NOTES ON RADIO RECEPTION
Your radio will be subject to certain phenom-
ena that are not encountered by domestic
systems.
The reception of AM and FM signals may
suffer from interference, which is caused
by the nature and propagation of the signals
and does not refl ect on the quality of your
radio installation.
In AM, the reception may be affected when
passing under power lines or bridges, or
when travelling through tunnels.
In FM mode, the reception may be affected
by the distance from the station transmit-
ter, the refl ecting of signals off obstacles
(mountains, hills, tower blocks) and radio
blackspots (no coverage from the station
transmitter).

AUTOMATIC SEARCH
A short press on one of the buttons

will tune into higher or lower radio stations
respectively, within the chosen waveband.
By keeping button

once the button is released.
You can also do this by means of the controls
