Searching for a preferred language
A single broadcaster is capable of broadcasting up to
8 different programs simultaneously. When multiple
languages are broadcast, the MULTI indicator lights
in the display and the MULTI/LANG button can be
used to select the language. However, by setting the
User Preferred Language (UPL), it is also possible for
this unit to automatically select the program in the
language you normally use.
To establish the UPL, it is first necessary to conduct a
search for a program being broadcast in your
language.
1
Press and hold the MULTI/LANG button for 3
seconds until “SEL-LANG” appears in the
display.
2
Turn the TUNING/SELECT dial to select one of
the 20 languages in the menu.
If the TUNING/SELECT dial position does not
change for 5 seconds, the LANG search mode is
exited.
The languages that can be selected are as follows.
ENGLISH
SPANISH
ARABIC
PORTUG (Portuguese)
FRENCH
MANDARIN
HINDI
BAHASA
TAGALOG
SWAHILI
HAUSA
URDO
KOREAN
THAI
AFRIKAAN
CANTON
CATALAN

Press the MULTI/LANG button again.
The unit searches for a program in the selected
language. Reception of the program begins as
soon as it is found. Press the MULTI/LANG button
within 15 seconds of receiving a program to
search for another program. If the MULTI/LANG
button is not pushed again, the mode is exited
and the current program will continue to be
received.
Performing this search establishes the UPL. As many
as three UPL can be stored in memory. When
multiple language programming is encountered, the
program in one of the established UPL will be
automatically selected when available. UPL priority
is based on the most recent language search
performed.
Notes:
• To establish three languages as UPL, it is necessary to
perform a language search for each language. Note that
priority is given to the most recent language searched
for.
• If the selected language is not found, “NO PGM” appears
in the display and the unit returns to the previously
received broadcaster.
• Language information is transmitted by the broadcaster.
Therefore, though a program with the specified language
is detected, the language of the actual program may be
different. This is not a malfunction.
• Pressing the WS button during a language search ends
the search and returns to the previously received
broadcaster.
