!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.
!During AF search, sound may be temporarily
interrupted.
!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, the
unit can be set to perform PI Seek during pre-
set recall.
!The default setting for Auto PI Seek is off.
