Traffic Programme (TP)
If an RDS Diversity station broadcasts TP an-
nouncements, it is possible to interrupt CD, MP3,
CDC/AUX, MW, LW, SW play or the mute mode
and to switch to the TP announcements. Moreover,
you can listen to one FM station while receiving
TP announcements transmitted by another FM sta-
tion.
• There are two ways to select a TP transmitter:
- automatic tracking
- direct programming
With the automatic tracking function , the FM
station currently being listened to is used as the
TP station. If the selected FM station has poor
signal quality or cannot function as a TP trans-
mitter, the unit applies specified criteria to
search for a new TP transmitter.
With direct programming, a TP station other
than the one being listened to can be pro-
grammed. For example, one FM station and TP
announcements transmitted by another FM sta-
tion can be received simultaneously.
If the programmed TP transmitter reception is
poor, the unit switches to automatic tracking un-
til the programmed TP transmitter is receivable.
If an RDS station is equipped with traffic program-
ming, this is indicated by
TP in the display.
An inverse TP appears on the display to indi-
cate that the traffic programme is active.

nouncements cannot be transmitted).
