AF Button 
In some cases, an RDS station is part of a network of stations broadcasting the same programming (for example, BBC1 program- ming in the UK may be available at several different frequencies). Stations broadcasting this programming may transmit an RDS data signal providing the tuner with a list of al- ternate frequencies where this programming is available. If this data list is transmitted, an AF indicator will appear in the DISPLAY.
The AF button is used to scan the alternate frequencies to find a stronger signal. The button is only functional when the AF indi- cator is lit.
1.Press the AF button. The tuner will scan each of the alternate frequencies for the same programming in the stored list and tune to the strongest signal.
2.If no station is located, the tuner will return to the last previously tuned station.
3.If the signal strength of the new station is weaker, the tuner will revert to the previously tuned station.
4.Cancel the AF function by pressing any button (except DIMMER or FM MONO).
Additional Tuning Features
The following buttons provide features which may be used to improve FM reception and/ or provide additional functionality:
FM MONO Button 
The FM MONO button changes the FM mode from stereo reception to mono reception. In stereo mode, a stereo signal will be heard if the station is broadcasting a stereo sig- nal and there is sufficient signal strength. A stereo indicator will light in the front panel display. In mono mode, a mono signal will be heard even if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal.
NOTE: Switching to mono mode can be a useful way to improve the reception of weak or distant FM signals. Less signal strength is required for clean mono reception than for stereo reception.
ANT ATT Button 
Commonly known as a LOC/DISTANCE switch, the ANT/ATT button reduces the sig- nal level at the FM antenna input. For the best reception of stations located some dis- tance away, this button should be in the default or OFF position. However, if you are located in an urban area very close to the radio transmitter, the incoming signal may be high enough to overload the FM inputs. Press this button to reduce the incoming sig- nal. When activated, a LOC indicator will appear in the DISPLAY. Press the button again to toggle back to normal operation. This switch only effects FM reception.
