TA (Traffic Announcement)
In the 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.
* This function can only be used when
"TP" is lit in the display. When "TP" is lit,
this means that the Radio Data System
broadcast station being received has traffic
announcement programmes.
Setting the TA standby mode
If you press the [TA] button, "TA" lights in
the display and the unit is set into the TA
standby mode until a traffic announcement
is broadcast. When a traffic announcement
broadcast starts, "TRAF INF" appears in the
display. If you press the [TA] button while
a traffic announcement broadcast is being
received, the traffic announcement broadcast
reception is cancelled and the unit goes into
the TA standby mode.
Cancelling the TA standby mode
When "TA" is lit in the display, press the [TA]
button. The "TA" in the display goes off and
the TA standby mode is cancelled.
PTY (Programme Type)
This function enables you to listen to a
broadcast of the selected programme type
even if the unit is on a function mode other
than radio.
* Some countries do not yet have PTY
broadcast.
* In the TA standby mode, a TP station has
priority over a PTY broadcast station.
Selecting PTY
Press the [MENU] button, then rotate the
knob to select PTY type, and press the
