remot control briefly, the AF switchingmode is selected and the state of the AF
switching mode is displayed by AF segment.
Segment off: AF switching mode off.
Segment on: AF switching mode on, and has RDS information.
Segment flashing: AF switching mode on, but RDS information is not received yet.
When the AF switching mode is selected, the radio checks the signal strength
of the AF all the time. The interval of checking time of each AFs depends on
the signal strength of the current station, from a few minute for the strong
station to a few seconds for the weak station. Every time that a new AF is
stronger than the current station, it switches over to that frequency for very
short time, and the NEW FREQUENCY is displayed for 1-2 second. Because
the mute time of the AF switching or the checking time is very short, it is
almost inaudible in case of normal program. (When AF flash on LCD, it will
search for the stronger RDS station. If AF and TP flash on LCD, it can only
search for the traffic announcement station).
In FM mode, when AF is on, SEEK, (SCAN), AUTO-MEMORY function can
only receive and save the RDS program.
