Re-tuning the same programme automatically

— Alternative Frequencies (AF)

The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function automatically selects and re-tunes the station with the strongest signal in a network. By using this function, you can continuously listen to the same programme during a long- distance drive without having to re-tune the station manually.

Frequencies change automatically.

The unit starts searching for an alternative station with a stronger signal in the same network.

Note

When there is no alternative station in the area and you do not need to search for an alternative station, turn the AF function off by pressing (AF/TA) repeatedly until “AF TA off” appears.

Changing the display item

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 (4) (PLAY MODE) repeatedly until “REG” appears.

2 Press (5) (t) 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 return to regional on, select “REG on” in step 2 above.

Note

This function does not work in the United Kingdom and in some other areas.
