Operating this unit

Storing the strongest broadcast frequencies

BSM (best stations memory) lets you automatically store the six strongest broadcast
frequencies under 1 to 6 on the remote control and once stored there you can tune in
to those frequencies with the touch of a button.
• Storing broadcast frequencies with BSM may replace broadcast frequencies you
have saved using 1 to 6 on the remote control.
1. Use MULTI-CONTROL to select BSM in the function menu.
2. Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn BSM on.
Six strongest broadcast frequencies will be stored in the order of their signal strength.
• To cancel the storage process, press MULTI-CONTROL again.
3. Use MULTI-CONTROL to select the desired station.
Turn to change the station; press to select.
• You can also change the station by pushing MULTI-CONTROL up or down.

Tuning in strong signals

Local seek tuning lets you tune in only those radio stations with sufficiently strong
signals for good reception.
1. Use MULTI-CONTROL to select Local in the function menu.
2. Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn local seek tuning on.
• To turn local seek tuning off, press MULTI-CONTROL again.
3. Push MULTI-CONTROL left or right to set the sensitivity.
There are four levels of sensitivity for FM and two levels for MW/LW:
FM: Level 1 – Level 2 – Level 3 – Level 4
MW/LW: Level 1 – Level 2
The Level 4 setting allows reception of only the strongest stations, while lower settings
let you receive progressively weaker stations.

Selecting alternative frequencies

When the tuner can't get good reception, the unit automatically search for a different
station in a same network.
1. Use MULTI-CONTROL to select Alternative FREQ in the function menu.
2. Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn AF on.
• To turn AF 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
frequency 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.
• Sound may be temporarily interrupted by another program during an AF frequency search.
• AF can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.
Using PI Seek
If the tuner can't find a suitable station, or reception status becomes bad, the unit will
automatically search for a different station with a same programming. During the
search, PI seek is displayed and the output is muted.
Using Auto PI Seek for preset stations
When preset stations cannot be recalled, as when travelling long distances, the unit
can be set to perform PI Seek during preset recall.
• The default setting for Auto PI Seek is off. See "Switching Auto PI Seek" on page 27.
Limiting stations to regional programming
When AF is used, the regional function limits the selection of stations broadcasting
regional programs.
1. Use MULTI-CONTROL to select Regional in the function menu.
2. Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn the regional function on.
• To turn the regional function off, press MULTI-CONTROL again.
Notes
• Regional programming and regional networks are organized differently depending on the
country (i.e., they may change according to the hour, state or broadcast area).
• The preset number may disappear from the display if the tuner tunes in a regional station
which differs from the originally set station.
• The regional function can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.
