Radio mode
Traffic programme (TP)
If an RDS Diversity station broadcasts TP announcements,
the CD-, MP3,- CDC/AUX-, MW-, LW-, and SW modes can
be interrupted or the mute function suspended in order to
switch to the TP announcements. Moreover, you can listen to
one FM station while receiving TP announcements transmit-
ted by another FM station.
There are two ways to select a TP transmitter:
- automatic tracking
- direct programming
Automatic tracking always uses the FM station currently be-
ing received as the TP transmitter. If the selected FM station
has poor signal quality or cannot function as a TP transmitter,
the unit applies specified criteria to search for a new TP trans-
mitter.
With direct programming, a TP station other than the one
being listened to can be programmed. This means, for exam-
ple, that a particular FM station can be listened to whilst TP
announcements are received from another one.
If the programmed TP transmitter reception is poor, the unit
switches to automatic tracking until the programmed TP
transmitter can be restored.
If an RDS station features traffic programmes, this is indicat-
ed on the display by
TP.
An inverse appears on the display to indicate that the traf-
fic programme is active.
Activating / quitting the TP menu
Activating: Press the button (traffic announcements
must not be transmitted).
Press the multifunction button.
Quitting: Press the button; otherwise, the TP menu
will automatically disappear after 8 seconds if no further op-
erations are performed.
