!Sound may be temporarily interrupted by an- other program during an AF frequency search.
!AF can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.
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
Receiving PTY alarm broadcasts
When the emergency PTY code broadcasts, the unit receives it automatically (ALARM ap- pears). When the broadcasting ends, the sys- tem returns to the previous source.
!An emergency announcement can be can- celed by pressing TA.
When preset stations cannot be recalled, as when travelling long distances, the unit can be set to perform PI Seek during preset recall.
!The default setting for Auto PI Seek is off. See Switching Auto PI Seek on page 13.
Limiting stations to regional programming
Selecting alternative frequencies
When the tuner can’t get good reception, the unit automatically search for a different sta- tion in a same network.
%Press and hold TA repeatedly to turn AF (alternative frequency search) on or off.
Notes
!You can also turn the AF function on or off in the menu that appears with the pressing of
FUNCTION.
!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. (This is only available when using presets on the F1 or F2 bands.) No preset number appears on the dis- play if the RDS data for the station received differs from that for the originally stored sta- tion.
When AF is used, the regional function limits the selection of stations broadcasting regional programs.
1Press FUNCTION to select REG.
2Press a or b to turn the regional func- tion on or off.
Notes
!Regional programming and regional networks are organized differently depending on the country (i.e., they may change according to the hour, state or broadcast area).
!The preset number may disappear from the display if the tuner tunes in a regional station which differs from the originally set station.
!The regional function can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.
