Notes
• 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 the AF
button again.
• “NO AF” and the
station name light up
alternately if the
system cannot find
an alternative station
in the network.
• If the station name
changes to white
after tuning to a
station with the AF
function on, this
means that no
alternative station is
available. If this
happens, rotate the
SEEK/AMS control
on the rotary remote
while the station
name is still
displayed in white.
The system starts
searching for another
frequency with the
same PI (programme
Identification) data.
“PI seek” appears in
the display and no
sound is heard at this
time. If the system
cannot find another
frequency, “NO PI”
appears and the
system returns to the
originally selected
frequency.
