If one of these functions is not supported despite reception of an RDS signal, „N/A" will appear in the
display.

3 1/2 hours after the last time it was operated (via the controls on the unit or via the remote control).
This function implements an EU energy-saving regulation (1275/2008 EC), reducing power consumption
if the device is accidentally left turned on after use.
This function can be deactivated as follows:
Press the DIM button on the device for around 5 seconds. APO MODE OFF appears in the display.
Pressing the button again for around 5 seconds activates the function again.
APO MODE ON then appears in the display.
