Using Standby Reception
Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite program (PTY: Program
TYpe) and Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM RDS station, CD,
and other connected components).
Note:
Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.
TA Standby Reception
Press TP/RDS briefly to activate TA Standby Reception.
The TP indicator either lights up or flashes on the display. (See below)
• If you press the button while listening to an FM RDS station supporting
TA signal, the TP indicator lights up. This receiver now stands by for the
TA signal reception.
• If you press the button while listening to an FM RDS station NOT
supporting TA signal, the TP indicator flashes.
In this case, this receiver cannot stand by for TA signal reception.
To use TA Standby Reception, tune into a station supporting TA signal by
pressing
¢
or
4
. “SEARCH” (or “LOCAL SEARCH”: see page
6) appears on the display, and the unit searches for a station supporting
TA signal. When a station supporting the signal is tuned in, the TP indicator
is lit. NOW this receiver stands by for the TA signal reception.
• If you press the button while listening to any other source than AM;
This unit starts searching for an FM station supporting TA signal in the
background — without affecting your listening to the source currently
selected. (During this background search, the TP indicator flashes.)
– The TP indicator stops flashing and remains lit when an FM station
supporting TA signal is tuned in the background. This receiver now stands
by for the TA signal reception.
– The TP indicator keeps flashing when an FM station supporting TA signal
is NOT tuned in the background. In this case, this receiver cannot stand
by for TA signal reception.
How TA Standby Reception works:
If a Traffic Announcement starts broadcasting while TA Standby Reception is activated (the
TP indicator should be lit on the display), “TRAFFIC” appears and the unit tunes into the
station broadcasting Traffic Announcement. The volume increases to the preset TA volume
level (see page 17) and the Traffic Announcement can be heard.
To deactivate TA Standby Reception, press TP/RDS briefly again.
Each time you press the button, TA Standby Reception turns on and off.
