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
repeatedly until an AVC display
appears.
• Use the left or right arrow button,
to adjust the AVC setting.
• On Sony CD and Sony 6CD, press
the MENU button briefly and use
the up or down arrow button to
select an AVC display.
• Press the MENU button to confirm
your selection or wait until the
system times out.
AUDIO DISTORTION
REDUCTION (CLIP)
When available CLIP automatically
detects sound distortion and reduces
the unit's volume level until the
distortion has been eliminated. This
means that whilst the display might
change numerically when you raise
the volume manually with the control,
there may be no actual increase in
sound.
• Press and hold the MENU button
to reach the secondary MENU
screen until the display changes.
Then press MENU repeatedly until
a CLIP display appears.
• Use the left or right arrow button,
to turn the function on or off.

REGIONAL MODE (REG)

Note: On SONY Generation 1 radios
regional mode is always ON.
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 (default): This
prevents 'random' AF switches when
neighbouring regional networks are
not carrying the same programming.
