FM2, FM3, MW, LW) pressing the
“SRC” key repeatedly 2-fig. 1;
– press key “
¯¯” 5-fig. 1or “˙˙”
6-fig. 1to start the search for tuning
the next or previous station that can

tions that broadcast traffic bulletins.
If the “PTY” function is on, the tuner
only seeks stations with the selected
PTY program (see paragraph "PTY-
PROG TYPE function”).Manual station storage
The station being heard can be
stored in the range chosen with key-
pad buttons 16-fig. 1numbered from

The operations to be carried out for
each of the above two conditions are
listed below.
1) If you wish to receive traffic in-
formation while listening to a CD, be-
fore inserting the CD, tune to a sta-
tion enabled to broadcast traffic in-
formation (TP) and turn the TA func-
tion on. If, while playing the CD, this
station broadcasts traffic information,
CD playing will be temporarily
stopped and resumed automatically at
the end of the message.
If the CD player is already operat-
ing and, at the same time, you wish to
receive traffic information, actuating
the TA function will cause the radio to
tune to the latest station listened to
on the FM band (if the station controls
the “TP”); otherwise, automatic
search will be started to find a station
that controls the “TP”.2) To receive traffic information
though not listening to the radio:
– turn on the TA function, so that
the display shows the abbreviation
“TA”;
– tune to a station enabled to broad-
cast traffic information so that “TP”
is shown on the display;
This way, if that station broadcasts
traffic information, this will be heard
at a minimum predefined volume.
A telephone call has higher priority
than traffic message.IMPORTANT In certain countries,
radio stations exist which though the
TP function is active (the display shows
“TP”), do not broadcast traffic infor-
mation.
If the radio is operating on the AM
band, selecting the FM band will cause
the latest listened station to be tuned.
If the selected station does not send
traffic information (the “TP” writing
does not appear on the display), au-
tomatic search will be started to seek
an enabled station to which the radio
will tune.
If the volume is changed during a traf-
fic bulletin the value is not shown on
the display and the new value is kept
only for the bulletin in progress.

– With AF OFF the radio will not
tune the strongest station automati-
cally and it will have to be found man-
ually using the tuner buttons.
To turn on/off this function, press
briefly one of the keypad keys 16-fig.
1set near the icon key AF.
When the AF function is on, the
display shows “AF” and the wording
on the icon key is darkened.
The RDS channel name (if available)
is still shown on the display.“FREQUENCY” FUNCTION
The “Frequency” function enables to
tune the required radio station by
turning knob 15-fig. 1clockwise or
counter-clockwise.
To turn the “Frequency” function on,
turn knob 15-fig. 1to select the cor-
responding icon key and then press it.
To turn this function off, press again
knob 15-fig. 1. AF - SEEKING ALTERNATIVE
FREQUENCIES
Within the RDS system the radio can
work in two different modes:
– AF ON: alternative frequency
search on;
– AF OFF: alternative frequency
search off.
When the signal of the RDS station
tuned weakens, the following two cas-
es may occur:
– With AF ON the RDS system ac-
tivates automatic tuning of the opti-
mum 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 pos-
sible to continue listening to the sta-
tion 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.

During automatic storage the display
shows “Autostore”.
Stations will be stored automatically
on the preset keys from “1” to “6” of
the keypad16-fig. 1. After storage,
the radio tunes automatically to the
first station of the FMAST band, cor-
responding to the frequency stored on
the preset key “1” of the keypad 16-
fig. 1.
Every station is stored only once, ex-
cept in the case of regional pro-
grammes, which in certain cases might
be stored twice.The behaviour of the set during Au-
tostore is as follows:
– pressing one of the preset keys
from “1” to “6” the automatic storage
process is interrupted and the station
stored with that key is tuned
– changing the audio source (Radio,
CD, CD-Changer) during the auto-
matic storage process, the Autostore
function is interrupted. “Autostore” FUNCTION
(AUTOMATIC STATION
STORAGE)
After selecting the AMAST or
FMAST band, to turn on the Auto-
store function (automatic station stor-
age), select the “AUTOSTORE” icon
with the knob 15-fig. 1then press it
to confirm.
When this function is on, the radio
automatically stores the stations with
the strongest signal:
– 6 FM stations in the FMAST band
or
– 6 AM stations in the AMAST band.

LOC/DX function
(tuner sensitivity adjustment)
With this function it is possible to
change the sensitivity of automatic ra-
dio station searching. When low sen-
sitivity “LOC” is set, only stations with
excellent reception are sought; when
high sensitivity “DX” is set, all the sta-
tions are sought. If you are in an area
with a large number of broadcasters
and you want the ones with the
strongest signal, choose low sensitivi-
ty “LOC”.
To choose between low or high
tuner sensitivity, select the “LOC/DX”
function with the knob 15-fig. 1and
then press it repeatedly. The abbre-
viation of the sensitivity chosen will be
shown on the display:
– LOC = low sensitivity;
– DX = high sensitivity.Mono/Stereo function
To pass from “Mono” to “Stereo” or
vice versa, select “Mono/Stereo” by
turning the knob 15-fig. 1and press
it to confirm. This function is only
available on FM band.
When stereo reception is on the dis-
play shows “STEREO”, when it is off
the display shows “MONO”.
When the signal of the station tuned
is weak, to improve the sound quality,
it is advisable to switch to “MONO”. “Radio setup” FUNCTION
To turn on the “Radio Setup” func-
tion, select the “Radio Setup” icon
with the knob 15-fig. 1and press it
to confirm. This function enables to
go to next window to adjust radio
settings. When in this window it is
not possible to change the audio
source. The following functions are
displayed fig. 9:
– Mono/Stereo
– PTY-Prg. Type
