receiver. Many of the FM stations that can be
received transmit a signal in addition to the
program itself that contains information such
as the name of the station and the type of
program (PTY).
As soon as it can be received, the name of
the station is shown in the display . If desired,
the program type can be displayed.
You may read more about this in the section
on “Program Type (PTY)”.

RDS convenience function (AF,

The RDS convenience functions AF (alternat-
ive frequency) and REG (regional) extend the
capabilities of your radio (only in FM radio
operation).

AF: If this RDS function is activated, the
unit automatically tunes into the best re-
ceivable frequency for the station that is
currently set.
●
REG: Some stations divide their pro-
grams at certain times into regional pro-
grams with different content. The REG
function prevents the car radio from
switching to alternative frequencies that
have a different program content.
Note:
REG must be separately activated or deactiv-
ated in the radio function menu.
