Radio Operation
This device is equipped with an RDS radio receiver. Many of the FM stations that can be received transmit a signal in addition to the program itself that contains information such as the name of the station and the type of program (PTY).
As soon as it can be received, the name of the station is shown in the display . If desired, the program type can be displayed.
You may read more about this in the section on “Program Type (PTY)”.

RDS convenience function (AF, REG)
The RDS convenience functions AF (alternat- ive frequency) and REG (regional) extend the capabilities of your radio (only in FM radio operation).
●AF: If the RDS convenience function has been activated, the device searches automatically in the background for the best frequency on which the set station can be received.
●REG: Some stations divide their pro- grams at certain times into regional pro- grams with different content. The REG function prevents the car radio from switching to alternative frequencies that have a different regional program con- tent.
