Comment écouter la radio ?

Placez le commutateur FM/AM/TAPE sur AM ou FM. Utilisez la molette TUNING pour syntoniser la station souhaitée. Pour éteindre la radio, placez le commutateur sur TAPE (RADIO OFF).

Comment utiliser la fonction AVLS ?

L'AVLS (Automatic Volume Limiter System) limite le volume maximum pour protéger votre audition. Réglez le commutateur AVLS sur LIMIT pour l'activer ou sur NORM pour le désactiver.
