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.

! During AF search, sound may be temporarily

interrupted.

! AF can be turned on or off independently for

each FM band.

Using PI Seek

If the tuner cannot find a suitable station, or
reception status becomes bad, the unit auto-
matically searches for a different station with
the 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, the
unit can be set to perform PI Seek during pre-
set recall.
! The default setting for Auto PI Seek is off.

Refer to Switching Auto PI Seek on page 39.

the selection of stations broadcasting regional
programs.

in the function menu.
Refer to Introduction to advanced operations
on the previous page.

Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn the re-

gional function on.

# To turn 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.
