Audio mode17
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).
