You can listen to traffic information. If you are listening to tapes or discs, they will continue playing until a traffic bulletin is broadcast.
Turning TI function On/Off:Press the TI button to turn the function on and off. When the function is on, the TI indicator is turned on.
When none is being received, the TI indicator will blink on and off. When a traffic information station is being received, the TI indicator will turn on.
When a traffic bulletin begins to be broadcast, "TRAFFIC" will be displayed, and reception will begin at the preset volume. If you are listening to a tape or disc when a traffic bulletin begins, they will automatically be turned off. When the bulletin ends or poor reception is experienced, the tape or disc will begin playing again.
NOTE
Pressing the TI button whilst in the MW/LW band automatically switches reception to the FM band. However, the MW/LW band is not returned to when the TI button is pressed again.
Switching to a Different Traffic Information Station:Use the 4 / ¢ buttons to make an auto seek of the TI stations in a certain band.
NOTE
•When you are listening to a tape or disc, you cannot change to another TI station.
•When the auto TP seek function is turned on and reception starts to weaken, the tuner automatically seeks traffic information stations with better reception.
•If you are tuned to a station that is not a traffic information station itself but which provides <Enhanced Other Network> services, you can still have traffic information received.
•Holding down the TI button for one second or more when the TI function is on in the disc control mode results in a change to the frequency display of the traffic information station for five seconds.
Conduct auto seek tuning only on those stations with selected kinds of programmes.
