RDS
Notes
!If you do not operate the function within about 30 seconds, the display is automatically re- turned to the frequency display.
!RDS service may not be provided by all sta- tions.
!RDS functions such as AF and TA are only ac-
tive when your radio is tuned to an RDS station.
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 on.

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 71.
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.
