- If you selected a specific program type (PTY, e.g. news, sports, classic, etc.) in the "PROG TYP" menu, the tuner automatically searches the next station broadcasting this program type in the selected direction. For this purpose, the station must be broadcasting the corresponding PTY identification as RDS service.
- If you activated the automatic change to alternative frequencies in the "RDS" menu, the tuner searches for the same station on a different frequency.

Changing the waveband (BAND)
The tuner can receive FM and AM. To switch between these wavebands:
In the "TUNER" menu, press the softkey ⑦ (next to "BAND").
Select the desired band by pressing the corresponding softkey.
FM
AM
You can now do the following in this waveband:
- Searching stations (page 23).
- Storing stations (page 25).
- Calling up stored stations (page 25).
Allowing alternative frequencies (RDS)
The device can automatically switch to an alternative frequency (AF) of the same station if the reception becomes poor.
Press the softmax in the "TUNER" menu (next to "RDS").
- "RDS ON": The device automatically adjusts the best receivable frequency of the station, provided that the station supports the "AF" RDS function.
- "RDS OFF": The device does not change the frequency.
Searching FM stations automatically and storing them in the FMT memory bank (T-STORE)
You can automatically store the six FM stations offering the strongest reception in the region in the FMT memory bank.
In the "TUNER" menu, press the softkey (10) (next to "T-STORE")
The main line A displays "TRAVEL STORE...". The tuner automatically searches the six strongest FM stations and stores them in the FMT memory bank. After the storing is completed, the radio plays the station at memory location 1 of the FMT level. Stations that were previously stored in the
FMT memory bank are automatically deleted.
Changing the seek tuning sensitivity (SENS)
The seek tuning sensitivity determines whether the automatic station seek tuning locates only strong stations or also weaker stations, which may be degraded by a high noise level.
Change to the second page of the "TUNER" menu by pressing the NEXT button 6.
In the "TUNER" menu, repeatedly press the softkey (next to "SENS").
The "SENSITIVITY" menu appears.
Press the softmax (7) (next to "FM") to set the seek tuning sensitivity for FM stations or press the softmax (12) (next to "AM") to set the seek tuning sensitivity for AM stations.
Each seek tuning sensitivity can be adjusted in six increments.
- "1": Low seek tuning sensitivity. During a station seek tuning (see page 23), only local strong stations are found.
- "6": High seek tuning sensitivity. Poor, remote stations are also found.
Activating/deactivating improved reception (HIGH CUT)
The High Cut function results in an improved reception in case of weak radio reception (FM only).
Change to the second page of the "TUNER" menu by pressing the NEXT button (6).
In the "TUNER" menu, repeatedly press the softkey ⑦ (next to "HIGH CUT").
- "1": The High Cut function is switched on and has a low response sensitivity. If the reception is very poor, the interference level is automatically decreased.
- "2": The High Cut function is switched on and has a high response sensitivity. If the reception is poor, the interference level is automatically decreased.
- "0": The High cut function is switched off.
Restricting station seek tuning to certain programme contents (PROG TYP)
Change to the second page of the "TUNER" menu by pressing the NEXT button ⑥.
In the "TUNER" menu, press the softkey (next to "PROG TYP").

- "MONO OFF": The stereo operation is activated. You are listening in stereo if the station broadcasts in stereo.
Note:
If you switch on the device, this setting is automatically set to stereo operation.
Operating the integrated CD player
The device can play the following CD formats:
- CD audio (some CDs with copy protection cannot be played)
- CD-R or CD-RW with MP3 or WMA files (without DRM copy protection only)
Note:
The quality of self-burnt CDs fluctuates due to different CD blanks, CD burner software, and burn speeds. For this reason, it is possible that the device cannot play some self-burnt CDs.
If you cannot play a CD-R/CD-RW:
- Use blanks from a different manufacturer or a different colour.
- Burn CD-Rs at a lower speed.
What features do MP3 or WMA CDs have to have?

- There must be true silence during the measurement since external noise falsify the measurement. For this reason, close all windows, doors, and the sliding sunroof. Switch off the
engine, but leave the ignition switched on.
- The temperature inside the vehicle must be below 55^ C .
- All the loudspeakers must be connected. The sound radiating from the loudspeakers must not be obstructed by any objects.
Position the measurement microphone
- for the driver only - 10 cm next to the right ear of the driver,
-
for driver and passenger - exactly between both at the head level,
-
for passengers in the front and rear - at the head level in the center of the vehicle.

Glossary
AF - Alternative frequency
The range of FM stations is limited. For this reason, FM programmes are distributed to different frequencies. The AF RDS service sends these frequencies to the tuner. If the reception deteriorates because the vehicle leaves the reception area of a frequency, the tuner can automatically change to the best receivable frequency.
DEQmaxEx - Digital parametric equalizer with variable filter quality
This function allows for a maximum of exact frequency optimisation, so that the sound spectrum can be adjusted to the vehicle or your individual taste.
Quality factor Q
It determines the filter quality of the equalizer, i.e. the edge steepness and filter bandwidth, dependent upon the characteristic frequency.
ID3 tags
ID3 tags contain additional information for MP3 files (e.g. artist, title, album, genre, year).
Mass storage device
Format for storage media that can permanently store large amounts of data, such as USB removable storage devices (USB stick or USB hard disk).
