AF
(alternative frequency) list transmitted in addi-
tion to the normal FM broadcasting programs, and
picks up the FM stations that are transmitting the
same program from the AF list and automatically
tunes to the station with the strongest signal intensi-
ty.
Therefore, you can continue listening to one pro-
gram in, for example, a long distance driving with-
out retuning to the other station transmitting the
same program when you are leaving the service
area of the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited reception
of the program types, the break-in reception of the
traffic announcement to the EON (enhanced other
network) and emergency broadcast, and the limited/
unlimited reception of the regional programs.
AF (Alternative Frequencies) function E00720900175
The AF function finds a station broadcasting the
same
program and selects the station with the stron-
gest signal of AF lists.
The AF function is turned on (with the AF indica-
tor shown on the display) at all times unless you
manually switch it off.
The AF function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 6-15.
CT (Clock Time) function E00721000160
The clock can be set automatically by using the sig-
nal
from the local RDS stations. Refer to “Digital
clock” on page 6-31.
REG (Regional) function E00721100057
REG function limits to receive the stations broad-
casting regional programs. Regional programming and regional networks are
organized
differently depending on the country or
area (they may be changed according to the hour,
state, or broadcast area), so if you don’t want to re-
ceive the regional programs automatically, you can
set up REG ON not to receive regional programs.
The REG function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 6-15.
PI (Program Identification) search function E00721200289
When travelling long distance and the recalled pre-
set
station is weak, the radio searches another fre-
quency broadcasting the same programming with
the same PI code in AF list.
If there are no frequencies broadcasting the same
programming, the radio searches a frequency broad-
casting the regional programming. The radio suc-
ceeds in searching the regional programming, then
the display shows the REG indicator.
If the radio does not succeed in searching the re-
gional programming, the radio returns to the recal-
led preset station.
The PI function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 6-15.
NOTE
l While searching, the audio system is muted.
The display shows “WAIT” or “SEARCH”.
