Selecting the frequency band
If in the Radio mode, briefly and repeatedly press
button 12 (BAND-AUTOSTORE) to select the
required reception band.
Every time the button is pressed the following bands
are selected in sequence “FM1”, “FM2”, “FMT”,“MW”
and “LW” shown by the respective wording on the
display.
The last station selected in the respective frequency
band will be tuned specially if the station is not stored
on the presetting buttons.
If selected station is stored on one of the presetting
buttons, the display will show the presetting number
for few seconds; then the display will show again the
station frequency.
The FM band is divided into sections: FM1, FM2 and
FMT. The FMT reception band is reserved to the
stations stored automatically with the AutoSTore
function.
The radio is always ready to receive stations in the
RDS mode (Radio Data System).Presetting buttons
The buttons with symbols from 1 to 6 (“16”, “15”,
“13”, “10”, “7”, “9”) make it possible to set the
following presettings:
❒18 in the FM band (6 in FM1, 6 in FM2, 6 in FMT);
❒6 in the MW band;
❒6 in the LW band;
❒6 types of PTY programming (only in the FM mode
when PTY is selected).
To call a preset station, choose the required frequency
band and then press briefly the corresponding preset
button (from 1 to 6). For a few seconds the display
will show the number of the station preset and the
related frequency before showing the frequency band
and the name of the RDS station.
If the PI code (Program Index) can no longer receive at
the frequency allocated to a preset button, the radio
will start searching this PI on another frequency as
soon as the car leaves the area covered by the
previous frequency. The display will show “SEARCH”.

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.

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.

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
