Category, and other Additional Information that may be broadcast on that channel. Additional Information messages may not always be available. If an Additional Information message is being broadcast on the tuned channel, MSG will appear on the display. Each of the four information types may have multiple pages of text. To reach a category, press and release the MSG button consecutively until the desired type is displayed. If there are multiple pages of text for the selected information type, the radio will automatically display all the pages for that type at a rate of approximately one page every three seconds before timing out and returning to the default display. You may override this feature by pressing the MSG button to review all of the pages at your own pace.

Selecting a PTY
The LEVEL + or - buttons can be used to scroll through the list of available program types (PTY) that can be used to find RDS broadcasts. Press the PTY button, followed by the LEVEL + or - buttons to scroll through the available program types. The radio will show the PTY icon to indicate that it is in PTY mode. When the desired PTY is shown on the display, press the TUNE/SEEK or SCAN button twice. The radio will seek the next station of that type.
