Notes
• 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 on the
display if the tuner tunes in a regional station
which differs from the originally set station.
• REG can be turned on or off independently for
each FM band.
Receiving traffic announcements
TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you
receive traffic announcements automatically,
no matter what source you are listening to. TA
can be activated for both a TP station (a station
that broadcasts traffic information) or an
enhanced other network’s TP station (a station
carrying information which cross-references TP
stations).
1 Tune in a TP or enhanced other network’s
TP station.
When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced other
network’ s TP station the TP indicator ( )
will light.
2 Press TA to turn traffic announcement
standby on.
Press TA until TA ON temporally appears in the
LCD display.
The tuner will standby for traffic announcements.
• To turn off traffic announcements standby,
press TA until TA OFF temporally appears in the
LCD display.
3 Use VOLUME to adjust the TA volume when
a traffic announcement begins.
Rotate to increase or decrease the volume.
The newly set volume is stored in memory and
recalled for subsequent traffic announcements.
4 Press TA
while a traffic announcement is
being received to cancel the announcement.
The tuner returns to the original source but
remains in the standby mode until
TA is pressed
again.
Notes
• You can also turn on or off TA in the setting
menu that appears with the pressing of
FUNCTION.
• The system switches back to the original
source following traffic announcement recep-
tion.
• Only TP and enhanced other network’s TP
stations are tuned in during seek tuning or
BSM when TA is on.
Responding to the TP alarm
When a TP or enhanced other network’s TP
station is lost due to a weak signal a series of
short beeps, about five seconds long, sound to
remind you to select another TP or enhanced
other network’s TP station.
When listening to the tuner, tune in another
TP or enhanced other network’s TP station.
• When listening to sources other than the
tuner the unit will automatically seek out a TP
station with the strongest signal after a 10- or
30-second delay. The delay is 10 seconds if TA is
on and 30 seconds if TA and AF are on.
