To retract the antenna, turn the source off.

Listening to the radio

This units AF (alternative frequencies search) function can be turned on and off. AF should be off for normal tuning operation (refer to page 8). 1 Band indicator Shows which band the radio is tuned to, MW/LW or FM. 2 LOC indicator Shows when local seek tuning is on. 3 Stereo (5) indicator Shows when the selected frequency is being broadcast in stereo. 4 Frequency indicator Shows the frequency to which the tuner is tuned. 5 Preset number indicator Shows which preset has been selected. 1 Press SOURCE to select the tuner.

Adjusting the volume

% Use VOLUME to adjust the sound level.

Turning the unit off

% Press SOURCE and hold until the unit turns off.
2 Press BAND to select a band. Press BAND until the desired band (F1, F2 for FM or MW/LW) is displayed. 3 To perform manual tuning, briefly press c or d. 4 To perform seek tuning, press and hold c or d for about one second and release. The tuner will scan the frequencies until a broadcast strong enough for good reception is found.

# You can cancel seek tuning by briefly pressing c or d.

Operating this unit

# If you press and hold c or d you can skip stations. Seek tuning starts as soon as you release the button.
! Storing broadcast frequencies with BSM may replace broadcast frequencies you have saved using buttons 16. % Press LOCAL/BSM and hold until the BSM turns on. BSM begins to flash. While BSM is flashing the six strongest broadcast frequencies will be stored under preset tuning buttons 16 in the order of their signal strength. When finished, BSM stops flashing.
Storing and recalling broadcast frequencies
If you press any of the preset tuning buttons 16 you can easily store up to six broadcast frequencies for later recall with the touch of a button. ! Up to 12 FM stations, 6 for each of the two FM bands, and 6 MW/LW stations can be stored in memory. % When you find a frequency that you want to store in memory, press one of preset tuning buttons 16 and hold until the preset number stops flashing. The selected radio station frequency is stored in memory. The next time you press the same preset tuning button the radio station frequency is recalled from memory.
# You can also use a and b to recall radio station frequencies assigned to preset tuning buttons 16.
# To cancel the storage process, press LOCAL/BSM.

Tuning in strong signals

Local seek tuning lets you tune in only those radio stations with sufficiently strong signals for good reception. % Press LOCAL/BSM repeatedly to turn local seek tuning on or off. When local seek tuning is on, LOC appears in the display.
Storing the strongest broadcast frequencies
BSM (best stations memory) lets you automatically store the six strongest broadcast frequencies under preset tuning buttons 16. Once stored you can tune in to those frequencies with the touch of button.

Operating this unit RDS

Introduction of RDS operation
PTY (program type ID code) information is listed on page 10.
# PTY information and the frequency of the current station appears on the display for eight seconds.
Receiving PTY alarm broadcasts
RDS (radio data system) is a system for providing information along with FM broadcasts. This inaudible information provides such features as program service name, program type, traffic announcement standby and automatic tuning, and is intended to aid radio listeners in finding and tuning in to a desired station. ! RDS service may not be provided by all stations. ! RDS functions such as AF and TA are only active when your radio is tuned to an RDS station. 1 Program service name Shows the name of broadcast program. 2 AF indicator Shows when AF (alternative frequencies search) function is on. 3 TA indicator Shows when TA (traffic announcement standby) function is on. 4 TP indicator Shows when a TP station is tuned in. PTY alarm is a special PTY code for announcements regarding emergencies such as natural disasters. When the tuner receives the radio alarm code, ALARM appears on the display and the volume adjusts to the TA volume. When the station stops broadcasting the emergency announcement, the system returns to the previous source. ! An emergency announcement can be canceled by pressing TA.

Selecting alternative frequencies
If you are listening to a broadcast and the reception becomes weak or there are other problems, the unit will automatically search for a different station in the same network which is broadcasting a stronger signal. ! The default setting for AF is off. % Press TA and hold repeatedly to turn AF on or off. When AF is on, AF appears in the display.
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 frequency from the stations AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the F1 band.) 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 program during an AF frequency search. ! When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station the AF indicator flashes.
Switching the RDS display
When you tune in an RDS station its program service name is displayed. Switch the display to find out the frequency. % Press DISPLAY. Press DISPLAY repeatedly to switch between the following settings: Program service namePTY information Frequency
! AF can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.
Receiving traffic announcements
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 networks TP station (a station carrying information which cross-references TP stations). 1 Tune in a TP or enhanced other networks TP station. When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced other networks TP station the TP indicator will light. 2 Press TA to turn traffic announcement standby on. TA appears in the display. The tuner will standby for traffic announcements.
# To turn traffic announcements standby off, press TA again.

Using PI Seek

If the unit fails to find a suitable alternative frequency, or if you are listening to a broadcast and the reception becomes weak, the 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. See Switching Auto PI Seek on page 15.
Limiting stations to regional programming
When AF is used to automatically retune frequencies, the regional function limits the selection to stations broadcasting regional programs. % Press BAND and hold until the regional function turns on or off.
Notes ! Regional programming and regional networks are organized differently depending on the country (i.e., they may change according to the hour, state or broadcast area). ! The preset number may disappear on the display if the tuner tunes in a regional station which differs from the originally set station. ! The regional function can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.
3 Use VOLUME to adjust the TA volume when a traffic announcement begins. The newly set volume is stored in memory and recalled for subsequent traffic announcements. 4 Press TA while a traffic announcement is being received to cancel the announcement. The tuner returns to the original source but remains in the standby mode until TA is pressed again.
Notes ! The system switches back to the original source following traffic announcement reception. ! Only TP and enhanced other networks TP stations are tuned in during seek tuning or BSM when TA is on.
