■ 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.
