Radio Section
In the FM mode, we generally recommend to
make use of the RDS service.
As soon as a programme can be identified,
the station logo and possibly the regional
identification, e.g. the German NDR1 NDS
(for Lower Saxony) appear on the display.
Withe RDS, the preset buttons become pro-
gramme buttons. Now you know exactly
which programme your set has currently tu-
ned in, making it thus very easy to choose the
desired station.
AF - Alternative Frequency
The AF function (Alternative Frequency) pro-
vides that the car stereo automatically tunes
