Manually tuning a regional station in the same network

1.This function is valid when the AF function is ON and the REG function is OFF.

Note:

•This function can be used when a regional broad- cast of the same network is received.

2.Press any one of the [DIRECT] buttons to call out the regional station.

3.If the reception condition of the called out sta- tion is bad, press the [DIRECT] button of the same number. The unit receives a local sta- tion on the same network.

TA (Traffic Announcement)

In the TA standby mode, when a traffic announcement broadcast starts, the traffic announcement broadcast is received as top priority regardless of the function mode so you can listen to it. Traffic programme (TP) automatic tuning is also possible.

∗This function can only be used when “TP” is lit in the display. When “TP” is lit, this means that the RDS broadcast station being received has traffic announcement programmes.

off “TA” in the display and stops TP station search- ing.

Auto store function for TP stations

You can automatically store up to 6 TP stations into preset memory. If the number of TP that can be received is less than 6, broadcast stations already stored in memory are left without being overwritten.

With "TA" lit in the display, press and hold the [P/A] button for 2 seconds or longer. The TP stations with the good reception sensitivity are stored into present memory.

∗Even if you select FM1 or FM2, a TP station is stored into memory for FM3.

PTY

This function enables you to listen to a broadcast of the selected programme type when it starts even if the unit is on a function mode other than radio.

∗Some countries do not yet have PTY broadcast.

∗In the TA standby mode, a TP station has priority over a PTY broadcast station.
