Selecting a station


The external environment (hill, building, tunnel, underground car park…) may interfere with the reception, including in RDS station tracking mode.
This phenomenon is a normal result of the way in which radio waves are transmitted and does not in any way indicate a fault with the audio system.

The quality of reception is represented by the number of
active waves in this symbol.

automatically switches back to "DAB".

If the "DAB" station you are listening to is not available on "FM"
(" DAB/FM
" option greyed out), or if "DAB / FM auto tracking" is not
on, the sound will be cut when the digital signal is too weak.

The sampling rates supported are greater than 32 KHz.

It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters, without using of
special characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing and displaying
problems.

In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is
recommended.
