➲ RDS service may not be provided by all stations.
➲ RDS functions like AF, TA, NEWS and TEXT are only active when your radio is tuned to
a RDS station.
■Selecting alternative frequencies
If you are listening to a broadcast and the reception becomes weak or there are other prob-
lems, the Pioneer AV Head Unit (AVH-P6400CD or AVH-P6400R) will automatically search
for a different station in the same network which is broadcasting a stronger signal.
➲ AF is on as a default.

and press A.MENU (AUDIO) button.
2 Press
5 to turn AF on.

➲ 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
frequency from the station’s AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the
FM 1 or FM 2 band.) No preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the
station received differs from that for the originally stored station.
➲ Sound may be temporarily interrupted by another program during a AF frequency
search.
➲ AF can be switched on or off independently for each FM band.
