Automatic retuning for best
reception results

— AF (Alternative Frequencies)

The AF function allows the radio to always tune
into the area's strongest signal for the station you
are listening to.
Frequencies change automatically.
98.5 MHz
Station
1
Select an FM station (page 13).
2
Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until "AF-
ON" appears.
The unit starts searching for an alternative
frequency with a stronger signal in the same
network.
If "NO AF" flashes, the currently tuned
station does not have an alternative frequency.
To cancel the AF function, select "AF, TA-OFF."
Tips
• If "AF-ON" is selected, traffic announcements are
cancelled. To activate the traffic announcements
with the AF function, select "AF, TA-ON."
• If you want to change the on/off setting while playing
a CD, press (AF/TA).
96.0 MHz
102.5 MHz
For stations without alternative
frequencies
Press (SEEK) (+) or (SEEK) (–) while
the station name is flashing (within 8
seconds).
The unit starts searching for another
frequency with the same PI (Programme
Identification) data ("PI SEEK" appears).
If the unit cannot find the same PI, the unit
returns to the previously selected frequency.
Staying with one regional programme
When the AF function is on: this unit's factory
setting restricts reception to a specific region, so
you won't be switched to another regional station
with a stronger frequency.
If you leave this regional programme's reception
area or would like to take advantage of the whole
AF function, press (SEL) and (AF/TA)
simultaneously until "REG-OFF" appears.
Note
This function does not work in the United Kingdom
and in some other areas.
