USING THE RDS FUNCTIONS
8
9. Traffic broadcast recognition (TA, )
If the button TA/TPST is pressed for less than 1.5 seconds,
RDS-stations transmitting traffic information can be heard. TA is
displayed when this function is engaged. When the set is CD
mode, the radio automatically tunes to a strong FM station
transmitting traffic information in the back ground. If the CD player
is on, when a traffic announcement is transmitted, the CD is
interrupted and the announcement is received at normal volume.
Even if the volume is completely turned down, the traffic
announcement will be heard at normal volume. Once the
announcement ended, the previous volume is resumed. The CD
starts playing again.
Traffic information breaks through only when both TP and TA
are displayed at the same time.
If only TP is displayed, no traffic information is transmitted by the
current transmitter.
To give priority to search for stations transmitting traffic
information, press the TA button for more than 1.5 seconds.
TPST ON will be displayed.
To continue listening to a weak station not transmitting traffic
information, press TA button for more than 1.5 seconds, TPST
OFF will be displayed.
To disregard a traffic information message, press the TA button
for less than 1.5 seconds. And then TA indicator will be
disappeared.
RADIO
Traffic information recognition (TPST,
)
If the RDS-station tuned on, the unit recognizes RDS-frequencies
with traffic information(TPST). TPST will be indicated on the
display in reception of one of these frequencies.
NOTE
: During traffic announcement CD playing stops. You can
hear traffic announcement at normal volume also in low
volume status, if the TA-function is activated
PI seek
PI-automatic seek starts automatically, if you recall a preset button
when its reception is weak. PI-seek ends automatically if a station
with the same PI and a better reception is found. During seek the
unit is searching for a station with the same program
identification(PI) and a better reception. It is useful in some areas
where some stations send no AF-list.
If the radio doesn t find a station with the same PI-code, it returns
to the station you heard before.
