Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
Sampling stations with
Radio Scan
You can sample briefly the stations which can be received on the selected frequency band.
Radio Scan can be started only when PTY is deactivated (“PTY” is not lit on the dis- play).
If necessary, deactivate PTY on menu level
2. Proceed as follows:
•Press TU and disable PTY using the PTY key.
Switching on Scan:
•Press SCA briefly.
All stations on the frequency band which can be received are sampled briefly in turn. “SCAN” and the flashing station name/fre- quency appear alternately on the display.
Selecting a sampled station/deactivat- ing Scan:
•Press SCA or one of the rocker keys briefly.
If a station is not selected, Scan is switched off automatically when the seek function has passed through the complete frequency range. The station previously selected is played.
Changing the sampling time (Scan)
The sampling time can be selected between 5 and 30 seconds.
If you wish to change the duration of the sampling time, refer to “Programming with DSC – SCANTIME”.
Changing the sensitivity of the seek run
You can change the sensitivity of the auto- matic seek run.
If “lo” is displayed, seek only recognizes sta- tions with good reception (low sensitivity).
If “lo” is not displayed, seek also recognizes stations with poorer reception.
To adjust the sensitivity, refer to “Program- ming with DSC – FM/AM Sens”.
Toggling between stereo and mono (FM)
You can toggle between stereo and mono in the DSC menu. This can be useful in ar- eas where reception is critical. When the unit is switched on, stereo is selected automati- cally.
When reception is poor, the unit switches smoothly to mono.
If you wish to switch to mono, refer to “Pro- gramming with DSC – STEREO/ MONO”.
The state selected appears briefly on the display.
Automatic bandwidth switching
(SHARX)
You can activate automatic bandwidth switching on the FM band by means of the SHARX function in the DSC menu.
This is very useful when a number of sta- tions are close together.
Interference from strong adjacent stations is largely eliminated when SHARX ON is selected (factory default setting).
If necessary, refer to “Programming with DSC – SHARX”.
