'00 AVALON U (L/O9908) A type search in progress can be canceled by pushing the following buttons: "SEEK", "TUNE", "SCAN", "AM", "FM", any preset button, "CD" (if CD mode is available), "TAPE" (if tape mode is available), "RDS", "SRCH", "", "TRAF", or "LOAD". If any of these buttons is pressed, the search will be canceled and the appropriate function started. Inserting a tape can also cancel the search. If no RDS stations are found, "FOUND 0 RDS" will display and the radio will return to the previous FM mode and frequency. ST (Stereo reception) display Your radio automatically changes to stereo reception when a stereo broadcast is received. "ST" appears on the display. If the signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the amount of channel separation to prevent the weak signal from creating noise. If the signal becomes extremely weak, the radio switches from stereo to mono reception. TAPE Push "TAPE" to switch from radio or compact disc operation to cassette operation. If the audio system is off, you can turn on the cassette player by pushing "TAPE". In both cases, a cassette must already be loaded in the player. TRACK (Track up/down button): Compact disc player By using this button, you can skip up or down to a different track. Push either side of the track button until the number of the track you want to listen to appears on the display. If you want to return to the beginning of the current track, push the down side of the button one time, quickly. TRAF (Traffic) This button turns the traffic announcement (TA) feature on and off. This button can operate in RDS mode, or if the FM radio, cassette player or compact disc player is on. By pushing this button, RDS is turned on if it was off ("RDS" will display), and traffic announcement feature is on. "TRAF" appears on the display when the radio is tuned to a traffic station. When the traffic announcement feature is on, "< >" will be displayed around "TRAF" (""). If the current station is not a traffic station, the radio will start a traffic program search in increasing frequency order. During a traffic program search, "Seek Traffic" will display. If no traffic programs are found, "No Traf Info" will display. If the radio receives a traffic announcement, it will interrupt the cassette player or compact disc mode (if either one was on), adjust the volume to Traffic Announcement level, and broadcast the traffic announcement. During a traffic announcement, "Traf Announce" will appear on the display. After traffic announcement, it will return to the previous mode and volume level. TA volume memory function-The volume when receiving the traffic announcement is memorized. When "TA" is received next time, the system compares the volume before "TA" is received and the memorized TA volume and automatically selects the louder volume. However, the range of volume memory is limited: if the volume received previously is less than the minimum, this volume will be the minimum range. You can adjust the volume independently from the memorized TA volume range while receiving a TA station. 191
