Using the RDS Functions
AF Function
The AF (Alternative Frequencies search) function is used to search for other frequencies in
the same network as the currently tuned station. It automatically retunes the receiver to anoth-
er frequency in the network which is broadcasting a stronger signal when there are problems
with reception of the currently tuned station or better reception is possible on a different fre-
quency.
Note:
• AF tunes the receiver only to RDS stations when you use Seek tuning or BSM Auto Memory
with the “AF ” indicator 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 and FM2
bands.) No preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the station received dif-
fers from that for the originally stored station.
• Sound may be temporarily interrupted by another program during an AF frequency search.
• When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station, the AF Car icon disappears.
• AF can be switched ON or OFF independently for each FM band.
• The AF Car icon lights when the tuner is tuned to an RDS station with AF list.
