Introduction of advanced
tuner operation
1 Touch AV Menu and then touch
Function Menu to display the function
names.
The function names are displayed and oper-
able ones are highlighted.

Storing the strongest
broadcast frequencies
BSM (best stations memory) automatically
stores the six strongest broadcast frequencies
in the order of their signal strength.
! Storing broadcast frequencies with BSM
may replace broadcast frequencies you
have saved using
P1 to P6.
% Touch BSM on the function menu to
turn BSM on.
BSM begins to flash. While BSM is flashing
the six strongest broadcast frequencies will be
stored under preset tuning keys
P1 to P6 in
order of their signal strength. When finished,
BSM stops flashing.
# To cancel the storage process, touch BSM
again.
Tuning in strong signals
Local seek tuning lets you tune in only those
radio stations with sufficiently strong signals
for good reception.
% Touch Local on the function menu to
set the sensitivity.
Touch
Local repeatedly until the desired level
of sensitivity appears in the display.
There are four levels of sensitivity for FM and
two levels for MW/LW:
FM:
Off
—Level1—Level2—Level3—Level4
MW/LW: Off —Level1—Level2
Larger setting number is higher level. The
highest level setting allows reception of only
the strongest stations, while lower settings let
you receive progressively weaker stations.
Selecting alternative
frequencies
When the tuner cannot get a good reception,
the unit automatically searches for a different
station in the same network.
% Touch AF on the function menu to turn
AF on.
# To turn AF off, touch AF again.
Notes
! 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. (This is only
available when using presets on the FM1 or
FM2 bands.) No preset number appears on
the display if the RDS data for the station re-
ceived differs from that for the originally
stored station.
! Sound may be temporarily interrupted by an-
other program during an AF frequency
search.
! 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.
