ually changing position of the antenna, differences in signal strength and
surrounding objects, such as trains, transmitters, etc.
The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear quarter window. To maintain
clear radio reception, do not attach metallic window tinting or other metal-
lic objects to the antenna wire mounted inside the rear quarter window.
About Time shift
The times at which playback is possible depend on the bit rate of the DAB
station to be recorded, the amount of DAB unit memory, and the time at
which reception of the broadcast began.
