regional station can be received. When this
function is OFF, if the regional station area
switches as you drive, a regional station for
that region is received.

is ON and the REG function is OFF.
Note:
• This function can be used when a regional
broadcast of the same network is received.
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. Traffic programme (TP)
automatic tuning is also possible.
* This function can only be used when

traffic announcement programmes.

a traffic announcement broadcast is being
received, the traffic announcement broadcast
reception is cancelled and the unit goes into
the TA standby mode.

[TA]
button. The “
TA
” in the display goes off and
the TA standby mode is cancelled.

priority over a PTY broadcast station.
