and AF (alternative frequency) list trans-
mitted in addition to the normal UKW broad-
casting programs, and picks up the UKW
stations that are transmitting the same pro-
gram from the EON (enhanced other net-
work) and automatically tunes to the station
with the strongest signal intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to one
program in, for example, a long distance
driving without retuning to other station trans-
mitting the same program when you are
leaving the service area of the currently re-
ceiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited re-
ception of the program types, the break-in re-
ception of the traffic announcement andemergency broadcast, and the limited/un-
limited reception of the regional programs.

AF (Alternative Frequencies) functionThe AF function finds a station broadcasting
the same program, and selects the station
with the strongest signal of AF lists.
The AF function is tuned on (with the AF indi-
cator (13) shown on the display) at all times
unless you manually switch it off.
To turn the function off, at first, switch off the
power from UKW mode, and while pressing
the No.5 of the memory select buttons (7),
press the PWR switch (1) until it beeps. The
AF indicator (13) on the display will turn off.
To turn the function on, use the same pro-
cedure.
REG (Regional) functionREG function limits to receive the stations
broadcasting regional programs.
Regional programming and regional net-
works are organized differently depending
on the country or area (they may be changed
according to the hour, state, or broadcast
area), so if you don’t want to receive the re-
gional programs automatically, you can set
up REG ON not to receive regional pro-
grams.
To turn the function on, switch off the power
from UKW mode, and while pressing the V
side of the TUNE/SEEK button (5), press the
PWR switch (1) until it beeps. The ”REG ON”
will be shown on the display.To turn the function off, use the same pro-
cedure.
PI (Program Identification) search
function
When traveling long distance and the re-
called preset station is weak, radio searches
another frequency broadcasting the same
programming with the same PI code in AF
list.
If there are no frequencies broadcasting the
same programming, the radio searches a
frequency broadcasting the regional pro-
gramming. The radio succeeds in searching
the regional programming, then the display
shows the REG indicator (10).
If the radio does not succeed in searching
the regional programming, the radio returns
to the recalled preset station.
PTY (Program type)RDS broadcasts are classified according to
program type (PTY) as follows. Use the
TUNE/SEEK button (5 or 6) to select your
desired PTY.1. NEWS
