“INFORMATION” MENU

Behaviour of TMC and TA

If you switch on TMC Scan, you ensure that the radio will only search for stations transmitting TMC data during the automatic search.

If the reception quality of the TMC station deteriorates drastically, the unit will indicate this by outputting a warning message.

If you do not need guidance or are listening to an audio CD, yet you do not wish to go without current traffic announcements, switch on the TA Scan function. In that case the radio will play the traffic announcements even if it is in CD or CD changer mode or muted.

Depending on the selected function and the station, the radio display will show the TA or TMC status:

■Traffic announcements from other stations - EON

With the RDS function EON (Enhanced Other Networks) you will hear traffic announcements even if the set station does not transmit its own traffic information but is operating on a network with other stations.

If you have activated TA Scan, stations with EON will be treated like TA stations, i.e. the search will also stop at these stations.

✎When a traffic announcement is made, the unit switches to a traffic information station linked to EON. The program name of the traffic information station is displayed during the traffic announcement. After the announcement, the unit returns to the previous program.
