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.

off independently for each FM band.

ments regarding emergencies such as natural
disasters. When the tuner receives the radio
alarm code, ALARM appears on the display
and the volume adjusts to the TA volume.
When the station stops broadcasting the
emergency announcement, the system re-
turns to the previous source.
p An emergency announcement can be can-
celled by touching [Cancel].

nouncement by changing the source or
