AUTOMATIC VOLUME
CONTROL
When available, automatic volume control
(AVC) adjusts the volume level to
compensate for engine noise and road
speed noise.
• Press the MENU button and select
AUDIO.
• Select AVC LEVEL or ADAPTIVE VOL.
• Use the left or right arrow button to
adjust the AVC setting.
• Press the OK button to confirm your
selection.
• Press the MENU button to return.

REGIONAL MODE (REG)

Regional mode (REG) controls the
behaviour of AF switching between
regionally related networks of a parent
broadcaster. A broadcaster may run a
fairly large network across a large part of
the country. At various times of the day
this large network may be broken down
into a number of smaller regional
networks, typically centred on major
towns or cities. When the network is not
split into regional variants, the whole
network caries the same programming.
Regional mode ON: This prevents
'random' AF switches when neighbouring
regional networks are not carrying the
same programming.
Regional mode OFF: This allows a larger
coverage area if neighbouring regional
networks are carrying the same
programming, but can cause 'random'
AF switches if they are not.

ALTERNATIVE
FREQUENCIES
Many programmes broadcast on the FM
waveband have a programme
identification (PI) code, which can be
recognised by audio units.
If your radio has alternative frequencies
(AF) tuning switched on and you move
from one transmission area to another,
this facility will search for and switch to a
stronger station signal, if one can be
found.
Under certain conditions, however, AF
tuning may temporarily disrupt normal
reception.
When selected, the unit continually
evaluates signal strength and, if a better
signal becomes available, the unit will
switch to that alternative. It mutes while it
checks a list of alternative frequencies
and, if necessary, it will search once
across the selected waveband for a
genuine alternative frequency.
It will restore radio reception when it finds
one or, if one is not found, the unit will
return to the original stored frequency.
When selected, 'AF' will be shown in the
display.
