Selecting the operating mode

Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

Use SRC (source) to select between the radio and CD mode.

The CD mode is not available unless a CD has been inserted into the CD player.

To select the operating mode:

•Press SRC.

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 a programme has been identi- fied, the station name including a regional identifier, if applicable, will appear in the dis- play, for example, NDR1 NDS (regional pro- gramme in Lower Saxony, Germany).

When RDS is activated, the station selec- tion keys become programme keys. You now know exactly which programme you have tuned into, making it easy to find the desired station quickly.

But RDS also offers you further advantages:

AF - Alternative frequency

The AF (Alternative Frequency) function makes sure that the radio always automati- cally tunes into the strongest frequency for the currently selected programme.

If this function is activated, “AF” will appear in the display.

To switch AF on/off,

•press AF briefly.

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 different times during the day into regional programmes offering local information. The 1st programme broadcast by NDR, for ex- ample, offers programmes with different contents in the northern 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,

•press AF for approx. 2 sec.

“REG ON” will appear in the display.

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”.
