Listening To Traffic Announcements - Sony CDX-C90R Operating Instructions Manual

Listening to traffic announcements

Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic Programme (TP)
are broadcast data that allow you to automatically tune
in an FM station that is broadcasting traffic
announcements even though you are listening to other
programme sources.
If the traffic announcement starts while you are listening
to another programme source, the unit automatically
switches to the announcement; it then goes back to the
original source when the announcement is over.
Tips

the Func. menu is set
to "Source," the
function menu
automatically
appears on the right
