Pioneer DEH-P8600MP - Manual (Page 19)

# PTY information and the frequency of the cur-
rent station appears on the display for eight sec-
onds.
# If a PTY code of zero is received from a station,
display is blank. This indicates that the station
has not defined its program contents.
# If the signal is too weak for this unit to pick up
the PTY code, the PTY information display is
blank.
Selecting alternative
frequencies
If you are listening to a broadcast and the re-
ception becomes weak or there are other pro-
blems, the unit will automatically search for a
different station in the same network which is
broadcasting a stronger signal.
! AF is on as a default.
1 Use MULTI-CONTROL to select AF.
The function name tag AF is highlighted.
2 Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn AF on.
AF :ON appears in the display.
# To turn AF off, press MULTI-CONTROL again.
Notes
! 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 stations AF list. (This is only
available when using presets on the FM1 or
FM2 bands.) No preset number appears on
the display if the RDS data for the station re-
ceived differs from that for the originally
stored station.
! 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 unit fails to find a suitable alternative fre-
quency, or if you are listening to a broadcast
and the reception becomes weak, the unit will
automatically search for a different station
with the same programming. During the
search, PI Seek is displayed and the output is
muted. The muting is discontinued after com-
pletion of the PI Seek, whether or not a differ-
ent station is found.
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 70.
Limiting stations to regional
programming
When AF is used to automatically retune fre-
quencies, the regional function limits the se-
lection to stations broadcasting regional
programs.
1 Use MULTI-CONTROL to select REG.
The function name tag REG is highlighted.
2 Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn the re-
gional function on.
Regional :ON appears in the display.
# To turn the regional function off, press
MULTI-CONTROL again.
