Pioneer DEH-P8600MP - Manual (Page 20)

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 on the dis-
play 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 networks TP station (a station
carrying information which cross-references
TP stations).
1 Tune in a TP or enhanced other net-
works TP station.
When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced
other networks TP station the TRFC indicator
will light.
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 VOLUME to adjust the TA volume
when a traffic announcement begins.
The newly set volume is stored in memory and
recalled for subsequent traffic announce-
ments.
4 Press TA while a traffic announcement
is being received to cancel the announce-
ment.
The tuner returns to the original source but re-
mains in the standby mode until TA is pressed
again.
# You can also cancel the announcement by
pressing SOURCE, BAND/ESC or
MULTI-CONTROL while a traffic announcement
is being received.
Notes
! You can also turn the TA function on or off in
the menu that appears by using
MULTI-CONTROL.
! The system switches back to the original
source following traffic announcement recep-
tion.
! Only TP and enhanced other networks TP sta-
tions are tuned in during seek tuning or BSM
when TA is on.
