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 signals may suffer from interference, which is caused by the nature and propa-gation of the signals and does not refl ect on the quality of your radio installation.
In AM, the reception may be affected 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.
You can also do this by means of control 5 at the steering wheel.
SELECTION OF FREQUENCIES AND MEMORY BANKS

MANUAL SEARCH
Manual search is via buttons Jor 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 carried out according to two levels of sen-sitivity:To capture the most powerful transmitters, choose the local search mode "LO" (default option).
