Notes

!Regional programming and regional networks are organized differently depending on the country (i.e., they may change according to the hour, state or broadcast area).

!The preset number may disappear on the dis- play if the tuner tunes in a regional station which differs from the originally set station.

!The regional function can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.

Receiving traffic announcements

TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you re- ceive traffic announcements automatically, no matter what source you are listening to. TA can be activated for both a TP station (a sta- tion that broadcasts traffic information) or an enhanced other network’s TP station (a station carrying information which cross-references TP stations).

1Tune in a TP or enhanced other net- work’s TP station.

2Press TA to turn traffic announcement standby on.

Press TA and TA ON appears in the display. The tuner will stand-by for traffic announce-

ments.

# To turn traffic announcements standby off, press TA again.

3Use MULTI-CONTROL to adjust the TA volume when a traffic announcement be- gins.

Rotate it to increase or decrease the volume. The newly set volume is stored in memory and recalled for subsequent traffic announce- ments.
