Listening To Traffic Announcements - Sony MDX-C800REC Manual De Instrucciones

Notes
• When there is no alternative station in the area
and you do not need to search for an alternative
station, turn the AF function off by pressing (5)
(AF) repeatedly until "AF off" appears in step 3.
• When "NO AF" and the station name flash
alternately, it means that the unit cannot find an
alternative station in the network.
• If the station name starts flashing after selecting
a station with the AF function on, this indicates
that no alternative frequency is available. Press
either side of (SEEK/AMS) while the station name
is flashing (within 8 seconds). The unit starts
searching for another frequency with the same PI
(Programme Identification) data ("PI Seek"
appears and no sound is heard). If the unit
cannot find another frequency, "NO PI" appears,
and the unit returns to the previously selected
frequency.
• If you want to change the on/off setting while
you are playing a CD or an MD, press (5) (AF)
directly without pressing (SHIFT).
Listening to a regional programme
The "REG on" (regional on) function lets you
stay tuned to a regional programme without
being switched to another regional station.
(Note that you must turn the AF function on.)
The unit is factory-set to "REG on," but if you
want to turn off the function, do the following.
1
During radio reception, press (MENU),
then press either side of (DISC/PRST)
repeatedly until "REG on" appears.
2
Press the (+) side of (SEEK/AMS) until
"REG off" appears.
3
Press (ENTER).
Note that selecting "REG off" might cause
the unit to switch to another regional
station within the same network.
To return to regional on, select "REG on" in
step 2.
Note
This function does not work in the United
Kingdom and in some other areas.
32
Local Link function
(United Kingdom only)
The Local Link function lets you select other
local stations in the area, even if they are not
stored on your number buttons.

Press a number button ((1) to (6)) that
has a local station stored on it.
2
Within 5 seconds, press the number
button of the local station again.

Repeat this procedure until the desired
local station is received.
Listening to traffic
announcements
The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic
Programme (TP) data lets you automatically
tune in an FM station that is broadcasting
traffic announcements even if you are listening
to other programme sources.
1
Press (SHIFT).
2
Press (6) (TA) repeatedly until "TA on"
appears.
The unit starts searching for traffic
information stations. "TP" appears on the
display when the unit finds a station
broadcasting traffic announcements.
When the traffic announcement starts,
"TA" flashes. The flashing stops when the
traffic announcement is over.
3
Press (SHIFT).
Tip
If the traffic announcement starts while you are
listening to another programme source, the unit
automatically switches to the announcement and
goes back to the original source when the
announcement is over.
