Automatic retuning for best reception results

—AF function

The alternative frequencies (AF) function allows the radio to always tune into the area’s strongest signal for the station you are listening to.

Frequencies change automatically.

98.5MHz

96.0MHz

Station

102.5MHz

1 Select an FM station (page 10).2 Press (AF) repeatedly until “AF-ON” appears.

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

If “NO AF” flashes, the currently tuned into station does not have an alternative frequency.

Notes

•If you want to change the on/off setting while playing a CD, press (AF).

•When there is no alternative frequency in the area or when you do not need to search for one, turn the AF function off by selecting “AF-OFF.”

For stations without alternative frequencies

Press either side of (SEEK/AMS) while the station name is flashing (within

8 seconds).

The unit starts searching for another frequency with the same PI (Programme Identification) data (“PI SEEK” appears). If the unit cannot find the same PI, the unit returns to the previously selected frequency.

Staying with one regional programme

When AF function is on: this unit’s factory-set setting restricts reception to a specific region, so you won’t be switched to another regional station with a stronger frequency.

If you leave this regional programme’s reception area or would like to take advantage of the whole AF function, press (AF) for

2 seconds until “REG-OFF” appears.

Note

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

Local Link function (United Kingdom only)

This function enables you to select other local stations in the area, even if they are not stored on your number buttons.

1 Press a number button ((1) to (6)) that has a local station stored on it.

2 Within 5 seconds, press the number button of the local station again.

3 Repeat this procedure until the desired local station is received.
