Setting Af And Ta/Tp; Selecting Pty - Sony CDX-NC9950 Mode D'emploi

RDS services
This unit automatically provides RDS services as
follows:
AF (Alternative Frequencies)
Selects and retunes the station with the
strongest signal in a network. By using this
function, you can continuously listen to the
same programme during a long-distance drive
without having to retune the same station
manually.
TA (Traffic Announcement)/TP (Traffic
Programme)
Provides current traffic information/
programmes. Any information/programme
received, will interrupt the currently selected
source.
PTY (Programme Types)
Displays the currently received programme
type. Also searches your selected programme
type.
CT (Clock Time)
The CT data from the RDS transmission sets
the clock.
Notes
• Depending on the country/region, not all RDS
functions may be available.
• RDS will not work if the signal strength is too weak,
or if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting
RDS data.

setting.

and non-RDS stations with the AF/TA setting for
each.

Set AF/TA, then store the station with
BTM (page 16) or manually (page 18).

announcements so as to not miss hearing them.

the volume level.

Receiving emergency
announcements

currently selected source.
Staying with one regional
programme — Regional
When the AF function is on: this unit's factory
setting restricts reception to a specific region, so
you will not be switched to another regional
station with a stronger frequency.
If you leave this regional programme's reception
area, set "Regional" in "PlayMode" to "OFF"
(page 33).
Note
This function does not work in the UK and in some
other areas.
