Storing and recalling

broadcast frequencies

If you press any of the NUMBER (16) you can

easily store up to six broadcast frequencies for

later recall with the touch of a button.

% When you find a frequency that you

want to store in memory press a NUMBER

(16) and hold until the preset number

stops flashing.

The number you have pressed will flash in the

preset number indicator and then remain lit.

The selected radio station frequency has been

stored in memory.

The next time you press the same NUMBER

(16) the radio station frequency is recalled

from memory.

Notes

! Up to 18 FM stations, 6 for each of the three

FM bands, and 6 MW/LW stations can be

stored in memory.

! You can also use q and r to recall radio

station frequencies assigned to NUMBER

(16).

Tuning in strong signals

Local seek tuning lets you tune in only those

radio stations with sufficiently strong signals

for good reception.

1 Press F to select LOCAL.

Press F until LOCAL appears in the display.

2 Press r to turn local seek tuning on.

Local seek sensitivity (e.g., LOCAL 2) appears

in the display.

3 Press m or n to set the sensitivity.

There are four levels of sensitivity for FM and

two levels for MW/LW:

FM: LOCAL 1LOCAL 2LOCAL 3

LOCAL 4

MW/LW: LOCAL 1LOCAL 2

The LOCAL 4 setting allows reception of only

the strongest stations, while lower settings let

you receive progressively weaker stations.

Storing the strongest

broadcast frequencies

BSM (best stations memory) lets you automa-

tically store the six strongest broadcast fre-

quencies under NUMBER (16) and once

stored there you can tune in to those frequen-

cies with the touch of a button.

1 Press F to select BSM.

Press F until BSM appears in the display.

2 Press r to turn BSM on.

BSM begins to flash. While BSM is flashing

the six strongest broadcast frequencies will be

stored under NUMBER (16) in order of their

signal strength. When finished, BSM stops

flashing.

# To cancel the storage process, press q.

Note

Storing broadcast frequencies with BSM may re-

place broadcast frequencies you have saved

using NUMBER (16).

Introduction of RDS operation

1 42 3

RDS (radio data system) is a system for provid-

ing information along with FM broadcasts.

This inaudible information provides such fea-

tures as program service name, program type,

traffic announcement standby and automatic

tuning, intended to aid radio listeners in find-

ing and tuning in to a desired station.

1 TP (

) indicator

Shows when a TP station is tuned in.

2 TEXT indicator

Shows when the radio text is received.

3 News (

) indicator

Shows when the set news program is re-

ceived.

4 Program service name

Shows the name of broadcast program.

% Press F to display the function names.

Press F repeatedly to switch between the fol-

lowing functions:

BSM (best stations memory)REG (regional)

LOCAL (local seek tuning)program type

selection (PTY)TA (traffic announcement

standby)AF (alternative frequencies search)

NEWS (news program interruption)

# To return to the frequency display, press

BAND.

# If MW/LW band is selected, you can only se-

lect BSM or LOCAL.

Notes

! If you do not operate the function within about

30 seconds, the display is automatically re-

turned to the frequency display.

! RDS service may not be provided by all sta-

tions.

! 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 program

service name is displayed. If you want to know

the frequency you can.

% Press DISPLAY on the head unit.

Press DISPLAY on the head unit repeatedly to

switch between the following settings:

Program service name (A)PTY information

and frequencyProgram service name (B)

PTY (program type ID code) information is

listed on page 24.

# PTY information and the frequency of the cur-

rent station appears on the display for eight sec-

onds.

# If a PTY code of zero is received from a station

or the signal is too weak for this unit to pick up

the PTY code, you cannot switch to PTY infoma-

tion display. In this case, if you have selected the

PTY information display, the display will be chan-

ged blank.

# If the signal is too weak for this unit to pick up

the PTY code, the PTY information display is

blank.

Selecting alternative

frequencies

If you are listening to a broadcast and the re-

ception becomes weak or there are other pro-

blems, the unit will automatically search for a

different station in the same network which is

broadcasting a stronger signal.

! AF is on as a default.

1 Press F to select AF.

Press F until AF appears in the display.

2 Press r to turn AF on.

AF :ON appears in the display.

3 Press q to turn AF off.

AF :OFF 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 fre-

quency from the stations AF list. (This is only

available when using presets on the F1 or F2

bands.) No preset number appears on the dis-

play if the RDS data for the station received

differs from that for the originally stored sta-

tion.

! Sound may be temporarily interrupted by an-

other program 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, 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 com-

pletion of the PI Seek, whether or not a differ-

ent 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 77.

Limiting stations to regional

programming

When AF is used to automatically retune fre-

quencies, the regional function limits the se-

lection to stations broadcasting regional

programs.

1 Press F to select REG.

Press F until REG appears in the display.

2 Press r to turn the regional function

on.

REG :ON appears in the display.

3 Press q to turn the regional function

off.

REG :OFF appears in the display.

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 dis-

play 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.
