REG function
(regional broadcast reception)
Certain national broadcasters, at determinate times of
the day, transmit regional programmes which differ
from region to region. This function makes it possible
to tune in only on local stations (regional). However if
a regional programme is heard and you wish to stay
tuned to it, the function must be activated.
To turn the function on/off, use button 9 (
˜) or 12
(
÷).
The display will show the current status of the
function:
❒“REG ON”: function on;
❒“REG OFF”: function off.
If the function is off and a regional programme is tuned
that works in a determinate area and the car enters a
different area, the regional station of the new area is
received.
IMPORTANT When the function is off (“REG-OFF”)
and the AF function is on (alternative frequencies) the
radio automatically tunes to the frequency of the
station selected with the strongest signal.CDC function
(CD Changer data display)
(if installed)
This function can be chosen only if a CD Changer is
connected.
In this case the display will show “CDC DISP”.
To change the function use buttons 9 (
˜) or 12
(
÷).
The display shows the setting among the two possible:
❒“TIME” (time elapsed from start of track);
❒“CD NR” (CD number).
SENS DX/LO function (tuner sensitivity
adjustment)
With this function it is possible to change the
sensitivity of automatic station searching. When low
sensitivity “SENS LO” is set only stations with
excellent reception are sought; when high sensitivity
“SENS-DX” is set all stations are sought. Therefore, if
the car is in an area with a considerable number of
stations and you want to choose only those with a
strong signal, set to low sensitivity “SENS LO”.
