radio stations with sufficiently strong signals
for good reception.

The LEVEL 4 setting allows reception of only
the strongest stations, while lower settings let
you receive progressively weaker stations.
Note
You can also perform this operation in the menu
that appears by using MULTI-CONTROL.

Selecting alternative frequencies

When the tuner cannot get a good reception,
the unit automatically searches for a different
station in the same network.

function menu.
2 Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn AF on.
# To turn off, press MULTI-CONTROL again.
Notes
! Only RDS stations are tuned in during seek
tuning or BSM when AF is on.
! When you recall a preset station, the tuner
may update the preset station with a new fre-
quency from the station's AF list. No preset
number appears on the display if the RDS
data for the station received differs from that
of the originally stored station.
! During AF search, sound may be temporarily
interrupted.
! AF can be turned on or off independently for
each FM band.
Using PI Seek
If the tuner cannot find a suitable station, or
reception status becomes bad, the unit auto-
matically searches for a different station with
the same programming. During the search,
PI SEEK is displayed and the output is muted.
