Range selection
FM range: press the BN key repeatedly until the display shows the required range «FM 1», «FM 2» or «FM
3».
AM Range: press the BN key repeatedly until the display shows «MW» (medium wave) or «LW» (long
wave).
Last station memory
Once the selection has been made, the last programme tuned on this range can be played (Last Station
Memory) While in Last Station Memory mode, the set stores the settings present before it is turned off:
selected station, CD or TAPE, and plays them when the set is turned on again.
Stereo reception - FM
When a stereo station is received, the display shows the corresponding symbol.
Traffic information reception (TP)
TP (Traffic Program): RDS station able to transmit traffic broadcasts.
TP function activation
Give the TP key a short press This enables the traffic broadcast reception function: the display shows the
message "TP"
When traffic information is received with the TP function active and another sound source is playing (e.g.
CD or tape), the source is interrupted to listen to the radio information and the display shows the message
"TA INFO" for 10 seconds.
At the end of the traffic information, the soruce is automatically switched to the source selected originally.
NOTE: if the station tuned in is not an RDS station able to broadcast traffic information, a search is
automatically started for an RDS station when the TP function is selected.
Interrupting traffic information
Give the TP key a short press. The function still remains active to receive future traffic information.
Because the radio offers the EON service, another station belonging to the same network may tune in
while listening to a radio station to provide traffic information (only with TP function enabled); it will re­
turn to the original station automatically at the nd of the news.
NOTE: traffic information is provided at minimum volume. This volume may be adjusted by means of the
EXPERT control menu.
// only traffic information is to be played, activate the function by means of the TP key and set
the volume to zero using knob A
Alternative frequency (AF)
During reception of an RDS programme that is broadcast by several stations at different frequencies, the
radio will automatically switch to the frequency with the best local reception.
NOTE: in a very poor reception area, the user may become aware of attempts to switch between sound
frequencies due to frequent pauses. In this case, it is advisable to deactivate the AF function
RDS-EON
temporarily.

TUNING
Tuning RDS stations/programmes with automatic search for stations
1. Use the BN key to select the range: FM1, FM2, FM3, MW or LW.
The automatic search within FM ranges operates with two degrees of sensitivity. During the first search
through the reception range, the search is carried out for stations with high field intensity (local sta­
tions). The second search seeks stations with low field intensity (distant reception). The message "DX"
appears on the display during the search.
The DX function may be deactivated (see chapter on EXPERT control level)
2. An automatic search in the required direction may be started by giving a short press to one of the keys
A or B. The display shows the relevant frequency: when a station with an identification code is found,
this is shown on the display. Otherwise the frequency indication remains.
If the RDS station/programme tunes within the selected range, it is stored on a selection key for sta­
tions 1 to 6. The relevant number appears on the display, e.g. "3" for memory position 3.
3. If the tuned station is to be stored on a selection key, proceed as described in the paragraph on station
selection keys.

Use the BN key to select the range: FM1, FM2, FM3, MW or LW.
Give a short press to the selection key for stations 1 to 6.
Even if the radio power supply is disconnected, the memory contents of the station selection keys are
maintained.
Manual frequency tuning
1. Use key BN to select the range:: FM1, FM2, FM3, MW or LW.
2. Pres one of the keys A or B for 2 seconds until "MAN" appears on the display and the frequency tun­
ing is not visible. Continual switching takes place during fast forward when one of the keys is held
down.
3. Use keys A or B to tune in the required direction: the frequency will be increased or reduced by 50 Hz
while in FM or 1 kHz in AM.
4. If the tuned station is to be stored on one of the station selection keys, proceed as described in the
paragraph on "Station selection keys".
5. Conclusion of manual frequency tuning: give a short press to one of the station selection keys from 1
to 6.
NOTE: If no key is pressed for 60 seconds, manual frequency tuning is automatically concluded.
