TA Function
The TA (Traffic Announcement standby) function lets you receive traffic
announcements automatically, no matter what source (tuner, cassette play-
er or multi-CD player) you are listening to. The TA function can be acti-
vated for either a TP station (a station that broadcasts traffic information)
or an EON TP station (a station carrying information which cross-refer-
ences TP stations).
7 Activating/Deactivating the TA Function

The "TP" indicator lights when the tuner is tuned to a TP station, and both
the "EON" and "TP" indicators light when it is tuned to an EON TP sta-
tion.
