different station in the same network which is
broadcasting a stronger signal.

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
frequency from the stations AF list. (This is
only available when using presets on the F1 or
F2 bands.) No preset number appears on the
display if the RDS data for the station received
differs from that for the originally stored
station.

! Sound may be temporarily interrupted by

another program during a AF frequency
search.

! When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS

station the AF indicator flashes.

! AF can be switched 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 preset number may disappear on 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.

Receiving traffic
announcements

TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you re­ceive traffic announcements automatically, no
matter what source you are listening to. TA
can be activated for both a TP station (a sta­tion that broadcasts traffic information) or an
enhanced other networks TP station (a station
carrying information which cross-references
TP stations).

1 Tune in a TP or enhanced other
networks TP station.

other networks TP station the TP (
tor will light.

2 Press TA to turn traffic
announcement standby on.

! If the tuner was last set to FM, turning on TA

lets you operate other tuning functions while
listening to sources other than the tuner.

! Only TP and enhanced other networksTP

stations are tuned in during seek tuning or
BSM when TA is on.

Responding to the TP alarm

When a TP or enhanced other networksTP
station is lost due to a weak signal the T indi­cator is extinguished and a series of short
beeps, about five seconds long, sound to re­mind you to select another TP or enhanced
other networks TP station.

% When listening to the tuner, tune in

another TP or enhanced other networksTP
station.

#

ner the unit will automatically seek out a TP sta­tion with the strongest signal after a 10- or 30­second delay. The delay is 10 seconds if TA is on
and 30 seconds if TA and AF are on.

Using PTY functions
