Manually tuning a regional station in 
the same network
Note:
• This function can be used when a regional 
broadcast of the same network is received.
• This function is enabled only when the AF function
is ON, and the REG function is OFF.
1. Touch the [List] key on the RDS mode
screen.
2. Touch your desired Preset key to call out a
regional station.
3. Each time you touch the same Preset key, this
unit switches from a local station to the other 
on the same network.
TA (Traffic Announcement)
In the TA standby mode, when a traffic 
announcement broadcast starts, the traffic 
announcement broadcast is received as top 
priority regardless of the function mode, so you 
can listen to it. The Traffic Programme (TP) 
automatic tuning is also available.
• This function can only be used when “TP” is 
displayed on the screen. When “TP” is 
displayed, this means that the RDS broadcast 
station being received has traffic 
announcement programmes.
●Setting TA standby mode
1. Press the [TA] button when only “TP” is 
displayed on the screen.
“TP” and “TA” will be displayed on the screen, 
and this unit will be set to the TA standby 
mode until a traffic announcement is 
broadcast. When a Traffic Announcement 
broadcast starts, “TRA INFO” is displayed on 
the screen. 
If you press the [TA] button while a Traffic 
Announcement broadcast is being received, 
the Traffic Announcement broadcast 
reception is cancelled, and this unit goes into 
the TA standby mode.
●Cancelling TA standby mode
1. When “TP” and “TA” are displayed on the 
screen, press the [TA] button. “TA” on the 
screen goes off, and the TA standby mode is 
cancelled.
* If “TP” is not displayed, press the [TA] button to
search for a TP station.
●Searching for a TP station
1. When “TP” is not displayed, press the [TA]
button.
“TA” is displayed on the screen, and this unit 
automatically searches for a TP station.
Note:
• If no TP station is received, this unit continues the 
search operation. Pressing the [TA] button again 
makes the “TA” go off, and stops TP station 
searching.
Auto store function for TP stations
You can automatically store up to 6 TP stations 
into the preset memory. If the number of TP that 
can be received is less than 6, the broadcast 
stations already stored in memory are left without 
being overwritten.
1. When “TA” is displayed on the screen, touch 
the [List] key on the RDS mode screen.
2. Touch and hold the [AS] key for more than 2
seconds.
The TP stations with a good reception 
condition are stored into the preset memory.
* Even if you select FM1 or FM2, TP stations are
stored into the memory for FM3.
PTY
This function enables you to listen to a broadcast 
of the specified programme type when the 
broadcast starts, even if this unit operates in a 
source mode other than the TUNER.
• The factory default setting is “OFF”.
• Some countries do not yet have PTY 
broadcast.
• In the TA standby mode, a TP station has
priority over a PTY broadcast station.
Selecting PTY
1. Touch the [Option] key on the RDS mode
screen to display the RDS menu.
2. Touch the [Preset] key of the PTY SELECT
item.
This unit enters into the PTY select mode.
