quency 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 dis-
play if the RDS data for the station received
differs from that for the originally stored sta-
tion.
!Sound may be temporarily interrupted by an-
other program during a AF frequency search.
!AF can be turned on or off independently for
each FM band.
Using PI Seek
If the unit fails to find a suitable alternative fre-
quency, 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 com-
pletion of the PI Seek, whether or not a differ-
ent 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 default setting for Auto PI Seek is off.
See Switching Auto PI Seek on page 35.

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).
