GB 5.2 Operation of the tuner
Once a CD or a USB flash drive has been inserted, the
unit will automatically be switched to replay from the
CD or USB flash drive. Press the button MODE (3) to
switch between radio reception and replay from the
CD or USB flash drive.
5.2.1 Station tuning and storing
The tuner is able to receive FM and medium wave sta-
tions. To allow storing of more than six stations with
the six station buttons (6, 7, 8, 14, 15), the FM band
has been divided into three identical subbands. In the
three subbands (F 1, F 2, F 3) and in the medium wave
band (MW) six stations can be stored respectively,
thus a total of 18 FM and 6 medium wave stations.
1) Select the desired band with the button BAND (4).
It is recommended to store six stations in the band
F 1 first and then to switch over to the band F 2 and
then to F 3.
2) For station tuning, use either the automatic or man-
ual station finding:
To start the automatic station finding, shortly
press the button (11)
The automatic station finding stops at the next sta-
tion. During the station finding SEARCH is dis-
played. Restart the station finding so many times
until the desired station is received.
For manual station finding keep the button
pressed until MANUAL is shortly displayed. Then
the received frequency can be increased or re -
duced step by step with each pressing of the button
(in the FM band by 50 kHz, in the medium wave
band by 9 kHz). To run quickly through a great area
for manual station finding, keep the button
pressed. After manual station finding the unit
switches to automatic station finding again after a
few seconds unless the button
pressed again before. AUTO is shortly displayed.
3) If the station has been tuned, keep the desired
numerical key (6, 7, 8, 14, 15) pressed until the sta-
tion number and "ch" appear on the right in the dis-
play (see fig. 1). Then the station is stored under
this number in the respective subband.
5.2.2 Calling stored stations
1) Select the band with the button BAND (4) in which
the desired station has been stored.
2) Select the number of the station with the corre-
sponding numerical key (6, 7, 8, 14, 15).
3) Adjust the desired volume with the volume control
LEVEL (17).
4) With a stereo programme, ST appears on the top
left of the display.

5.2.3 RDS functions
If the selected station transmits RDS information
(radio data system), the name of the station is dis-
played instead of the frequency. Some stations show
additional information alternately with the station
name, e. g. music title, artist.
If a station offers traffic programme, TP is dis-
played. If EON (enhanced other networks) is shown
and a programme is received which at present does
not offer a traffic programme, the tuner automatically
switches to another programme of the same broad-
casting station when traffic messages are transmitted
there. After the traffic announcement the unit switches
back to the previous programme.

The display also switches to the basic setting
5 seconds after pressing the button the last time.
This information can also be displayed with the button
DISP while replaying from a CD or USB flash drive.
Alternative frequencies
If AF is continuously displayed (not flashing), the pro-
gramme is also broadcasted on alternative frequen-
cies of neighbouring stations. Then the unit automati-
cally changes to the station which can be received
best. With the button AF/REG (9) this function can be
switched off (AF will be extinguished) and switched on
again.
Some stations temporarily broadcast a different
programme depending on the region, e. g. regional
news. For automatical switching to a station with a bet-
ter reception and at the same time for switching over to
the same regional programme, the regional pro-
gramme mode can be switched on. Keep the button
AF/REG pressed for 3 seconds until REG ON is
shortly displayed. With the mode switched on, REG is
displayed. To switch off the mode, keep the button
AF/REG pressed again for 3 seconds until REG OFF
is shortly displayed.
