RDS

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.

1Press and hold TA/AF for about two sec- onds to turn AF on.

AF is displayed.

2Press and hold TA/AF for about two sec- onds to turn AF off.

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 band.) No preset number appears on the dis- play 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.

Using Auto PI Seek for preset stations

When present 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 19.

Limiting stations to regional program- ming

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

Press and hold DISP/REG for about two sec- onds to turn the regional function on/off.

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 display if the tuner tunes in a regional station which differs from the originally set station.

REG can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.
