AUDIO EQUIPMENT Notes on radio
reception
Your audio equipment will be
subjected to phenomena which do
not affect domestic radio sets. Both
MW/LW and FM reception are sub-
ject to various forms of interference.
T h i s i s n o r e fl e c t i o n o n t h e q u a l i t y o f
the equipment but is due to the na-
ture of the signals and the way in
which they are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be
noticed when passing under high
voltage power lines or bridges, or in
tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the re-
sult of increasing distance from the
t r a n s m i t t e r , d e fl e c t i o n o f t h e s i g n a l b y
obstacles (mountains, hills, buildings,
etc) or of being in an area which is not
covered by a transmitter.

stations (autostore)
Press this button.
Your audio equipment
automatically stores
the six best transmitters
received on AM and FM in your cur-
rent location. These stations are stored

Regional following mode (REG)
Some stations, organised in a network,
broadcast regional programmes in
the various regions which they serve.
The regional following mode enables
you to continue listening to the same
programme. Search by type of programme

This enables you to listen to sta-
tions which broadcast a type of pro-
gramme which has a theme (NEWS,
SPORTS, TALK, POP, CLASSICS).

This system links stations which be-
long to the same network. It permits
t h e t r a n s m i s s i o n o f t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n

to the same network as the station to
which you are listening.
