USING THE RADIO Connecting an antenna POWER Before you can start listening to radio stations, you must connect an antenna to the MCS-600. The receiver is able to receive both FM and AM radio. It is therefore possible to connect both an AM and a FM antenna to the receiver. AUTO AUTO 1. FM antenna input. Connect the included FM antenna whip to this input. Adjust the position of the antenna whip until optimum reception is achieved.
USING THE RADIO RDS (Radio Data System) RDS is a method for the transmission of additional information from Radio Stations. It is only available in FM mode.
