Re-tuning the same
programme automatically
— Alternative Frequencies (AF)
The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function
automatically selects and re-tunes the station
with the strongest signal in a network. By
using this function, you can continuously
listen to the same programme during a long-
distance drive without having to re-tune the
station manually.
Frequencies change automatically.

1
Select an FM station.

Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until "AF on"
appears.
The unit starts searching for an alternative
station with a stronger signal in the same
network.
Note
When there is no alternative station in the area and you do
not need to search for an alternative station, turn the AF
function off by pressing (AF/TA) repeatedly until "AF TA
off" appears.
Changing the displayed item
Each time you press (AF/TA), the item changes
as follows:
" AF on
" TA on
AF TA off "
* Select this to turn on both the AF and TA functions.
Notes
• "NO AF" and the station name flash alternately, if the
unit cannot find an alternative station in the network.
• If the station name starts flashing after selecting a
station with the AF function on, this indicates that no
alternative frequency is available. Press (SEEK/AMS)
while the station name is flashing (within eight seconds).
The unit starts searching for another frequency with the
same PI (Programme Identification) data ("PI seek"
appears and no sound is heard). If the unit cannot find
another frequency, "NO PI" appears, and the unit
returns to the originally selected frequency.

Listening to a regional programme
The "REG on" (regional on) function lets you
stay tuned to a regional programme without
being switched to another regional station.

you want to turn off the function, do the
