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).
1 Tune in a TP or enhanced other net-
work
’s TP station.
The TP ( ) indicator will light.
2 Press TA/NEWS to turn traffic an-
nouncement standby on.
# To turn off, press TA/NEWS again.
3 Use MULTI-CONTROL to adjust the TA
volume when a traffic announcement be-
gins.
The newly set volume is stored in memory and
recalled for subsequent traffic announce-
ments.
4 Press TA/NEWS while a traffic an-
nouncement is being received to cancel the
announcement.
The tuner returns to the original source but re-
mains in the standby mode until
TA/NEWS is
pressed again.
Notes
! You can also turn this function on or off in the
menu that appears by using

source following traffic announcement recep-
tion.

tions are tuned in during seek tuning or BSM
