5 Operation
1) Switch on the amplifier or the basic unit with the
mains switch and the insertion module with the
POWER button (2). The red POWER LED (1) and
the display (8) light up.
2) Adjust the desired volume with the volume control
LEVEL (9).
3) To switch off, press the POWER button again.
5.1 Station tuning and storing
The tuner is able to receive FM and medium wave sta-
tions. To allow storing of more than six stations with
the six station buttons (7), the FM band has been
divided into three identical subbands. In the three sub-
bands (F 1, F 2, F 3) and in the medium wave band
(MW) six stations can be stored respectively, thus a
total of 18 FM and 6 medium wave stations.
1) Select the desired band with the button BAND (3).
It is recommended to store six stations in the band
F 1 first and then to switch over to the band F 2 and
then to F 3.
2) For station tuning, use either the automatic or man-
ual station finding:
To start the automatic station finding, shortly
press the button (6)
ward). The automatic station finding stops at the
next station. During the station finding SEARCH is
displayed. Restart the station finding so many times
until the desired station is received.
For manual station finding keep the button
pressed until MANUAL is shortly displayed.
Then the received frequency can be increased or
re duced step by step with each pressing of the but-
ton (in the FM band by 50 kHz, in the medium wave
band by 9 kHz). To run quickly through a great area
for manual station finding, keep the button
pressed. After manual station finding the unit
switches to automatic station finding again after a
few seconds unless the button
pressed again before. AUTO is shortly displayed.
3) If the station has been tuned, keep the desired but-
ton M 1 – M 6 (7) pressed until the station number
and "ch" appear on the right in the display (see
fig. 1). Then the station is stored under this number
in the respective subband.

5.2 Calling stored stations
1) Select the band with the button BAND (3) in which
the desired station has been stored.
2) Select the number of the station with the corre-
sponding button M 1 – M 6 (7).
3) Adjust the desired volume with the volume control
LEVEL (9).
4) With a stereo programme, ST appears on the top
left of the display.

5.3 RDS functions

If the selected station transmits RDS information
(radio data system), the name of the station is dis-
played instead of the frequency. Some stations show
additional information alternately with the station
name, e. g. music title, artist.
If a station offers traffic programme, TP is dis-
played. If EON (enhanced other networks) is shown
and a programme is received which at present does
not offer a traffic programme, the tuner automatically
switches to another programme of the same broad-
casting station when traffic messages are transmitted
there. After the traffic announcement the unit switches
back to the previous programme.
5.3.1 Alternative frequencies
If AF is continuously displayed (not flashing), the pro-
gramme is also broadcasted on alternative frequen-
cies of neighbouring stations. Then the unit automati-
cally changes to the station which can be received
best. With the button AF/REG (5) this function can be
switched off (AF will be extinguished) and switched on
again.
Some stations temporarily broadcast a different
programme depending on the region, e. g. regional
news. For automatical switching to a station with a bet-
ter reception and at the same time for switching over to
the same regional programme, the regional pro-
gramme mode can be switched on. Keep the button
AF/REG pressed for 3 seconds until REG ON is
shortly displayed. With the mode switched on, REG is
displayed. To switch off the mode, keep the button
AF/REG pressed again for 3 seconds until REG OFF
is shortly displayed.
