Tuning In Strong Signals; Selecting Alternative Frequencies - Pioneer DEH-P4900IB Operation Manual

Operating this unit

Tuning in strong signals

Local seek tuning lets you tune in only those
radio stations with sufficiently strong signals
for good reception.
1 Press FUNCTION to select LOCAL.
2 Press a to turn local seek tuning on.
Local seek sensitivity (e.g., LOCAL 2) appears
in the display.
# To turn local seek tuning off, press b.
3 Press c or d 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.

Selecting alternative frequencies

When the tuner can't get good reception, the
unit automatically search for a different sta-
tion in a same network.
% Press and hold TA repeatedly to turn AF
(alternative frequency search) on or off.
Notes
! You can also turn the AF function on or off in
the menu that appears with the pressing of
FUNCTION.
! 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 FM1
band.) 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 an AF frequency
search.
! AF can be turned on or off independently for
each FM band.
Using PI Seek
If the tuner can't find a suitable station, or re-
ception status becomes bad, the unit will auto-
matically search for a different station with a
same programming. During the search,
PI SEEK is displayed and the output is muted.
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 23.
Limiting stations to regional
programming
When AF is used, the regional function limits
the selection of stations broadcasting regional
programs.
1 Press FUNCTION to select REGIONAL.
2 Press a or b to turn the regional func-
tion on or off.
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 from the
display 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.
