Operating the Radio

First select the radio as source by pressing the  button.
a) When you are listening to a radio station in radio mode, the message
'Radio' appears in the top line of the screen.
b) Here the music type or style is displayed, e.g. Pop Music.
This information is only displayed if the transmitting station broadcasts it as
part of the RDS system. If you are listening to a station which does not
support the RDS system, or only supports it in part, these information fields
remain empty.
c) The frequency and / or the station name is displayed in enlarged form. If a
station name is displayed, its frequency is shown in area 'f'.
d) These lines display information which is broadcast by the station (e.g.
Radiotext).
e) The field strength  and therefore the reception quality to be expected from
the set transmitting station can be assessed from the field strength.
f) Display of Stereo '' / Mono' '
If the station being received is broadcasting relevant RDS data, the following
information will be displayed on the screen:
 Station name
 Radiotext
 Program type (genre)
Manual adjustments
Holding one of the  /  buttons pressed in initiates a station
search in the upward or downward direction. The station search stops
automatically at the next station.
You can toggle the radio of the  between stereo and mono reception by
briefly pressing the  button. The reception mode is shown on the screen
by the following symbols:
If the station you wish to listen to is very weak or very distant, and can only be
picked up with severe background noise, you should always switch to MONO
mode as this reduces the unwanted hiss significantly.

When you store the station in the Favourites list, the settings you enter for this
station are also stored, and are automatically restored the next time you call up
the station.
In addition to manual tuning and searching, the radio of the  also features a
Favourites list and Presets, which provide a fast, convenient method of
managing your preferred stations and calling them up at any time.
You can edit the Favourites list to suit your preferences (see section 'Adding
stations to the Favourites list / Erasing stations from the Favourites list').
It is also possible to store the stations under a station number (Preset), and
then to call it up directly by entering the station number. Presets are particularly
useful if you wish to call up stations when the screen is not in sight (e.g. from
an adjacent room), or via the domestic control system.
