the station name including a regional iden-
tifier, if applicable, will appear in the display,
for example, NDR1 NDS (regional program-
me in Lower Saxony, Germany). When RDS
is activated, the preset buttons become pro-
gramme buttons. You now know exactly
which programme you have tuned into, ma-
king it easy to find the desired station quickly.
But RDS also offers you further advantages:
REG - regional programme
Certain radio programmes are split up at
times into regional programmes offering lo-
cal information. The 1st programme broad-
cast by NDR, for example, offers pro-
grammes with different contents in the nor-
thern German states of Schleswig-Holstein,
Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain times
of the day.
If you are listening to a particular regional
programme and wish to continue doing so,
select “REG ON” in the DSC mode.
If you leave the service area of the regional
programme you are tuned into, or if you
would like to take full advantage of RDS
service, switch to “REG OFF” in the DSC
mode.
AF - Alternative frequency
The “AF” function makes sure that the radio
always tunes into the strongest frequency
for the currently selected programme auto-
matically.
Press the AF.TA button for approximately 2
seconds, until you hear a beep and “AF”
appears in display field 3.
The display will briefly indicate whether this
function is switched on or off with “REG ON”
or “OFF” when you switch on the “AF”
function.
While searching for the strongest reception
signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.
If “SEARCH” appears in the display when
the radio is switched on or one of the stored
frequencies recalled, the unit is already au-
tomatically searching for an alternative fre-
quency.

Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON
The abbreviation “EON” stands for Enhan-
ced Other Networks, which means that in-
formation is exchanged within a radio net-
work.
Many FM radio stations provide their ser-
vice area with traffic messages at regular
intervals.
Along with their programmes, all traffic pro-
gramme stations transmit a special carrier
signal, which is decoded by your car radio.
If this signal is identified, “TP” will appear in
the display (Traffic Programme).
In addition to these, there are also stations
which do not actually transmit traffic infor-
mation themselves, but by using RDS-EON
it is possible for them to forward the traffic
messages broadcast by another traffic pro-

DSC programming
AM ON/OFF It is possible to block out
one or both of the AM wave-
bands (MW/LW).
The car radio has been equipped with DSC
(Direct Software Control) to allow you to cu-
stomise certain programmable, basic set-
tings to suit your personal needs and prefe-
rences and then store them.
The basic settings for this audio equipment
