Storing the strongest broadcast frequencies

BSM (best stations memory) lets you automa- tically store the six strongest broadcast fre- quencies.

stored in the order of their signal strength.

Tuning in strong signals

Local seek tuning lets you tune in only those radio stations with sufficiently strong signals for good reception.

%Press LOCAL repeatedly to select the desired setting.

FM: OFF—LEVEL1—LEVEL2—LEVEL3—

LEVEL4

MW/LW: OFF—LEVEL1—LEVEL2

The LEVEL4 setting allows reception of only the strongest stations, while lower settings let you receive progressively weaker stations.

Note

You can also perform this operation in the menu that appears by using MULTI-CONTROL.

Selecting alternative frequencies

When the tuner cannot get a good reception, the unit automatically searches for a different station in the same network.

Notes

!Only RDS stations are tuned in during seek tuning or BSM when AF is on.

!When you recall a preset station, the tuner may update the preset station with a new fre- quency from the station’s AF list. No preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the station received differs from that of the originally stored station.

!During AF search, sound may be temporarily interrupted.

!AF can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.

Using PI Seek

If the tuner cannot find a suitable station, or reception status becomes bad, the unit auto- matically searches for a different station with the 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, the unit can be set to perform PI Seek during pre- set recall.

!The default setting for Auto PI Seek is off. See Switching Auto PI Seek on page 25.

Limiting stations to regional programming

When AF is used, the regional function limits the selection of stations broadcasting regional programs.

1Use MULTI-CONTROL to select REGIONAL in the function menu.

gional function on.
