Limiting stations to regional
programming
When AF is used to automatically retune fre-
quencies, the regional function limits the se-
lection to stations broadcasting regional
programmes.

Touching [Regional] switches between
[On] and [Off].
p
Regional programming and regional net-
works are organised differently depending
on the country (i.e., they may change ac-
cording to the time, country or broadcast
area).
p
The preset number may disappear on the
display if the tuner tunes in a regional sta-
tion that differs from the originally set sta-
tion.

The regional function can be turned on or
off independently for each FM band.

alarm code,

emergency announcement, the system re-
turns to the previous source.

An emergency announcement can be can-
celled by touching [

You can also cancel an emergency an-
nouncement by changing the source or
