Modifications to radio mode
The following modifications have been made to radio mode:
•

•

Traffic Programme (TP)
If an RDS diversity transmitter transmits TP announcements,
it is possible to interrupt CD, CDC/AUX, MW, LW or SW
operation or the mute function and to switch through the
transmitted TP announcement. Moreover, you can listen to
one FM station while having TP announcements switched
through that are transmitted by another FM station.
The functionality of the traffic programme functions depends
on the status of the TMC setting - TMC switched on/off
(“Switching TMC on/off” on page 22)
When TMC is switched off:
•
There are two ways to select a TP transmitter:
- automatic tracking
- direct programming
Automatic tracking
always uses the FM station currently
being received as the TP transmitter. If the selected FM
station has poor reception quality or cannot function as a
TP transmitter, the unit applies specified criteria to search
for a new TP transmitter.
Direct programming
enables a TP transmitter to be pro-
grammed that is not the FM station being received. For ex-
ample, one FM station can be received while TP
announcements transmitted by another FM station are
switched through.
If the programmed TP transmitter reception is poor, the
unit switches to automatic tracking until the programmed
TP transmitter is receivable.
When TMC is switched on:
•
With TMC, the unit is capable of selecting a suitable traf-
fic programme transmitter automatically. If possible, a
TMC station is selected as the traffic programme transmit-
ter. The selected TMC station usually offers the best traf-
fic information for the region in which you are travelling.
If no TMC station is available, the traffic programme
transmitter with the strongest signal is selected.
If an RDS transmitter is equipped with a traffic programme,
this is indicated on the display by
!
.
An inverse
TP appears on the display to indicate that the
traffic programme is active.
