Pioneer DEH -P7700MP - US version - How to receive European stations

[Fisio Jobson]

Hi All,


Greetings from Poland.

I faced the serious problem with the car radio Pioneer DEH -P770MP I
received as the birthday souvenir from my friends from US.

The frequency range called by producer covered 87.9 to 107,9MHz. During
first tuning of the station after assembly I turned our that the step
between the frequencies sometimes aimed to the holes between the frequencies
used by stations in Poland. There is no possibilities to make any precise
tuning to these frequencies due to that another step.

After the quick lecture of the available technical information I noted that
car radio devices produced for US market, are programmed with another
frequency raster than used in Europe.

My question is. Is there any chances to:

- make a hard reset of radio CPU in order to obtain continuous
receipt frequencies coverage,

- to change the frequency step ( that info I could not find in
Operation Manual ),

or maybe is there any other magical manner to receipt European stations?



Any advise will be warmly welcomed



Cheers,



Peter

Poland! That's very cool, I love the 'net.

I would try asking Pioneer directly this question, here is the page where
you can submit questions:

Hi MOSFET

Thanks for yours.

Believe me in Poland is not so cold today. Even tommo we expect plus 8
grades. Frankly speaking the spring is coming .

Many thanks for suggestion. I have just passed the info to the Pioneer site
but I am pessimistic in that respect. It is not easy to took out from the
producers manners how to reset CPUs.



I see that I have no other way to obtain that info regarding the device
frequency step adjustment.



BTW Maybe anyone else have the knowledge, which type of Pioneer DEH type
devices distributed in Europe is equivalent to DEH -P7700MP.



Best regards

Peter
