Ta Function (Traffic Announcement) - VDO MR6000 Owner's Manual And Mounting Instructions

RDS operation

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

SEARCH button 2.
