RDS Operations
TA (Traffic Announcement)
In the TA standby mode, when a traffic an-
nouncement broadcast starts, the traffic an-
nouncement broadcast is received as top prior-
ity regardless of the function mode so you can
listen to it. Traffic programme (TP) automatic
tuning is also possible.

the display. When “TP” is lit, this means that the
RDS broadcast station being received has traffic
announcement programmes.

cast is being received, the traffic announcement
broadcast reception is cancelled and the unit
goes into the TA standby mode.
