Sony CDX-C610RDS manual Presetting the RDS stations with the AF and TA data

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 broadcast traffic announcement of 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.TA-OFF” appears.

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 (AF/TA) for two seconds.

A beep sounds 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.

Presetting the RDS stations with the AF and TA data

When you preset the RDS stations, the unit stores each station’s data as well as its frequency, so you don’t have to turn on the AF or TA function every time you tune in the preset station. You can select a different setting (AF, TA, or both) for individual preset station, or the same setting for all preset stations.

Presetting the same setting for all preset stations

1 Press (SOURCE) to select an FM band.

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly to select either “AF-ON”, “TA-ON” or “AF.TA-ON” (for both AF and TA functions).

Note that selecting “AF.TA-OFF” stores not only RDS stations, but also non-RDS stations.

3 Press (SHIFT), then press (6) (BTM).

Presetting different settings for each preset station

1 Select an FM band, and tune in the desired station.

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly to select either “AF-ON”, “TA-ON” or “AF.TA-ON” (for both AF and TA functions).

3 Press the desired number button for two seconds until a beep sounds.

Repeat from step 1 for presetting other stations.

Tip

If you want to change the preset AF and/or TA setting after you tuned in the preset station, you can do so by turning on/off the AF or TA function.
