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.
“SEARCH” will disappear from the display
when the alternative frequency has been
found or after the frequency band has run
through completely.
If the reception quality of the programme
selected deteriorates beyond a certain point:
Tune into another station.
REG - Regional programme
Certain radio programmes are split up at
different times during the day into regional
programmes offering local information. The
1st programme broadcast by NDR, for ex-
ample, offers programmes with different
contents in the northern 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,
press AF for approx. 2 sec.
“REG ON” will appear in the display.
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”.
Selecting the operating mode
Use  SRC  (source) to select between the
radio and CD mode.
The CD mode is not available unless a CD
has been inserted into the CD player.
To select the operating mode:
Press SRC.
Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System enhances your en-
joyment when you listen to FM radio stati-
ons.
More and more radio stations now broad-
cast RDS information along with their regu-
lar programming.
As soon as a programme has been identi-
fied, the station name including a regional
identifier, if applicable, will appear in the dis-
play, for example, NDR1 NDS (regional pro-
gramme in Lower Saxony, Germany).
When RDS is activated, the station selec-
tion keys become programme keys. You
now know exactly which programme you
have tuned into, making it easy to find the
desired station quickly.
But RDS also offers you further advantages:
AF - Alternative frequency
The AF (Alternative  Frequency) function
makes sure that the radio always automati-
cally tunes into the strongest frequency for
the currently selected programme.
If this function is activated, “AF” will appear
in the display.
To switch AF on/off,
press AF briefly.
While searching for the strongest reception
signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.
