RDS
Notes
! If you do not operate the function within about
30 seconds, the display is automatically re-
turned to the frequency display.
! RDS service may not be provided by all sta-
tions.
! RDS functions such as AF and TA are only ac-
tive when your radio is tuned to an RDS
station.
Selecting alternative
frequencies
If you are listening to a broadcast and the re-
ception becomes weak or there are other pro-
blems, the unit will automatically search for a
different station in the same network which is
broadcasting a stronger signal.
! The default setting for AF is on.
1 Use MULTI-CONTROL to select
Alternative FREQ in the function menu.
Alternative FREQ appears in the display.
2 Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn AF on.
AF ON appears in the display.
# 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 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.
! Sound may be temporarily interrupted by an-
other program during an AF frequency
search.
! AF can be turned on or off independently for
each FM band.

Using PI Seek

If the unit fails to find a suitable alternative fre-
quency, or if you are listening to a broadcast
and the reception becomes weak, the unit will
automatically search for a different station
with the same programming. During the
search, PI SEEK is displayed and the output is
muted. The muting is discontinued after com-
pletion of the PI Seek, whether or not a differ-
ent station is found.
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 71.
Limiting stations to regional
programming
When AF is used to automatically retune fre-
quencies, the regional function limits the se-
lection to stations broadcasting regional
programs.
1 Use MULTI-CONTROL to select Regional
in the function menu.
Regional appears in the display.
2 Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn the re-
gional function on.
ON appears in the display.
# To turn the regional function off, press
MULTI-CONTROL again.
