Network-Tracking reception

To select Network-Tracking mode, press the RDS button for more than 1 second.

• Mode 1 (AF (Alternative Frequencies): on/REG: off):

Network-Tracking is activated. Switches between stations belonging to the network being received.

Note:

• In Mode 1, the br oadcast ma y switch between dif ferent pr ogr ammes even within the same network at certain times.

• Mode 2 (AF: on/REG: on):

Network-Tracking is activated and Regional mode is engaged (switches between stations broadcasting the same programme, at all times).

• Mode 3 (AF: off/REG: off): Network-Tracking is deactivated.

When driving in an area where the signal strength drops, the tuner automatically uses PI (Programme Identification) and AF codes to retune to the same programme with a stronger signal from another RDS station in the network. By utilizing these codes, you can continue to listen to the same programme in its finest condition, no matter where you drive. (See illustration.)

• When the RDS station to which you are tuned does not provide AF data or the unit is unable to receive AF data for any reason, Network-Tracking reception will NOT operate even when the signal strength drops below the reference level.

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A
