INTRODUCTION
RADIO
REGIONAL MODE function
(regional broadcast reception)
Certain national broadcasters, at deter-
minate times of the day, transmit region-
al programmes which differ from region
to region. This function makes it possible
to tune in only on local stations (region-
al) (see paragraph “EON function”).
Activate this function if you want to tune
automatically to regional stations broad-
casting in the selected band.
To turn the function on/off use button
÷or ˜.
The display will show the current status
of the function:
❒“REGIONAL MODE: ON”: function
on.
❒“REGIONAL MODE: OFF”: function
off.
If the function is off and a regional pro-
gramme is tuned that works in a deter-
minate area and the car enters a different
area, the regional station of the new area
is received.
IMPORTANT If AF and REG are both ac-
tive, when passing from one region to an-
other the radio could not tune properly to
a valid alternative frequency.MP3 CD DISPLAY
(MP3 CD data display)
With this function it is possible to choose
the information shown on the display,
when listening to a MP3 CD.
This function can be selected only if a MP3
CD is loaded: in this event the display
shows “MP3 DISPLAY”.
To change the function use buttons
÷or ˜.
The display shows the setting among the
six possible:
❒TITLE (track title, if ID3-TAG available)
❒AUTHOR (track author, if ID3-TAG
available)
❒ALBUM (album title, if ID3-TAG avail-
able)
❒DIR (directory name);
❒FILENAME (MP3 file name);
❒TIME (time elapsed from start of track). The volume with which the traffic bulletin
is transmitted varies depending on the lis-
tening volume:
❒listening volume below 20: traffic bul-
letin volume = 20 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 20: traffic bul-
letin volume = listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during a traffic
bulletin the value is not shown on the dis-
play and the new value is kept only for the
bulletin in progress.
When receiving traffic information the dis-
play will show message “TRAFFIC IN-
FORMATION”.
The TA function is interrupted by press-
ing any sound system button.
