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

EN

station manually.

 

Frequencies change automatically.

2 Press (AF/TA) until “AF” lights up on the

 

display.

 

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 don’t need to search for an alternative

 

station, turn the AF function off by pressing

 

(AF/TA) until “AF” disappears.

Changing the display item

Each time you press (AF/TA), the displayed items change as follows:

zAF ON z TA ON z AF TA ON* z AF TA OFF Blank Z

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

Notes

•“NO AF” and the station name flashes 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. Press (SEEK/MANU) 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” (regional on) function of this unit 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“ but if you want to turn off the function, do the following.

Press (AF/TA) for more than two seconds until “REG” disappears.

Note that turning the “REG” function off might cause the unit to switch to another regional station within the same network.

Note

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