Using the AV Source (Built-in DVD drive and Radio)
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. If you want to know
the frequency you can.

Selecting alternative frequen-
cies
If you are listening to a broadcast and the recep-
tion becomes weak or there are other problems,
navigation unit will automatically search for a dif-
ferent 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 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, navigation 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 completion of the PI
Seek, whether or not a different 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.

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 an enhanced
other network’s TP station (a station carrying
information which cross-references TP stations).
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.
