Pioneer AVIC-X3-II - Manual (Page 92)

Selecting alternative frequencies
If you are listening to a broadcast and the re-
ception becomes weak or there are other pro-
blems, the navigation system will
automatically search for a different station in
the same network that is broadcasting a stron-
ger signal.
p AF is on as a default.
% Touch [AF] in Function menu.
Touching [
AF] switches between [On] and
[ Off].
p Only RDS stations are tuned in during seek
tuning or BSM when AF is on.
p 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 FM1
or FM2 bands.) No preset number appears
on the display if the RDS data for the sta-
tion received differs from that for the origin-
ally stored station.
p Sound may be temporarily interrupted by
another programme during an AF fre-
quency search.
p 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 naviga-
tion system will automatically search for a dif-
ferent station with the same programming.
During the search,
PI SEEK is displayed and
the output is muted. The muting is discontin-
ued after completion of the PI Seek, whether
or not a different 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.
p The default setting for Auto PI Seek is off.
= For details, refer to Switching Auto PI seek
on page 123.
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
programmes.
% Touch [Regional] in Function menu.
Touching [
Regional] switches between [On]
and [ Off].
p Regional programming and regional net-
works are organised differently depending
on the country (i.e., they may change ac-
cording to the time, country or broadcast
area).
p The preset number may disappear on the
display if the tuner tunes in a regional sta-
tion that differs from the originally set sta-
tion.
p The regional function can be turned on or
off independently for each FM band.
Receiving traffic announcements
TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you re-
ceive traffic announcements automatically, no
matter what source you are listening to.
TA
can be activated for both a TP station (a sta-
tion that broadcasts traffic information) or an-
other enhanced network
’s TP station (a station
carrying information that cross-references TP
stations).
