Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
”AF” then appears in reverse video on the
corresponding key.
The radio may be muted briefly during the
search for the channel with the best recep-
tion.
If “SEARCH” appears on the display when
the unit is switched on or when a stored fre-
quency is called up, the unit is automatical-
ly searching for an alternative frequency.
”SEARCH” disappears when an alternative
frequency has been found, or when the fre-
quency band has been completely
searched.
If the station can no longer be received with
satisfactory quality:
• Select a different station.
The Radio Data System provides FM recep-
tion with enhanced convenience.
An increasing number of radio stations now
broadcast RDS information supplementary
to the programme proper.
As soon as stations can be recognized, the
station code appears, in some cases with
indication of the region, e.g. NDR1 NDS
(Niedersachsen).
With RDS, the station keys become pro-
gramme keys. You now know exactly what
station you are receiving, and you can there-
fore also select the desired station.
RDS offers you further advantages:
AF - alternative frequency
The AF (Alternative Frequency) function en-
sures that the best available frequency of
the station being received is selected auto-
matically.
Switching AF on/off:
During radio mode
• Press TU: menu level 2 is called up.
• Press AF briefly.
This function is active when “AF” is lit in the
display.
REG Regional
At certain times, the broadcast stations
transmit different programme content ac-
cording to the region. For example, German
Radio 1 serves the northern regions
Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lower
Saxony, and at certain times broadcasts re-
gional programmes which differ in content.
If you are listening to a regional programme
and wish to continue to receive it, switch to
REG ON in the DSC menu. If you are leav-
ing the region in which the regional pro-
gramme can be received, or if you wish to
enjoy the full RDS service, switch to “REG
OFF”.
Switching REG over:
• Press the DSC key and
/ repeated-
ly until “REG ON/OFF” appears in the
display.
• Press << >> to toggle between REG
ON and REG OFF.
• Press DSC to leave the DSC menu
and save the settings.
