Tuning in strong signals

Local seek tuning lets you tune in only those radio stations with sufficiently strong
signals for good reception.
1. Press FUNCTION to select LOCAL.
Press FUNCTION until LOCAL appears in the display.
2. Press 8 to turn local seek tuning on.
Local seek sensitivity (e.g., LOCAL 2) appears in the display.
3. Press 4 or 6 to set the sensitivity.
There are four levels of sensitivity for FM and two levels for MW/LW:
FM: LOCAL 1 – LOCAL 2 – LOCAL 3 – LOCAL 4
MW/LW: LOCAL 1 – LOCAL 2
The LOCAL 4 setting allows reception of only the strongest stations, while lower
settings let you receive progressively weaker stations.
4. When you want to return to normal seek tuning, press 2 to turn local seek tuning
off.
LOCAL:OFF appears in the display.

Storing the strongest broadcast frequencies

BSM (best stations memory) lets you automatically store the six strongest broadcast
frequencies under preset tuning buttons 1–6. Once stored you can tune in to those
frequencies with the touch of button.
1. Press FUNCTION to select BSM.
Press FUNCTION until BSM appears in the display.
2. Press 8 to turn BSM on.
BSM begins to flash. While BSM is flashing the six strongest broadcast frequencies
will be stored under preset tuning buttons 1–6 in the order of their signal strength.
When finished, BSM stops flashing.
• To cancel the storage process, press 2.
Note
• Storing broadcast frequencies with BSM may replace broadcast frequencies you have
saved using buttons 1– 6.

RDS

Introduction of RDS operation

RDS (radio data system) is a system for providing information along with FM
broadcasts. This inaudible information provides such features as program service
name, program type, traffic announcement standby and automatic tuning, and is
intended to aid radio listeners in finding and tuning in to a desired station.
Program service name
Shows the name of broadcast
program.
TP indicator
Shows when a TP station is tuned
in.
TA :ON indicator
Shows when TA (traffic
announcement standby) function is
on.
AF indicator
Shows when AF (alternative
frequencies search) function is on.
* Press FUNCTION to display the function names.
Press FUNCTION repeatedly to switch between the following functions:
BSM (best stations memory) – REG (regional) – LOCAL (local seek tuning) – TA
(traffic announcement standby) – AF (alternative frequencies search)
• To return to the frequency display, press BAND.
• If MW/LW band is selected, you can only select BSM or LOCAL.
Notes
• If you do not operate the function within about 30 seconds, the display is automatically
returned to the frequency display.
• RDS service may not be provided by all stations.
• RDS functions such as AF and TA are only active when your radio is tuned to an RDS
station.
