Sound Space!
■Radio The newly developed Alpha tuner enhances the reception sensitivity of FM broadcasts.
It is also less affected by receiving conditions inside and outside the vehicle.
■RDS The sensitivity in the AF mode is adjustable and the region-to-region signal strength is
memorized, which means the automatic best program reception can be achieved.
