By Bill Ashton

Now-a-days DVD players are used not only at homes but also in cars. These car DVD players are available in a variety of range in the market and offer several functions to their consumers. These include television watching, GPS, playing numerous variety of CD and DVD formats etc.

One such feature is so called "AF'. It is the short form of "Alternative Frequencies". Now you might think that what exactly does AF mean? Look for this feature also while buying a car DVD player.

The full form of "AF" is "Alternative Frequencies".

This happens many times when you go on a long car drive and suddenly your radio station creates noise due to some interference or spillover due to closely situated other radio frequencies. As a result you are not able to enjoy the specific radio station.

Hence, AF allows the radio tuner of car DVD player to retune to other higher frequency band which is taken from the same station or sent from other station when your last signal begins distorting. So, AF offers complimentary signal to any particular radio station signal by scanning any other broadcast signal.

This all happens so perfectly that the player switches over only when it has found other signal that is receiving the same station. This move will be unnoticeable and seamless.

Some people prefer to buy the car DVD player only when AF is embedded in the player as they love to listen a specific station and what all it broadcasts. So, as long as any country which uses the player allows various radio stations to match to the complimentary signals, AF will function as shown. Sometimes user would not even notice when AF overtakes the previous signal.

Everything has its pros and cons. same is true with AF functionality of car DVD players also. Sometimes they show spillover effect in which the present signals that the DVD player is carrying whether in terms of hiss or static or radio station information loss on the screen.

It also affects some activities of the player like static, hiss or radio station information is sometimes lost on the screen. Consider these factors also before you go to buy car DVD player.

Therefore, many people who go to buy a car DVD player not only look for the other available features but also AF as it offers a great function. Earlier car DVD players had only limited features but now-a-days, the advanced car DVD players are a great source of amusement for the users especially when they are going on a long drive. So, if you are also looking for a good car DVD player, this is the right time to go for it.
