options:
> "I Search non sensitive" locates only
stations with a strong reception
signal
> "II Search sensitive" also locates
stations with weaker signals.
1. Call up selection menu
2. With the right-hand rotary control,
select either "I Search non sensitive"
or
Select "II Search sensitive"
3.
or
Turn right-hand rotary control until
the desired station is heard.
If no station is found using "I Search
non sensitive", weaker stations will
be located in the second search run.
If the set starts to search for a
station automatically, RDS is
switched on and the reception signal on
the frequency currently selected has
deteriorated. If it does not find an alter-
native frequency, it reverts to the fre-
quency on which the station was previ-
ously being received.<
Next station
Press in the direction desired: the next
station will be searched for.

Programme type (PTY)

You can also search for a station by
programme type (PTY).
Via RDS (Radio Data System), certain
stations broadcast information that is
flashed up briefly on the screen when
their frequency is selected; this infor-
mation tells you what type of pro-
gramme is being received: news,
sports, pop, culture, etc.
If reception is poor or if there is consid-
erable interference, it may take some
time for the PTY details to be available.
PTY can also be used for disaster
warnings. If the station is broad-
casting this type of information,
"ALARM" appears on the screen.<
