Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
Sampling stations with
Radio Scan
You can sample briefly the stations which
can be received on the selected frequency
band.
Radio Scan can be started only when PTY
is deactivated ("PTY" is not lit on the dis-
play).
If necessary, deactivate PTY on menu level
2. Proceed as follows:
•
Press TU and disable PTY using the
PTY key.
Switching on Scan:
•
Press SCA briefly.
All stations on the frequency band which can
be received are sampled briefly in turn.
"SCAN" and the flashing station name/fre-
quency appear alternately on the display.
Selecting a sampled station/deactivat-
ing Scan:
•
Press SCA or one of the rocker keys
briefly.
If a station is not selected, Scan is switched
off automatically when the seek function has
passed through the complete frequency
range. The station previously selected is
played.
Changing the sampling time
(Scan)
The sampling time can be selected between
5 and 30 seconds.
If you wish to change the duration of the
sampling time, refer to "Programming with
DSC – SCANTIME".
Changing the sensitivity of the
seek run
You can change the sensitivity of the auto-
matic seek run.
If "lo" is displayed, seek only recognizes sta-
tions with good reception (low sensitivity).
If "lo" is not displayed, seek also recognizes
stations with poorer reception.
To adjust the sensitivity, refer to "Program-
ming with DSC – FM/AM Sens".
Toggling between stereo and
mono (FM)
You can toggle between stereo and mono
in the DSC menu. This can be useful in ar-
eas where reception is critical. When the unit
is switched on, stereo is selected automati-
cally.
When reception is poor, the unit switches
smoothly to mono.
If you wish to switch to mono, refer to "Pro-
gramming with DSC – STEREO/ MONO".
The state selected appears briefly on the
display.
Automatic bandwidth switching
(SHARX)
You can activate automatic bandwidth
switching on the FM band by means of the
SHARX function in the DSC menu.
This is very useful when a number of sta-
tions are close together.
Interference from strong adjacent stations
is largely eliminated when SHARX ON is
selected (factory default setting).
If necessary, refer to "Programming with
DSC – SHARX".
