Listening to a regional programme

The “REG on” (regional on) function lets you stay tuned to a regional programme without being switched to another regional station.

(Note that you must turn the AF function on.) The unit is factory preset to “REG on,” but if you want to turn off the function, do the following.

1 During radio reception, press (SHIFT), then press (4) (PLAY MODE) repeatedly until “REG” appears.

2 Press (5) (n) repeatedly until “REG off” appears.

3 Press (SHIFT).

Note that selecting “REG off” might cause the unit to switch to another regional station within the same network.

To return to regional on, select “REG on” in step 2 above.

Listening to traffic announcements

The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic Programme (TP) data let you automatically tune in an FM station that is broadcasting traffic announcements even if you are listening to other programme sources.

Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “TA on” or “AF TA on” appears.

The unit starts searching for traffic information stations. “TP” appears in the display when the unit finds a station broadcasting traffic announcements. When the traffic announcement starts, “TA” flashes. The flashing stops when the traffic announcement is over.

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.

To cancel the current traffic announcement

Press (AF/TA) or (SOURCE).

To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off the function by pressing (AF/TA) until “AF TA off” appears.
