The numbers of the preset station buttons showed in order. When all the stations in a certain band are stored in the preset memory, the auto memory entry stops. The tuner then plays the last station received.

NOTE

•When the AF function is turned on whilst auto memory entry takes place, only RDS stations (i.e., stations with RDS capability) are stored. RDS stations that have been preset for FM1 cannot also be preset in FM2 or FM3.

•When the local seek function is turned whilst auto memory entry takes place, stations with poor reception are not stored.

•When the Traffic Information function is on , only the local traffic information station frequency will be stored.

Cancelling Auto Memory Entry During Its Operation:

Press the MENU button whilst auto memory entry is taking place to stop the process.

Recalling a Preset Station:

Press the preset station button (#1-6) for the desired station. The number of the recalled station is displayed.

AF (Alternative Frequency) Function

When poor reception is experienced, automatically switch to another frequency broadcasting the same programme in the same RDS network with better reception.

The ™ indicator lights up when the AF function is turned on.

Display and setting:

"AF ON" : The AF function is on.

"AF OFF" : The AF function is off.

NOTE

•When no other stations with stronger reception are available for the same programme in the RDS network, you may hear the incoming broadcast in bits and snatches. Turn off the AF function in such a case.

•The AF function can be turned on or off even when the standby mode has been turned on. If the power is on, the AF function tunes in to stations that offer good reception.

Restricting RDS Region (Region Restrict Function)

You can choose whether or not to restrict the RDS channels, received with the AF function for a particular network, to a specific region. When the Region Restrict Function is on, the region is restricted and the REG indicator is turned on.

Display and setting:

"Regional ON" : The Region Restrict Function is on.

"Regional OFF" : The Region Restrict Function is off.

NOTE

Sometimes stations in the same network broadcast different programmes or use different programme service names.
