Regional programming and regional net-
works are organized differently depending
on the country or area (they may be changed
according to the hour, state, or broadcast

gional programs automatically, you can set
up REG ON not to receive regional pro-
grams.

from UKW mode, and while pressing the V
side of the TUNE/SEEK button (5), press the

PI (Program Identification) search
function
When traveling long distance and the re-
called preset station is weak, radio searches
another frequency broadcasting the same

If there are no frequencies broadcasting the
same programming, the radio searches a
frequency broadcasting the regional pro-
gramming. The radio succeeds in searching
the regional programming, then the display
shows the REG indicator (10).
If the radio does not succeed in searching
the regional programming, the radio returns
to the recalled preset station.
