■ Fixed - Fixed display of station name, a long station name is not fully dis-

Note
■
RDS (Radio Data System) is used to transmit programme IDs and additional
services, thus enabling automatic station tracking, for example. In the event of
sufficiently satisfactory reception, the suitable RDS radio stations will display the
station name instead of the station frequency.■
In countries where the RDS (Radio Data System) function is not adequately
supported, we recommend turning off the AF and RDS setting, otherwise they
can affect the functionality of the radio.
■
The AF (alternative frequency) function ensures that the best receivable fre-
quency of the selected station is automatically and precisely set.

Traffic monitoring is indicated by the letters 
in the display.
While playing in Media mode, the last selected radio station continues to be re-
ceived in the background if it supports traffic information. If a radio station is set
that does not support TP, the most appropriate TP station is set automatically in the background to continuously receive traffic reports in the media.
The radio works the same in a selected AM frequency range. If no traffic pro-
gramme station can be found because, for example, radio reception is interrupted
in general, No TP will be displayed instead of TP.
