9. Analogue radio (FM/VHF)
9.1 Setting the station manually
When you make station settings manually, you can define
the desired frequency yourself and tune into stations that
were ignored during automatic station search because
their signals were too weak.
•
In FM mode, press [ ] to switch back and forth
between volume control and station selection.
•
Select the “Select station” menu item and confirm the
selection by pressing [
VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE
].
•
Turn [
VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE
] (left: –0.05 MHz
/ right: +0.05 MHz) until you see the desired frequency.
Wait for a moment until
•
playback of the received signal commences.
Note
After a few seconds, the radio automatically returns to
volume control mode. If you do not make any changes
to the frequency setting, you may have to press the [ ]
button again to return to setting the station.
9.2 Automatic station search
The radio can automatically search for stations. This
process searches the entire frequency range of the
analogue radio receiver. The radio stops the search and
starts playback when it finds a station.
•
In FM mode, press [ ] to switch back and forth
between volume control and station selection.
•
Select the “Select station” menu item and confirm the
selection by pressing [
VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE
].
•
Turn [
VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE
] (left: - 0.05 MHz/
right: + 0.05 MHz), to set the desired direction of the
scan and then press [
VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE
] to
start the automatic station search.
Station search setting
The search run setting allows you to determine whether
stations with low signal strength are to be considered
during the automatic search run.
Proceed as follows:
•
Repeatedly press [ ] to get to the “Station search
settings” menu item.
•
Confirm the selection by pressing [
VOLUME/SELECT/
NAVIGATE
].
•
To have the search stop only at stations with a strong
signal, select “Only strong stations”. Otherwise, the
search run will stop at every station for which a signal is
received.
Note
By default, “Only strong stations” is enabled.
9.3 Audio settings
Some radio stations broadcast their signals in stereo
quality. This radio uses stereo signals as standard and
optimises playback for them.
For some stations with a weak signal, quality can be
improved slightly by playing them in mono. You
can enable this function in the menu, and the radio will
automatically switch to mono reception when signal
quality is poor. To change this option, proceed as follows:
•
Press [ ] and navigate to the “Audio settings” menu
item.
•
Select “Mono only” and confirm the selection by pressing
[
VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE
].
