! RDS service may not be provided by all sta-

tions.

! RDS functions such as AF and TA are only ac-

tive when your radio is tuned to an RDS station.

! Sound may be temporarily interrupted by an-

other program during an 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 frequency, 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, PI SEEK is displayed and the output is muted. The muting is discontinued after completion of the PI Seek, whether or not a different 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.
