Radio
The exterior environment (hills, buildings,

prevent reception, even in RDS station
tracking mode. This phenomenon is
normal in the propagation of radio waves
and is in no way indicative of a fault with
the audio system.
Selecting a station
Select " RDS" and confirm to save.
" RDS " is displayed in the screen.
When the radio is displayed on the
screen, press OK
to display the
contextual menu.
RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue
listening to the same station by automatic
retuning to alternative frequencies.
However, in certain conditions, coverage
of an RDS station may not be assured
throughout the country as radio stations
do not cover 100
% of the territory. This
explains the loss of reception of the
station during a journey.

CDRW, when recording it is preferable to select
standards ISO 9660 level 1. 2 or Joliet.
