There are four levels of sensitivity for FM and two levels for MW/LW:

The LOCAL 4 setting allows reception of only the strongest stations, while lower

off.

RDS
Introduction of RDS operation
RDS (radio data system) is a system for providing information along with FM
broadcasts. This inaudible information provides such features as program service
name, program type, traffic announcement standby and automatic tuning, and is
intended to aid radio listeners in finding and tuning in to a desired station.
* Press FUNCTION to display the function names.
Press FUNCTION repeatedly to switch between the following functions:
BSM (best stations memory) – REG (regional) – LOCAL (local seek tuning) – TA
(traffic announcement standby) – AF (alternative frequencies search)
• To return to the frequency display, press BAND.
• If MW/LW band is selected, you can only select BSM or LOCAL.
Notes
• If you do not operate the function within about 30 seconds, the display is automatically
returned to the frequency display.
• RDS service may not be provided by all stations.
• RDS functions such as AF and TA are only active when your radio is tuned to an RDS
station.
