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 announce-
ment standby on.
# To turn off, press TA/News again.
3 Use Vol to adjust the TA volume when
a traffic announcement begins.
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.
# You can also cancel the announcement by
pressing
SRC/Off, B or MULTI-CONTROL while a
traffic announcement is being received.
