RADIO
BETA
Local stations
German
broadcasting companies broadcast
some
programmes
that
vary from one re-
gion to the next.
Programme
1 of the NDR broadcasting
company,
for instance, transmits different
regional programmes to Schleswig-Hols-
tein (indicator: "NDR
1
SH"), Hamburg indi-
cator: "NDR1 HH ")and Lower Saxony (indi-
cator: "NDR 1
NDS").
The
radio
first
tries to collect only alternative
frequencies
for the selected station.
However,
if the quality become so bad
that
reception becomes
intermittent,
the radio
will also accept frequencies of a "related"
NDR1
station. As such stations broadcast
different programmes from time to time,
such
a change in frequency can also result
in a different programme being heard.
For
this reason the radios are set up in the
factory so
that
RDS system will only select
regional stations which have identical pro-
gramme content.
If there is a change, however, the "Auto
REG"
setting in the set-up menu must be
activated (see page 10).
General notes
on RDS
reception
• Depending on the strength of the signals
received,
it may take the radio up to several
minutes to evaluate the RDS data.
• In unfavourable reception conditions
(e.g.
in mountainous areas), the radio will
search
for alternative frequencies
with
great regularity. This can give rise to brief
muting.
• In
cases
of extremely bad reception!
where muting and/or distortions are fre-
quent, the RDS can be temporarily
switched off.
•
RDS
always selects the most favourable
frequency from a list of alternative fre-
quencies.
If none of the alternatives pro-
vides
a clear signal, you will, of course, also
hear
interference in RDS mode!
• It is not possible to evaluate RDS data
when the signal received is too weak. In this
case
the frequency will remain in the dis-
play.

Storing
RDS
stations
When
storing
RDS
stations, the appropriate
station
button
should not be pressed
until
the station name appears in the display. This
ensures
that
all RDS information has been
evaluated and, where appropriate, auto-
matically stored.
When selecting stored
RDS
stations,
the respective station name appears. If the
stored frequency is not available, the radio'
automatically selects a suitable alternative
frequency (Best station function).
if
none
of the stored alternative fre-
quencies
are available, the desired station
cannot be received. A different station
should
be selected.
Note
^
Please
ensure
that
the name of the station
is
shown in the display when storing. Other-
wise
any running
text
being displayed, and
not the station name, will be stored along
with
the station data.
