Radio mode

This unit is equipped with an RDS radio re-
ceiver. Many of the receivable FM stations
transmit a signal that not only carries the pro-
gramme but also additional information such
as the station name and programme type
(PTY).
The station name appears in the display as
soon as it is received. You can optionally dis-
play the programme type. For further details,
please read the section entitled "Programme
type (PTY)".

Convenient RDS functions (AF,
REG)
The convenient RDS functions AF (Alterna-
tive Frequency) and REG (Regional) extend
your radio's range of functions (only in FM
radio mode).
AF: If this RDS function is activated, the
unit automatically carries out a back-
ground search for the best receivable
frequency for the station that is currently
set.
REG: At certain times, some radio sta-
tions divide their programme into re-
gional programmes providing different
content. You can use the REG function
to prevent the car radio from switching
to alternative frequencies that are pro-
viding different regional programme
content.
Note:
REG must be separately activated/de-
activated in the radio functions menu.
