Listening to a regional programme
The “REG” (regional on) function of this unit
lets you stay tuned to a regional programme
without being switched to another regional
station. (Note that you must turn the AF
function on.) The unit is factory preset to
“REG,” but if you want to turn off the
function, do the following.
Press (AF/TA) for more than two seconds
until “REG” disappears.
Note that turning the “REG” function off
might cause the unit to switch to another
regional station within the same network.
Note
This function does not work in the United Kingdom and in
some other areas.
Local link function (United
Kingdom only)
The Local Link function lets you select other
local stations in the area, even though they are
not stored on your number buttons.
1
Press a number button that has a local
station stored on it.
2
Within five seconds, press the number
button of the local station again.
3
Repeat this procedure until the desired
local station is received.
Listening to traffic
announcements
The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic
Programme (TP) data let you automatically
tune in an FM station that is broadcasting
traffic announcements even though you are
listening to other programme sources.
Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “TA” or
“AF TA” appears.
The unit starts searching for traffic
information stations. “TP” appears in the
display when the unit finds a station
broadcasting traffic announcements.
When the traffic announcement starts,
“TA” flashes. “TA” stops flashing when the
traffic announcement is over.
Tips
• If you press (AF/TA) while tuning in the traffic
announcement, the unit can play a CD.
• If the traffic announcement starts while you are listening
to another programme source, the unit automatically
switches to the announcement and goes back to the
original source when the announcement is over.
Notes
• “NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received station
does not broadcast traffic announcements. Then, the unit
starts searching for a station that broadcasts traffic
announcements.
• When “EON” appears with “TP” in the display, the
current station makes use of traffic announcements
broadcast by other stations in the same network.
To cancel the current traffic
announcement
Press (AF/TA) momentarily.
To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off
the function by pressing (AF/TA) until “AF”
and “TA” disappear.
Presetting the volume of traffic
announcements
You can preset the volume level of the traffic
announcements beforehand so you won’t miss
the announcement. When a traffic
announcement starts, the volume will be
automatically adjusted to the preset level.
1
Select the desired volume level.
2
Press (3) while pressing (SEL).
“TA VOL” appears and the setting is
stored.
Receiving emergency
announcements
If an emergency announcement comes in while
you are listening to the radio, the programme
will be automatically switched to the
announcement. If you are listening to a source
other than the radio, the emergency
announcements will be heard if you set AF or
TA to on. The unit will then automatically
switch to these announcements no matter what
you are listening to at the time.
