! Sound may be temporarily interrupted by an-

English

other program during an AF frequency search.

! AF can be turned on or off independently for

each FM band.

Using PI Seek

If the tuner can’t find a suitable station, or reception status becomes bad, the unit will automatically search for a different station with a 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, 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.
