REGIONAL MODE function
(reception of regional transmissions)
Some national broadcasters transmit regional
programmes at certain times of the day (that vary from
region to region). This function makes it possible to tune
into local (regional) broadcasters automatically (see
“EON function” paragraph).
If you want the radio to automatically tune into the
regional stations being broadcast on the selected
network, the function must be activated.
To turn the function on/off, use the buttons ¯or ˙.
The current status of the function appears on the display:
❒“Regional On”: function activated.
❒“Regional Off”: function deactivated.
If the function is deactivated and you have tuned into a
regional station broadcasting in a given area and you
enter a different area, then the regional station received
in the new area will be broadcast.
WARNING If the AF and REG functions are on at the
same time, once a border between two regions is
crossed, the radio may not switch correctly to a valid
alternative frequency.MP3 DISPLAY function
(Compact Disc MP3 data display)
This function makes it possible to select the information
shown by the display when listening to a CD containing
MP3 tracks.
The function can be selected only if a MP3 CD is loaded:
in this case the text “MP3 Display” appears on the
display.
To change the function use the buttons ¯or ˙.
The following settings are available:
❒“Title” (track title, if ID3-TAG is available).
❒“Author” (track author, if ID3-TAG is available).
❒“Album” (track album, if ID3-TAG is available).
❒“Folder” name (name assigned to the folder).
❒“File” name (name assigned to the MP3 file).

EMERGENCY ALARM RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency alerts in RDS mode in
exceptional circumstances or when there are dangerous
situations (earthquakes, floods, etc.), if these are being
transmitted by the broadcaster tuned into.
This function is activated automatically and cannot be
turned off.
The word Alarm will be shown in the display during the
transmission of an emergency announcement. The
volume of the radio changes during this announcement in
the same way as during traffic news.EON FUNCTION
(Enhanced Other Network)
In some countries, there are circuits that group multiple
broadcasters that are enabled to transmit traffic
information together. In this case, the programme of the
station that is being listened to will be temporarily
interrupted to:
❒receive traffic information (only with the TA function on);
❒listen to regional transmissions each time they are
transmitted by one of the broadcasters in the same
circuit.
STEREOPHONIC BROADCASTERS
If the incoming signal is weak, playback is automatically
switched from Stereo to Mono.
