1 sec. “REG ON” appears in the dis-
play.
If you leave the service area of the regional
programme tuned into, or if you would like
to take advantage of the full RDS service,
switch to “REG OFF”.
•
Press the AF button for approximately
1 sec. until “REG OFF” appears.
If the REG function is active, “REG ON” will
be briefly displayed each time you turn the
radio on.
Selecting a waveband
You can select between the following wave-
bands:
FM 87.5 - 108 MHz
MW 531 - 1602 kHz
LW 153 - 279 kHz
•
Press the BND button until the desired
waveband shows on the display panel.
Note:
In the DSC menu you can deactivate the
station selection on either MW or LW or for
both wavebands at the same time.
This has the advantage that only the re-
quired bands can be activated, so that you
need to press the BND button less often.
For more information, please refer to “DSC
programming - AM ON or AM OFF.
Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
If “SEARCH” appears in the display when
you switch the radio on or when you recall
one of the stored frequencies, the unit is
automatically searching for an alternative
frequency.
“SEARCH” will disappear from the display
when the alternative frequency has been
found or after the frequency band has been
run through completely.
If the sound quality of the selected pro-
gramme deteriorates appreciably:
•
Tune into another station.
REG - regional programme
Certain radio programmes are split up at
times into regional programmes offering lo-
cal information. The 1st programme broad-
cast by NDR, for example, offers pro-
grammes with different contents in the north-
ern German states Schleswig-Holstein,
Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain times
of the day.
If you are listening to a regional programme
and move to an area where another linked
regional programme becomes stronger, the
unit will switch to the new regional pro-
gramme.
If you wish to continue listening to the first
programme,
•
press the AF button for approximately
The Radio Data System offers you more
convenience when you listen to FM radio
stations.
More and more radio stations have begun
to broadcast RDS information along with
their programmes.
As soon as a programme has been identi-
fied, the station name including a regional
identifier, if applicable, will appear in the dis-
play, for example, NDR1 NDS (regional pro-
gramme in Lower Saxony, Germany).
If RDS is activated, the preset buttons be-
come programme buttons. You now know
exactly which programme you have tuned
into, making it easy to find the desired sta-
tion quickly.
But RDS also offers you further advantag-
es:
AF - Alternative frequency
The AF (Alternative Frequency) function
makes sure that the strongest frequency of
the currently selected programme is always
tuned in automatically.
This function is activated if “AF” appears in
the display.
In order to switch this function on or off,
•
press the AF button briefly.
While searching for the strongest reception
signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.
