Using Alternative Frequency (Af); Using The Pi Seek Function; Limiting Stations To Regional Programming - Pioneer DEH-P9300R Operation Manual

U
sing 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.
U
sing 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 47.
L
imiting 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.
