Selecting the operating
mode
Use the SRC (source) button to select bet-
ween radio, CD and CD changer, if applica-
ble.
The CD mode is not available unless a CD
has been inserted.
The CD changer mode is not available un-
less a CD changer is connected and a CD
magazine inserted. Otherwise, "No CD" will
appear in the display.
Press SRC to switch between the operating
modes.
Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System enhances your en-
joyment when you listen to FM radio stati-
ons.
More and more radio stations now broad-
cast RDS information along with their regu-
lar programming.
As soon as radio programmes are identified,
the station name including a regional iden-
tifier, if applicable, will appear in the display,
for example, NDR1 NDS (regional program-
me in Lower Saxony, Germany). When RDS
is activated, the preset buttons become pro-
gramme buttons. You now know exactly
which programme you have tuned into, ma-
king it easy to find the desired station quickly.
But RDS also offers you further advantages:
AF - Alternative frequency
The "AF" function makes sure that the radio
always tunes into the strongest frequency
for the currently selected programme auto-
matically.
Press the AF•TA button for approximately
2 seconds, until you hear a beep and "AF"
appears in display field 3.
While searching for the strongest reception
signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.
If "SEARCH" appears in the display when
the radio is switched on or one of the stored
frequencies recalled, the unit is already au-
tomatically searching for an alternative fre-
quency.
"SEARCH" will disappear from the display
when the alternative frequency has been
found or after the frequency band has run
through completely.
If the reception quality of the programme
selected deteriorates beyond a certain point,
tune into another station.
REG - regional programme
Certain radio programmes are split up at
times into regional programmes offering lo-
cal information. The 1st programme broad-
cast by NDR, for example, offers pro-
grammes with different contents in the nor-
thern German states of Schleswig-Holstein,
Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain times
of the day.
If you are listening to a particular regional
programme and wish to continue doing so,
select "REG ON" in the DSC mode.
If you leave the service area of the regional
programme you are tuned into, or if you
would like to take full advantage of RDS
service, switch to "REG OFF" in the DSC
mode.
The display will briefly indicate whether this
function is switched on or off with "REG ON"
or "OFF" when you switch on the "AF"
function.
