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.
