Audio System (on vehicles with navigation system)
The system will hold the last tuned
FM station/network PTY while you
are listening to the disc. With this
function on, playing disc is
interrupted and the system switches
from disc mode to the FM newscast
when the newscast is broadcasting
from the FM station.
You can change the volume level of
the interrupted newscast. Refer to
page 247 for how to adjust the
volume level.
When the program is changed to
another program or the frequency
cannot be received for 10 seconds
due to a weak signal, the system will
return to the disc mode
automatically.
Your audio system has another
interrupt function (including TA
function). The first activated
interrupt function has priority over
the others and the indication of the
other interrupt function goes out. To
activate the other interrupt function,
turn off the current interrupt
function.
PTY Alarm
PTY code ''ALARM'' is used for
emergency announcements, such as
natural disasters. When this code is
received, ''ALARM'' comes on the
display and the volume is changed.
When the alarm is cancelled, the
system will return to the normal
operation mode.
