Pioneer DEH-P900HDD operation manual Using alternative frequency AF, Using the PI seek function

Using alternative frequency (AF)

If you are listening to a broadcast and the reception becomes weak or there are other problems, this product will automatically search for a different station in the same network which is broadcasting a stronger signal.

1.Press FUNC and then press AF to select the AF mode.

2.Press AF to turn the AF function on. The light illuminates.

•Press AF again to turn the AF function off.

•When the AF mode is exited while AF is on, “AF” appears on the basic display.

Note:

•AF tunes the receiver only to RDS stations when you use seek tuning or BSM auto memory with the AF function on.

•When you recall a preset station, the tuner may update the preset station with a new frequency from the station’s AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the FM-1 and FM-2 bands.) No preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the station received differs from the data 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.

•The AF function can be turned on or off indepen- dently for each FM band.

Using the PI seek function

The tuner searches for another frequency broadcasting the same program. “PI Seek” appears on the display and the radio volume is muted during a PI seek. The muting is discon- tinued after completion of the PI seek, whether or not the PI seek has succeeded. If the PI seek is unsuccessful, the tuner returns to the previ- ous frequency.

PI seek

If you are listening to a broadcast and the reception becomes weak or if this product fails to find a suitable alternative frequency, this product will automatically search for a different station with the same program.

Auto PI seek (for preset station)

When preset stations cannot be recalled, as when traveling long distances, this product can be set to perform PI seek during preset recall. The default setting for auto PI seek is off.

Note:

•Refer to “Switching the auto PI seek” on page 71.

Limiting stations to regional pro- gramming

When AF is used to automatically retune fre- quencies, the regional function limits the selec- tion to stations broadcasting regional programs.

1.Press FUNC and then press REG to select the regional mode.

2.Press REG to turn the regional function on.

The light illuminates.

•Press REG again to turn the regional func- tion off.

Note:

•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 from the display if the tuner tunes in to a regional station which dif- fers from the originally set station.

•The regional function can be turned on or off inde- pendently for each FM band.
