ly will resume play.
Changing the Scan Time
The scan time can be selected from between
5 to a maximum of 30 seconds.
If you would like to alter the scan time, plea-
se refer to the section on “DSC programming
- SCANTIME”.
Automatic bandwidth adjust-
ment (FM)
In the DSC menu, you can use the SHARX
function to adjust the bandwidth in the FM
frequency range. This can be a great ad-
vantage when there are a large number of
stations within your current reception range.
Interference with strong adjacent stations
can be reduced to an absolute minimum if
you activate SHARX ON.
If necessary, refer to the section on “DSC
programming – SHARX”.
PTY - Programme Type
PTY is an RDS service which an increasing
number of more broadcasting stations have
begun to offer. This feature allows you to
select FM stations according to their pro-
gramme type. After you have chosen the
PTY of your preference, the corresponding
stations can be selected either by seek tu-
ning or using the scan function.
Switching PTY on/off
• Press PTY.
When the function is active, the programme
type selected last will appear briefly in the
display and as long as PTY is active, “PTY”
will appear permanently in the display.
Selecting the automatic tuning
sensitivity
You can alter the automatic tuning sensiti-
vity.
If “lo” is displayed, the radio will only pick up
strong, local stations (low sensitivity).
If “lo” does not light up, the radio will also
pick up weaker, more distant stations.
If you would like to alter the sensitivity level
please refer to the section on “DSC pro-
gramming – LO-DX”.
Switching from stereo to mono
(FM)
In the DSC menu, you might get better
sound quality by switching from stereo to
mono. This can be useful in areas where
reception is poor. Each time the radio is
switched on, stereo playback is activated
automatically.
The unit will automatically switch to mono if
the signal received is not strong enough for
stereo playback.
If you would like to switch to mono, refer to
“DSC programming - STEREO/MONO”.
The mode selected is indicated in the dis-
play.
