TA function (traffic announcement)
In order that traffic announcements can still
be heard during e.g., CD changer operation,
traffic radio stations with traffic announce-
ments are given priority in TA stand-by mode.
An automatic tuning for traffic programmes
(TP) is also possible.
∗ This function is not available during AM radio reception
or television operation.
* This function can only be used when ”TP” illuminates on
the display. If ”TP” illuminates, this indicates that the re-
ceived RDS station contains programmes with traffic an-
nouncements.
● Setting TA stand-by mode
If the TA button 0 is actuated when only ”TP”
illuminates on the display, ”TP” and ”TA” then
illuminate on the display and the unit is set to
TA stand-by mode until a traffic announcement
is transmitted. ”TRA INFO” then illuminates
on the display when a traffic announcement
begins. If the TA button is actuated during re-
ception of a traffic announcement, the recep-
tion of the station with the traffic announce-
ment is terminated and the unit switches back
to TA stand-by mode.
● Cancelling TA stand-by mode
Actuate the TA button 0 when ”TP” and ”TA”
illuminate on the display. ”TA” is then extin-
guished on the display and TA stand-by mode
is cancelled.
∗ If ”TP” does not illuminate, a search for a TP station is
started by actuating the TA button.
● TP automatic search
If ”TP” is extinguished and traffic radio stations
are to be searched for automatically, press the
TA button 0 whereupon ”TA” illuminates on
the display.
Note:
• The unit continues the search if no TP station is
received. If the TA button is pressed again, ”TA”
extinguishes on the display and the TP auto-
matic search is terminated.
Automatic storage of TP stations
Up to 6 TP stations can be stored automati-
cally in the preset memory. If the number of
receivable TP stations is less than 6, the sta-
tions already present in the memory are re-
tained.
1. When the ”TA” display illuminates (traffic
announcements), press the AS/SCN button 5
for at least 2 seconds.
2. All receivable traffic radio stations are stored
in the preset memory.
* The TP stations are stored in the memory for FM3 even
if FM1 or FM2 was previously selected.
PTY
With the PTY function (PTY = programme type),
a station of the selected programme type can
be heard as soon as the set PTY identification
is transmitted, even if the unit is set to another
radio function mode.
* This function is not available during AM radio reception or
television operation.
* In certain countries there is still no PTY station.
* In TA stand-by mode, a TP station has priority over a PTY
station.
PTY setting
1. The unit is switched to PTY selection mode
by pressing the PTY button 8 (programme
type)
2. Select the desired programme type by press-
ing a preset button c. Alternatively, the
desired programme type can be selected by
pressing the upper or lower side of the
SEARCH button 2.
