AUDIO
Radio reception
Your audio equipment will
be subjected to phenomena
which do not affect domestic radio
sets. Both MW/LW and FM reception
are subject to various forms of inter-
ference. This is no refl ection on the
quality of the equipment but is due to
the nature of the signals and the way
in which they are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be noticed when passing under high voltage
power lines or bridges, or in tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the result of increasing distance from the
transmitter, defl ection of the signal
by obstacles (mountains, hills, buildings, etc) or of being in an area which
is not covered by a transmitter.
Automatic storing of FM
stations (autostore)
Press this button.
Your audio equipment
automatically stores
the six best transmit-
ters received on AM and FM in your
current location. These stations are
stored on the AM and FM3 wave-
bands. The end of the search is signalled by two audible signals.
Recalling stored stations
On each waveband, a brief press on
one of the buttons "1" to "6" recalls
the corresponding stored station.
If it was not possible to fi nd
six transmitters, the remaining memories remain empty:
three dashes are displayed
on the audio equipment screen for
each empty memory.

Regional mode (REG)
Some stations, organised in a network,
broadcast regional programmes in the
various regions which they serve. The
regional mode enables you to continue
listening to the same programme.
Search by type of programme
(PTY)
This enables you to listen to stations which broadcast a type of programme which has a theme (NEWS,
SPORTS, TALK, POP, CLASSICS).
EON system
This system links stations which belong to the same network. It permits
the transmission of traffi c information
broadcast by a station which belongs
to the same network as the station to
which you are listening.
In order to benefi t from this, select the
traffi c information programme TA .
Using the AF (alternative
frequency) function on the FM
waveband
The RDS (Radio Data System) en-
ables you to continue listening to the
same station irrespective of the frequency that it uses in your current
location. The audio equipment continuously searches for the transmitter
which provides the best reception.
Press this button successively to activate
or deactivate the function.
On FM, the multifunction display will
indicate:
- "TP" or "TP EON" : the radio
transmits a programme while
awaiting the broadcasting of
traffi c information.
- "TA" or "TA EON" : the pro-
gramme transmitted by the radio
is put on standby while awaiting
