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. (This is only
available when using presets on the
FM1
or
FM2
bands.) No preset number appears on
the display if the RDS data for the station re-
ceived differs from that for the originally
stored station.
!
Sound may be temporarily interrupted by an-
other program during a 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,
PISEEK
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.

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 on the dis-
play 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.
