05 RDS

Selecting alternative frequencies

If you are listening to a broadcast and the re- ception becomes weak or there are other pro- blems, the unit will automatically search for a different station in the same network which is broadcasting a stronger signal.

!The default setting for AF is off.

1Use MULTI-CONTROL to select Alternative FREQ in the function menu. Alternative FREQ appears in the display.

2Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn AF on.

ON appears in the display.

# To turn AF off, press MULTI-CONTROL again.

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.

!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 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 com- pletion of the PI Seek, whether or not a differ- ent station is found.

Using Auto PI Seek for preset stations

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 86.

Limiting stations to regional programming

When AF is used to automatically retune fre- quencies, the regional function limits the se- lection to stations broadcasting regional programs.

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

Regional appears in the display.

2Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn the re- gional function on.

ON appears in the display.

# To turn the regional function off, press MULTI-CONTROL again.

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 on the dis- play 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.
