AF (alternative frequencies)
This button is used to search for RDS stations (radio information system) across the entire frequency band.
Press "AF" for less than 2 seconds to receive the same program while tuning to an RDS station. "AF" will appear on the display. If the reception conditions become worse, the network that broadcasts the same program will be selected from the AF list (alternative frequencies) for RDS stations.
To change the AF mode, press the "AF" button for at least 2 seconds. When "REG ON" appears on the display, the radio will select the RDS station that has the same PI code (program identification). When "REG OFF" appears on the display, the radio selects the RDS station that has the same three-digit PI code (program identification).
If the radio cannot find an RDS station within 60 seconds, the radio mutes all programs and begins to search for an RDS station of the same PI code using the AF list. If the radio cannot find any station in one pass due to weak signals, it begins to search again using increased sensitivity to search for stations with weak signals. At this time, "DX" will appear on the display. A beep will sound and "PI SEEK" will appear on the display to indicate when this function begins to operate.
If the signal becomes extremely weak, the radio will pause searching for a station and the display will show "NOTHING" for 2 seconds. After that, if the radio cannot find an RDS station within 20 seconds, it will start searching again.
To cancel AF mode, press the "AF" button again.

If the signal becomes extremely weak, the radio switches from stereo to monaural reception.
TA (Road news)
This button is used to receive TA stations across the entire frequency band.
"EON" System (additional extended network). If the station is RDS (with EON data), the station you are listening to does not broadcast traffic information programs in TA mode (road news), then the radio switches to the traffic information program automatically using the AF list for EON.
After the traffic information broadcast ends, the radio automatically returns to the original program. A buzzer sounds when this function starts and ends.

Volume memory function "TA" - remembers the volume when receiving traffic news.
When "TA" is received next time, the system compares the volume of the received "TA" station and the memorized volume of TA and automatically selects a higher volume. But the volume memorization range is limited: if the volume of the previously received program is higher than the maximum volume of the range, then the maximum volume of the range is memorized, and if it is lower than the minimum volume of the range, then the minimum volume of the range is memorized.
You can adjust the volume independently from the stored "TA" volume when receiving a "TA" station (see SEL and VOL).
To return to normal mode from TA mode, press "TA" again.
