example when a cassette tape is being
played, SHUFFLE will not illuminate.
Turn the knob to raise or lower volume. If
the knob is set above a certain volume level
and the ignition is turned off, the volume will
come back on at a nominal listening level
when the ignition is turned back on.

in large cities, but many stations are now
considering broadcasting RDS data.
RDS can display:
cStation name or call-sign, such as
``WHFR 98.3''.
AHA1108
