Switching the RDS display

When you tune in a RDS station its program service name is displayed. If you want to know the frequency you can.

Press DISPLAY.

Press DISPLAY repeatedly to switch between the following settings:

Program service name—PTY information— Frequency

PTY (program type ID code) information is listed on page 17.

•PTY information and the frequency of the current station appears on the display for eight seconds.

•If a PTY code of zero is received from a station, NONE is displayed. This indicates that the sta- tion has not defined its program contents.

•If the signal is too weak for this unit to pick up the PTY code, NO PTY is displayed.

Selecting alternative frequencies

If you are listening to a broadcast and the recep- tion becomes weak or there are other problems, the unit will automatically search for a different station in the same network which is broadcast- ing a stronger signal.

• AF is on as a default.

1 Press FUNCTION to select AF.

Press FUNCTION until AF appears in the dis- play.

2 Press 5 to turn AF on.

Press 5 and AF :ON is displayed.

3 Press ∞ to turn AF off.

Press ∞ and AF :OFF is displayed.

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 frequency from the station’s AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the F1 or F2 band.) No preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the station received differs from that for the originally stored sta- tion.

•Sound may be temporarily interrupted by another program during a AF frequency search.

•When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station the AF indicator flashes.

•AF can be switched on or off independently for each FM band.

Using PI seek

If the unit fails to find a suitable alternative fre- quency, or if you are listening to a broadcast and the reception becomes weak, the unit will automatically search for a different station with the same programming. During the search, PI SEEK is displayed and the output is muted. The muting is discontinued after completion of the PI seek, whether or not a different station is found.
