Using PI Seek
If the tuner can’t find a suitable station, or re-
ception status becomes bad, the unit will auto-
matically search for a different station with a
same programming. During the search,
PI SEEK is displayed and the output is muted.
Using Auto PI Seek for preset stations
When preset stations cannot be recalled, as
when travelling long distances, the unit can
be set to perform PI Seek during preset recall.
