Notes on radio reception
Your radio will be subject to certain phenomena that are not encoun-tered by domestic systems.
The reception of AM and FM sig-nals may suffer from interference, which is caused by the nature and propagation of the signals and does not refl ect on the quality of your radio installation.
In AM, the reception may be af-fected when passing under power lines or bridges, or when travelling through tunnels.
In FM mode, the reception may be affected by the distance from the station transmitter, the refl ecting of signals off obstacles (mountains, hills, tower blocks) and radio blacks-pots (no coverage from the station transmitter).
Selection of radio source
Press button D to select the source.
Selection of frequencies and memory banks
Press button E successively to go through the memory banks FM1, FM2 and FM3, for the FM wave-band, and the memory banks MW/LW, for the AM waveband.
Manual search
Manual search is via buttons J or M.
By keeping button J or M pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. Scrolling will stop as soon as you release the button. The radio will remain tuned to the frequency that is displayed.
Tuning sensitivity
Automatic searches can be car-ried out according to two levels of sensitivity :
- To capture the most powerful trans-mitters, choose the local search mode “LO” (default option).
- To capture the weakest or most distant transmitters, choose the sensitive search mode “DX”.
Search for a station is done fi rst in “LO” (local) sensitivity, then in “DX” (distant) sensitivity.
To commence a search in sensi-tivity “DX” (distant) immediately , press twice in succession on one of the buttons K or N.
Automatic search
A short press on one of the but-tons K or N will tune into higher or lower radio stations respectively, within the chosen waveband.
By keeping button K or N pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. The scrolling will stop at the fi rst station it fi nds once the button is released.
You can also do this by means of control 2 at the steering wheel.
If the automatic search is unable to tune into a known frequency (perhaps owing to very weak re-ception), it is possible to search manually to fi nd this station.
Display and selection of a station available in the area in which you are travelling
Briefl y press on button G to bring up a list of stations, this is updated every 10 minutes.
You can also update this list at any time by giving a long press on button G.
To listen to one of these stations, select by pressing buttons J or Mand validate using button L.
