Manual Tuning; Automatic Tuning - Alfa Romeo 156 Sound System Manual

There is also a reception band reserved to
the stations stored automatically with the
Autostore function. To activate this band,
press briefly button "AS" (13). This band
will be identified on the display by "FA",
"MA" or "LA", according to Autostore
function selecting band: FM (F1 or F2),
MW or LW.
After selecting the Autostore band, press
briefly button "AS" (13) or "BAND" (8)
to go back to the other bands.
The radio is always ready to receive sta-
tions in the RDS mode (Radio Data Sys-
tem).
Storing the last station heard
The radio automatically keeps in storage
the last station heard for each reception
band, which is then tuned when the radio is
turned on or the reception band is changed.
Tuning
Press briefly and repeatedly button
"TUNE" (9) to select one of the following
three tuning modes:
1) Automatic distant sensitivity: the dis-
play will show "SEEK DX"
2) Automatic local sensitivity: the display
will show "SEEK LOC"
3) Manual seek: the display will show
"MANUAL"
If no tuning is selected, automatic distant
sensitivity will be tuned automatically.
There are therefore two levels of reception
sensitivity:
1) maximum sensitivity (distant), which
makes it possible to tune all the stations that
can be received
2) minimum sensitivity (local), which
makes it possible to tune only those stations
with sufficiently strong signals, such as for
example local stations.
