Searching for a preferred language

A single broadcaster is capable of broadcasting up to 8 different programs simultaneously. When multiple languages are broadcast, the MULTI indicator lights in the display and the MULTI/LANG button can be used to select the language. However, by setting the User Preferred Language (UPL), it is also possible for this unit to automatically select the program in the language you normally use.

To establish the UPL, it is first necessary to conduct a search for a program being broadcast in your language.

1Press and hold the MULTI/LANG button for 3 seconds until “SEL-LANG” appears in the display.

3Press the MULTI/LANG button again.

The unit searches for a program in the selected language. Reception of the program begins as soon as it is found. Press the MULTI/LANG button within 15 seconds of receiving a program to search for another program. If the MULTI/LANG button is not pushed again, the mode is exited and the current program will continue to be received.

Performing this search establishes the UPL. As many as three UPL can be stored in memory. When multiple language programming is encountered, the program in one of the established UPL will be automatically selected when available. UPL priority is based on the most recent language search performed.

Notes:

•To establish three languages as UPL, it is necessary to perform a language search for each language. Note that priority is given to the most recent language searched for.

•If the selected language is not found, “NO PGM” appears in the display and the unit returns to the previously received broadcaster.

•Language information is transmitted by the broadcaster. Therefore, though a program with the specified language is detected, the language of the actual program may be different. This is not a malfunction.

•Pressing the WS button during a language search ends the search and returns to the previously received broadcaster.
