Changing the displayed item

Each time you press (AF/TA), the item changes as follows:

” AF-ON ” TA-ON ”AF.TA-ON*

AF.TA-OFF “

*Select this to turn on both the AF and TA functions.

Notes

•“NO AF” and the station name flash alternately, if the unit cannot find an alternative station in the network.

•If the station name starts flashing after selecting a station with the AF function on, this indicates that no alternative frequency is available. Push the SEEK/AMS control up or down while the station name is flashing (within eight seconds). The unit starts searching for another frequency with the same PI (Programme Identification) data (“PI SEEK” appears and no sound is heard). If the unit cannot find another frequency, “NO PI” appears, and the unit returns to the originally selected frequency.

Listening to a regional programme

The “REG-ON” (regional on) function lets you stay tuned to a regional programme without being switched to another regional station. (Note that you must turn the AF function on.) The unit is factory preset to “REG-ON,” but if you want to turn off the function, do the following.

1 Press (SHIFT), then press (3) (PLAY

MODE) repeatedly until “REG” appears.

2 Press (4) (n) repeatedly until “REG-OFF” appears.

3 Press (SHIFT).

Note that selecting “REG-OFF” might cause the unit to switch to another regional station within the same network.

To go back to regional on, select “REG-ON” in step 2 above.
