AV
❒ RDS functions like AF and TA are only active
when your radio is tuned to an RDS station.
Switching the RDS display
When you tune in an RDS station its programme
service name is displayed. You can also display
the frequency.

Selecting alternative frequen-
cies
If you are listening to a broadcast and the recep-
tion becomes weak or there are other problems,
the navigation system will automatically search
for a different station in the same network which
is broadcasting a stronger signal.
• AF is on as a default.
1
Touch “AF” in the FUNCTION menu.
Touching “AF” switches between “ON” and
“OFF”.
❒ 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
frequency 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 received differs from that for
the originally stored station.
❒ Sound may be temporarily interrupted by
another programme during an AF fre-
quency 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 navigation sys-
tem will automatically search for a different sta-
tion with the same programming. During the
search, PI SEEK is displayed and the output is
muted. The muting is discontinued after comple-
tion of the PI Seek, whether or not a different sta-
tion 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.

Limiting stations to regional
programming
When AF is used to automatically retune frequen-
cies, the regional function limits the selection to
stations broadcasting regional programmes.
1
Touch “REGIONAL” in the FUNCTION
menu.
Touching “REGIONAL” switches between
“ON” and “OFF”.
❒ Regional programming and regional net-
works are organised differently depending
on the country (i.e., they may change
according to the time, country or broad-
cast area).
❒ The preset number may disappear on the
display if the tuner tunes in a regional sta-
tion which differs from the originally set
station.
❒ The regional function can be turned on or
off independently for each FM band.
Receiving traffic announce-
ments
TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you
receive traffic announcements automatically, no
matter what source you are listening to. TA can
be activated for both a TP station (a station that
broadcasts traffic information) or another
enhanced network’s TP station (a station carry-
ing information which cross-references TP sta-
tions).
1
Tune in a TP or enhanced other network’s
TP station.
When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced
other network’s TP station the
or
indicator will light.
