RDS News and Traffic Announcement (TA)

or tape is interrupted by the news of a RDS station. This
only works if the RDS station broadcasts a NEWS signal
while sending the news.

2 Press NEWS/TA once or more on the remote control to
select the news option.
NEWS ON, TA ON or OFF is displayed briefly.

is displayed if you have activated the news or
TA option. Changing listening source will not disarm
the function.
Notes:
To avoid unwanted recordings, the NEWS announcement
does not work while recording a cassette.
When you receive RDS news or traffic announcements
during CD playback, playback will pause and you will be
able to hear the news/TA. Playback resumes after the
broadcast has finished. In tape mode, the tape continues
playing but you will hear the news/TA only until the
broadcast has finished.
If you are using the RDS NEWS announcement with an
EON station, the whole network is searched for the
respective news.
