RDS Operations
TA (Traffic Announcement)
In TA standby mode, when a traffic
announcement broadcast starts, the traffic
announcement broadcast is received as top
priority regardless of the function mode so you
can listen to it. Traffic programme (TP)
automatic tuning is also possible.
∗ RDS interrupt does not function during AM radio
reception or in TV mode.
∗ This function can only be used when "TP" is lit in
the display. When "TP" is lit, this means that the
RDS broadcast station being received has traffic
announcement programmes.
G Setting TA standby mode
If you press the TA button 0 when only "TP" is
lit in the display, "TP" and "TA" light in the
display and the unit is set into TA standby
mode until a traffic announcement is
broadcast. When a traffic announcement
broadcast starts, "TRA INFO" appears in the
display. If you press the TA button 0 while a
traffic announcement broadcast is being
received, the traffic announcement broadcast
reception is cancelled and the unit goes into TA
standby mode.
G Cancelling TA standby mode
With "TP" and "TA" are lit in the display, press
the TA button 0. The "TA" in the display goes
off and TA standby mode is cancelled.
∗ If "TP" is not lit, pressing the TA button 0
searches for a TP station.
G Searching for a TP station
When "TP" is not lit, if you press the TA button
0, "TA" lights in the display and the unit
automatically searches a TP station.
Note:
• If a TP station is not received, the unit continues
the search operation. Pressing the TA button 0
again makes the "TA" indicator go off and stops
TP station searching.
Auto store function for TP stations
You can automatically store up to 6 TP stations
into preset memory. If the number of TP that
can be received is less than 6, broadcast
stations already stored in memory are left
without being overwritten.
1. With "TA" lit in the display, press the PS/AS
button 5 for 2 seconds or more.
2. The TP stations with the good reception
condition are stored into preset memory.
∗ Even if you select FM1 or FM2, a TP station
is stored into memory for FM3.
PTY
This function enables you to listen to a
broadcast of the selected programme type
when it starts, even if the unit operates on a
function mode other than radio.
∗ RDS interrupt does not function during AM radio
reception or in TV mode.
