Receiving traffic
announcements
TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you re-
ceive traffic announcements automatically, no
matter what source you are listening to. TA
can be activated for both a TP station (a sta-
tion that broadcasts traffic information) or an
enhanced other network’s TP station (a station
carrying information which cross-references
TP stations).

work’s TP station.
When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced
other network’s TP station the TP (
) indica-
tor will light.

nouncement standby on.
Press TA/NEWS and TA ON appears in the
display. The tuner will stand-by for traffic an-
nouncements.
# To turn traffic announcements standby off,
press TA/NEWS again.
3 Use MULTI-CONTROL to adjust the TA
volume when a traffic announcement be-
gins.
Rotate it to increase or decrease the volume.
The newly set volume is stored in memory and
recalled for subsequent traffic announce-
ments.
4 Press TA/NEWS while a traffic an-
nouncement is being received to cancel the
announcement.
The tuner returns to the original source but re-
mains in the standby mode until TA/NEWS is
