Receiving Traffic Information While Playing CD or Radio

1 Press the T.INFO button repeatedly until the T.INFO indicator appears in the display.

2 Press the g DN and f UP buttons to select a traffic information station if necessary.

•When a traffic information broadcast starts, the unit automatically mutes the CD player or the regular FM broadcast.

•When the traffic information broadcast finishes, the unit automatically returns to the original source play before the traffic information broadcast began.

•When traffic information stations cannot be received:

In the tuner mode:

When the TP signal can no longer be received for over 1 minute, the "T.INFO" indicator blinks.

In the CD mode:

When the TP signal can no longer be received, the traffic information station of another frequency will be selected automatically.

NOTE

The receiver is equipped with the EON (Enhanced Other Networks) function in order to keep track of additional alternative frequencies to the AF list. The EON indicator appears while an RDS EON station is being received. If the station being received does not broadcast the traffic information, the receiver automatically tunes in the related station that broadcasts the traffic information when it occurs.

Priority PTY (Programme Type)

This function allows presetting of a programme type such as music category, news, etc. You can listen to a programme in the preset programme type as the unit automatically gives priority to the preset programme type when it begins broadcasting, and interrupts the programme you are currently listening. This feature is functional when your unit is set to a mode other than the LW and MW.

NOTE

If no buttons are pressed within 5 seconds after pressing the P. PTY button, the PRIORITY PTY mode is automatically cancelled.
