Automatic retuning for best 
reception results 
— AF function
The alternative frequencies (AF) function allows 
the radio to always tune into the area’s strongest 
signal for the station you are listening to.
1
Select an FM station (page 13).
2
Press 
(AF)
 repeatedly until “AF-ON” 
appears.
The unit starts searching for an alternative 
frequency with a stronger signal in the same 
network.
If “NO AF” flashes, the currently tuned 
station does not have an alternative frequency.
Note
When there is no alternative frequency in the area or 
when you do not need to search for one, turn the AF 
function off by selecting “AF-OFF.”
For stations without alternative 
frequencies
Press either side of 
(SEEK)
 while the 
station name is flashing (within 
8 seconds).
The unit starts searching for another 
frequency with the same PI (Programme 
Identification) data (“PI SEEK” appears).
If the unit cannot find the same PI, the unit 
returns to the previously selected frequency.
Staying with one regional programme
When the AF function is on: this unit’s factory 
setting restricts reception to a specific region, so 
you won’t be switched to another regional station 
with a stronger frequency.
If you leave this regional programme’s reception 
area and would like to take advantage of the 
whole AF function, select “REG-OFF” from the 
MENU (page 21).
Note
This function does not work in the United Kingdom 
and in some other areas.

) on 
the card remote commander that has a 
local station stored on it.
2
Within 5 seconds, press the number 
button of the local station again.
