NOTES
• RDS is only available for FM reception.
• The PS function allows station names to be displayed in clear letters.
• Network Tracking reception uses the PI and AF codes. The PI code
identifies the country, area and broadcast system. AF lists up which
reception
frequencies at the area are broadcasting the same program and
automatically changes to the best reception quality offering frequency
without the need to interrupt the program by a seek function.
• Traffic programmes and announcements can be automatically received
using the TP/TA features.
• EON-TA: With activated EON function traffic announcements can be
heard when listening programs which do not broadcast such information
by themselves. To do this, the tuner changes to another program only
for announcements, returning automatically afterwards to the previous
listened program.
• PTY program type selection enables to select the contents of programs
who are supporting this service.
