GCancelling an emergency broadcast
If you press the [AF] button, emergency broad-
cast reception is cancelled.
This MP3 features the original audio data com-
pression to about 10 percent of its initial size
with a high sound quality. This means that about
10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc
or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time
without having to change CDs.
Switching the PTY display language
You can select one of 4 languages (English,
German, Swedish or French) for the PTY dis-
