Notes
! Regional programming and regional networks
are organized differently depending on the
country (i.e., they may change according to
the hour, state or broadcast area).
! The preset number may disappear from the
display if the tuner tunes in a regional station
which differs from the originally set station.
! The regional function can be turned on or off
independently for each FM band.
Receiving traffic
announcements
TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you re-
ceive traffic announcements automatically, no
matter what source you are listening to. TA
can be activated for both a TP station (a sta-
tion that broadcasts traffic information) or an
enhanced other network's TP station (a station
carrying information which cross-references
TP stations).
1 Tune in a TP or enhanced other net-
work's TP station.
2 Press TA to turn traffic announcement
standby on.
Press TA and TA ON appears in the display.
The tuner will stand-by for traffic announce-
ments.
# To turn traffic announcements standby off,
press TA again.
3 Use MULTI-CONTROL to adjust the TA
volume when a traffic announcement be-
gins.
Rotate it to increase or decrease the volume.
The newly set volume is stored in memory and
recalled for subsequent traffic announce-
ments.
