Priority of traffic announcements Automatic seek tuning start  
ON/OFF (During cassette operation)  
Many FM broadcasters provide their service  
area with up-to-date traffic messages at re-  
gular intervals.  
All traffic program stations transmit a special  
signal in parallel to the radio program. Your  
car radio is able to identify such traffic pro-  
gram station by this TP signal. The display  
will indicate “TP” to confirm that a traffic  
program station is tuned in.  
If you press TA when a traffic announcement  
is played, the radio stops playing the messa-  
ge and switches to the previous mode. The  
priority of later traffic announcements re-  
mains on.  
Other radio stations do not air traffic announ-  
cements by themselves, but offer the possi-  
bility to receive the traffic announcements of

mately 30 seconds.  
This warning beep will also be released, if  
you press a preset button to recall a preset  
station without traffic program.

This car radio offers direct software control  
(DSC) to adjust a number of default settings  
to your personal needs and store them.  
The following step describes all the default  
settings which can be changed.  
Care of your audio equipment  
Inserting a tape  
We recommend you to use C-60/C-90 tapes  
only in your car stereo. Protect your tapes by  
storing them away from dirt and dust and do  
not expose them to excessive temperatures  
(above50°C).Inordertoensuresmoothtape  
operation, cold tapes should be warmed up  
before they are played. If dust collects on the  
rubber roller or on the audio head, problems  
may arise which affect tape operation or
