Automatic retuning for
best reception results
— AF function
The alternative frequencies (AF) function
allows the radio to always tune into the area’s
strongest signal for the station you are
listening to.
1
Select an FM station (page 13).
2
Press
(AF)
repeatedly until “AF-ON”
appears.
The unit starts searching for an alternative
station with a stronger signal in the same
network.
If “NO AF” flashes, the currently tuned into
station does not have an alternative
frequency.
Notes
• If you want to change the on/off setting while
playing a CD, press
(AF)
.
• When there is no alternative frequency in the
area or when you do not need to search for one,
turn the AF function off by selecting “AF-OFF.”
For stations without alternative
frequencies
Turn the SEEK/AMS control dial 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.
Station
98.5MHz
102.5MHz
96.0MHz
Frequencies change automatically.
Staying with one regional
programme
When AF function is on: this unit’s factory-set
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
(AF)
for
2 seconds until "REG-OFF" appears.
Note
This function does not work in the United
Kingdom and in some other areas.

(6)
) that
has a local station stored on it.
2
Within 5 seconds, press the number
button of the local station again.

Repeat this procedure until the desired
local station is received.
