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.

PTY - Programme Type  
PTY is an RDS service offered by an incre-  
asing number of broadcasting stations. This  
feature allows you to select FM stations  
automatically according to their programme  
type. After you have chosen the PTY of your  
preference, the corresponding stations can  
be selected either by seek tuning or using  
the scan function.  
If you would like to listen to a station  
with this PTY, press ??/?? to start the  
seek tuning function.  
Refer to “DSC programming – PTY Lang”  
to find information on switching the langua-  
ge used to display the programme types  
between German and English.  
If the radio is unable to find a station offe-  
ring the selected programme type, the dis-  
play will show “NO PTY” and a beep will be  
emitted. The radio will select the station  
which was tuned into before seek tuning was  
activated.  
Switching PTY ON/OFF  
You can assign different programme types  
to each preset position. Please refer to the  
next section on “Storing programme types”.  
b) Using the <</>> buttons on the rocker  
switch  
Press “PTY”.  
When the function is active, the programme  
type selected last will briefly appear in the  
display and “PTY” will appear permanently.

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-

traffic messages remains active.  
Please note that several buttons have no  
function while a traffic announcement is

“TA” will disappear from the display.  
Automatic seek tuning start

If you leave the reception area for the traffic  
programme station you have tuned into while  
you are listening to a CD, the system will  
automatically start searching for a new traf-
