Some stations that do not have their own traffic news support the TP function
by broadcasting traffic announcements from other stations (EON). Traffic
announcements broadcast by the linked traffic stations interrupt the current
Audio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off•Press the unit button ⇒ page 8, fig. 1.•If the station that is currently selected in FM mode does not support the
TP function, the unit will automatically search for a TP station (display: TP
SEEK ).•The TP function is switched off by pressing the unit button.
TP function activated
While traffic news monitoring is switched on and active, TP is displayed at the
top left of the screen ⇒page 16, fig. 9 .
In FM mode , the selected station must support the TP function. If a station
selected via the station buttons or manual tuning does not support the TP
function, traffic news monitoring is not possible (display: NO TP).
If the currently selected traffic news station can no longer be received, NO TP
is also displayed and you will need to start a manual station search using the
rocker switch ⇒ page 13.
During a station search with the arrow buttons or the scan function (SCAN),
the unit will only tune to stations that support the TP function.
In AM mode or Media mode or while the unit is muted, the unit will always
automatically tune to a traffic news station in the background, provided the
reception of said station is good. This may take some time depending on the
situation. In AM mode or Media mode the currently selected traffic news
station is displayed next to TP ⇒ page 16, fig. 10 .
Incoming traffic announcement (INFO)An incoming traffic announcement (display: TP-INFO) will interrupt the active
Audio mode.•If required, the radio is switched to the traffic news station (EON) for the
duration of the traffic announcement.•The Media mode will be paused and the volume will be adjusted to the
preset level.•During a traffic announcement, the traffic announcement volume setting
can be adjusted with the volume control
 . The adjusted setting will be
applied to subsequent announcements.
•Interruption by a traffic announcement can be stopped by pressing the
unit button. The TP function remains active and the next traffic announce-
ment will again interrupt the current Audio mode.Media modeIntroduction“ Media sources ” are audio sources containing audio files on various different
data media (e.g. CD, external MP3 player). These audio files can be played by
the radio system from its corresponding players or audio input sockets
(internal CD player , external CD changer, AUX-IN multi-media socket).

18•Settings menus ⇒page 33Media source and audio file requirementsFactory-fitted CD players conform to safety class 1 according to
DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837.
The unit only accepts 12-cm standard CDs.
The supported file formats listed are collectively referred to below as “audio
files”. A CD containing audio files of these types is referred to as an “audio
data CD”. Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high temperatures and mechanical damage may
render a data medium unusable. Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers
may lead to problems during playback.
Observe copyright laws!
CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format cannot be played. Under Windows
Vista
® ensure that the correct format is selected.
The unit may be unable to read individual tracks or the entire data medium
due to the data medium configuration or the devices and programs used for
recording. Information can be found on th e Internet on the best ways to create
audio files and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read a data medium
containing compressed audio files (MP3, WMA etc.) than a “normal” audio
CD. Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data
medium.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in a
playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not on the data medium
at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).
