To change the type of PTY proceed as follows:
❒press one of the 6 preset buttons;
or
❒press buttons 9 (
˜) or 12 (÷)
If the display shows the station frequency or name
instead of the type of programme, pressing 9 (
˜) or
12 (
÷) the current type of programme will be
displayed.
To store the current type of programme on one of
the 6 preset buttons, give a prolonged press on the
preset button. Storage is confirmed by a “beep”. To
seek a station with this programme see the
“Automatic tuning” and “Scanning stations (Scan
function)” paragraphs.
If no station is available with this type of programme
the system sounds a “beep”, the station selected
previously is heard and for 2 seconds the display
shows the wording “NO-PTY”.
To turn the PTY function off, briefly press button 2
(PTY) again: the display will show the last information
(frequency, etc…) active before the PTY function.Controlling the station’s type
of PTY programme
To know the type of PTY programme of the station
heard, keep button 2 (PTY) pressed until a “beep” is
heard. After the “beep” the display will show the type
of programme (see previous paragraph) offered by the
station tuned. If the station has no PTY code, the
display will show the wording “NO-PTY”. After a few
seconds the display will again show the RDS name or
frequency of the station tuned.
EON function
(Enhanced Other Network)
Certain countries have circuits which group together
several stations enabled to broadcast traffic
information. In this case the programme of the station
being heard will be interrupted temporarily to receive
traffic information (only with TA function on), ever
time these bulletins are given by one of the stations of
the same circuits.

Should it be not possible to receive the PI stored on a
frequency after searching along the whole band, the
radio will tune to the stored frequency.
Pressing the respective preset button for longer than 2
seconds will store the tuned station (the sound system
will always store the frequency and the PI code).
Storing is confirmed by a beep.
Storing the last station heard
The radio automatically keeps in storage the last
station heard for each reception band, which is then
tuned when the radio is turned on or the reception
band is changed.
Automatic tuning
Briefly press button 6 (
N) or (O) to start
automatically searching the tuning for the next station
that it is possible to receive in the direction chosen.
If button 6 (
N) or (O) is pressed for longer, quick
searching takes place: upon having tuned in to the first
well receivable station, the tuner stops for about 1
second (in Mute) before quick searching continues.
When the button is released, the tuner stops on the
next receivable station.If the TA function is on (traffic information), the tuner
only searches stations which broadcast traffic bulletins.
If the PTY function is on, the tuner only searches PTY
stations. When searching, the display alternatively
shows the type of programme and the word “SEEK”.
If the station on which the tuner stops is one of the
stations stored with the preset buttons, the display will
show the presetting number for a few seconds.
Manual tuning
This allows manual station searching in the chosen
band.
Proceed as follows:
❒Select the band with button 12 (BAND-
AUTOSTORE): FM1, FM2, FMT, MW or LW;
❒Press briefly and repeatedly button 5 (
÷) or
(
˜) to start searching in the chosen band.
Pressing one of the buttons 5 (
÷) or (˜)
longer obtains fast forward searching, which is
stopped when the button is released.
To turn on manual tuning search it is necessary to turn
off the PTY and AF (alternative frequencies), if on.
If the station tuned is a station stored with the preset
buttons, the display will show the presetting number
for a few seconds.

The behaviour of the set during AutoSTore is as
follows:
❒at the beginning of the AutoSTore function all the
other functions are disabled;
❒pressing one of the radio function buttons, e.g.: 17
(PTY), 6 (N), 5 (
÷), 6 (O), 5 (˜), (7), (9), (10),
(13), (15), (16) the automatic storage process is
interrupted, the last station heard before
AutoSTore was turned on is tuned and the function
associated with the button pressed is run;
❒pressing button 14 (AF-TA) during AutoSTore will
interrupt it, the TA function (traffic information) will
be turned on/off and a new automatic storage
process will be started;
❒changing the listening source (Radio, Compact Disc,
CD Changer) during automatic storage will not
interrupt the AutoSTore function.
Activating the AutoSTore function in MW or LW
bands will automatically select the FMT band where
the function is then run.
IMPORTANT Sometimes the AutoSTore function is
unable to find 6 stations with a strong signal. In this
case the previous stations will be stored on the free
preset buttons.Listening to stored stations
Proceed as follows:
❒select the required frequency band (FM, MW, LW);
❒briefly press one of the six station storage buttons.
The display will show the number that corresponds to
the button.
In bands FM1, FM2 and FMT, if reception is poor and
the AF alternative frequency search function is active,
the station with the strongest signal that is
broadcasting the same programme will be sought
automatically.
AF function (alternative frequency search)
Within the RDS system the radio can work in two
different modes:
❒“AF ON”: alternative frequency search on (the
display shows “AF”);
❒“AF OFF”: alternative frequency search off.

When the signal of the RDS station tuned weakens,
the following two cases may occur:
❒with “AF ON” the RDS system activates automatic
tuning of the optimum frequency of the station
chosen, with the stations enabled, therefore the
radio is automatically tuned to the station with the
strongest signal that is broadcasting the same
programme. During the journey it will thus be
possible to continue listening to the station chosen
without having to change the frequency when
changing area. Of course, the station being listened
to must be receivable in the area the car is crossing;
❒With “AF OFF” the radio will not tune the
strongest station automatically and it will have to be
found manually using the tuner buttons.
To turn the AF function on/off, keep button 14 (AF-
TA) pressed until hearing the beep. The name RDS (if
available) stays on the display and if the AF function
has been turned on the symbol “AF” is shown.
If the radio is working in the AM band, when button
14 (AF-TA) is pressed, it passes to the FM1 band on
the last station selected.TA function (traffic information)
Certain stations in the FM band (FM1, FM2 and FMT)
are enabled to also broadcast information about traffic
conditions. In this case the display shows “TP”.
To turn the TA (traffic information) function on/off,
briefly press button 14 (AF-TA).
The listening conditions and information given on the
display may be the following:
❒TA and TP: if tuned to a station that sends traffic
information and the traffic information function is
on;
❒TP: if tuned to a station that sends traffic
information but the traffic information function is
off;
❒TA (*): the traffic information function is on but the
radio is tuned to a station that does not give traffic
information;
❒TA and TP not shown on the display: the radio is
tuned to a station that does not give traffic
information and the traffic information function is
off.
(*) If the TA function (traffic information) is on, but the radio sta-
tion chosen does not give traffic information, the device “beeps”
every 30 seconds.
