Limiting stations to regional
programming
When AF is used to automatically retune fre-
quencies, the regional function limits the selec-
tion to stations broadcasting regional
programs.
1 Press FUNC and then press REG to select
the regional mode.
2 Press REG to turn the regional function on.
The light illuminates.
• Press REG again to turn the regional function
off.
Notes
• Regional programming and regional networks
are organized differently depending on the
country (i.e., they may change according to
the hour, state or broadcast area).
• The preset number may disappear from the
display if the tuner tunes in to a regional sta-
tion which differs from the originally set sta-
tion.
• The regional function can be turned on or off
independently for each FM band.
Receiving traffic announcements
The TA (traffic announcement standby) function
lets you receive traffic announcements auto-
matically, no matter what source you are listen-
ing to. The TA function can be activated for both
a TP station (a station that broadcasts traffic
information) or an enhanced other network’s TP
station (a station carrying information which
cross-references TP stations).
Turning the TA function on or off
1 Press 2 or 3 to tune in to a TP or
enhanced other network’s TP station.
The “TRFC” indicator lights when the tuner is
tuned in to a TP station or an enhanced other
network’s TP station.
2 Press TA to turn the TA function on.
The “3TRFC” indicator lights, indicating that
the tuner is waiting for traffic announcements.
• Press TA again when no traffic announce-
ment is being received to turn the TA function
off.
Notes
• The system switches back to the original
source following traffic announcement recep-
tion.
• The TA function can be activated from sources
other than the tuner if the tuner was last set to
the FM band but not if it was last set to the
MW/LW band.
• If the tuner was last set to FM, turning on the
TA function lets you operate other tuning
functions while listening to sources other
than the tuner.
• If you switched the TA function on while tuned
in to neither a TP nor an enhanced other net-
work’s TP station, only “T” in the “3 TRFC”
indicator lights.
