Changing the displayed item

Each time you press (AF/TA), the item changes as follows:

Ó AF on Ó TA on ÓAF TA on*

AF TA off Ò

*Select this to turn on both the AF and TA functions.

Notes

•When “NO AF” and the station name flash alternately, it means that the unit cannot find an alternative station in the network.

•If the station name starts flashing after selecting a station with the AF function on, this indicates that no alternative frequency is available. Push the SEEK/AMS control up or down while the station name is flashing (within eight seconds). The unit starts searching for another frequency with the same PI (Programme Identification) data (“PI SEEK” appears and no sound is heard). If the unit cannot find another frequency, “NO PI” appears, and the unit returns to the previously selected frequency.

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.

Note

This function does not work in the United Kingdom and in some other areas.

Local link function (UnitedKingdom only)

The Local Link function lets you select other local stations in the area, even if they are not stored on your number buttons.

1 Press a number button that has a local station stored on it.

2 Within five seconds, press the number button of the local station again.

3 Repeat this procedure until the desired local station is received.

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.

Tip

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.

Notes

•“NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received station does not broadcast traffic announcements. Then, the unit starts searching for a station that broadcasts it.

•When “EON” appears with “TP” in the display, the current station makes use of broadcast traffic announcement of other stations in the same network.
