Using Radio Data System (RDS)
AF continuously retunes the station to the strongest
signal in a network, and TA provides current traffic
information or traffic programs (TP) if received.

Press AF/TA to select [AF-ON], [TA-ON],
[AF/TA-ON] or [AF/TA-OFF].
To store RDS stations with the AF and TA
setting
You can preset RDS stations along with an AF/TA
setting. Set AF/TA, then store the station with BTM
or manually. If you preset manually, you can also
preset non-RDS stations.
To receive emergency announcements
With AF or TA on, emergency announcements will
automatically interrupt the currently selected
source.
To adjust the volume level during a traffic
announcement
Level will be stored into memory for subsequent
traffic announcements, independently from the
regular volume level.
