Operating this unit
2
Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn AF on.
# To turn AF off, press MULTI-CONTROL again.
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 fre-
quency from the station's AF list. No preset
number appears on the display if the RDS
data for the station received differs from that
of the originally stored 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 tuner cannot find a suitable station, or
reception status becomes bad, the unit auto-
matically searches for a different station with
the 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.
See Switching Auto PI Seek on page 49.
Limiting stations to regional

the selection of stations broadcasting regional

Notes
! Regional programming and regional networks
are organized differently depending on the
country (i.e., they may change according to
the hour, state or broadcast area).
! The preset number may disappear from 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 re-
ceive traffic announcements automatically, no
matter what source you are listening to. TA
can be activated for both a TP station (a sta-
tion 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 net-
work's TP station.
The TP (
) indicator will light.
2
Press TA/NEWS to turn traffic an-
nouncement standby on.
# To turn traffic announcements standby off,
press TA/NEWS again.
3
Use MULTI-CONTROL to adjust the TA
volume when a traffic announcement be-
gins.
The newly set volume is stored in memory and
recalled for subsequent traffic announce-
ments.
4
Press TA/NEWS while a traffic an-
nouncement is being received to cancel the
announcement.
The tuner returns to the original source but re-
mains in the standby mode until TA/NEWS is
pressed again.
