Retuning the same
programme automatically

— Alternative Frequencies (AF)

The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function
automatically selects and retunes 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 retune the
station manually.
Frequencies change automatically.
98.5MHz
102.5MHz
Station
1
Select an FM station (page 10).
2
Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until "AF on"
appears.
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 displayed item
Each time you press (AF/TA), the item changes
as follows:
* Select this to turn on both the AF and TA
functions.
Notes
• When "NO AF" and the station name flash
alternately, it means that 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 previously
selected frequency.
Listening to a regional programme
The "REG on" (regional on) function lets you
96.0MHz
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.

During radio reception, press (SHIFT),
then press (4) (PLAY MODE) repeatedly
until "REG" appears.
2
Press (5) (n) repeatedly until "REG off"
appears.

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.

Kingdom and in some other areas.
