Receiving Traffic Information While Playing
CD or Radio
The example explained here is how to receive the traffic information
broadcast during CD playback.
1 1
In the CD mode, press T.INFO/ANNC. to turn on
the Traffic information mode.
The unit automatically starts to search the receivable
traffic broadcasts.
When the traffic information broadcast is searched out,
the CD mode is switched to the Radio mode and the unit
receives the traffic information broadcast.
• When the traffic information broadcast starts, the unit
automatically mutes the CD.
• When the traffic information broadcast finishes, the unit
automatically returns to the original source you were
playing before the traffic information broadcast began.
• The receiver is equipped with the EON (Enhanced Other
Networks) function so if the station being received does not
broadcast the traffic information, the receiver automatically
tunes in the related station that broadcasts the traffic
information.
2
When the traffic information broadcast has
finished, the unit returns to the CD mode.
• When the DAB Receiver Box is connected, another operation
can be carried out. Refer to "Setting the Announcement
Select Mode" (page 41).

Priority PTY (Programme Type)

This function allows presetting of a programme type such as music
category, news, etc. You can listen to a programme in the preset
programme type as the unit automatically gives priority to the preset
programme type when it begins broadcasting, and interrupts the
programme you are currently listening. This feature is functional
when your unit is set to a mode other than the LW and MW modes.

Press RDS/R.TEXT.
The display changes to the RDS mode Screen.
2
Press 4 (P.PTY) to activate the PRIORITY PTY
mode.
The programme type selected by the P.PTY is displayed.
3
Press 1 (; BACK) or 2 (NEXT :) to choose a
desired programme type. Then press 4 (P.PTY).
The PRIORITY PTY function will activate.
The "P.PTY" indicator lights up.
• When the P.PTY mode is set to the ON position, the unit
automatically plays the preset programme type whenever the
unit receives the programme type even while the unit is
displaying other source screen than radio.
• If you do not want to listen to the programme being received,
press 4 (P.PTY) in the RDS mode screen to skip the P.PTY
mode. The P.PTY mode will remain in the P.PTY ON position
to receive the next preset programme type when it occurs.
• To disable the PRIORITY PTY (interrupting) function, press
and hold 4 (P.PTY) for more than 2 seconds.
• In the PRIORITY PTY function, unlike in the T.INFO function,
the volume does not increase during operation.
