TIPS

Road safetyFamiliarise yourself with the various car ra-dio fuctions (for example, memorize the sta-tions) before starting to drive.

The car radio has been designed in accor-dance with the passenger compartmentspecifications and has been personalized sothat it is integrated with the style of thedashboard.The instructions for usage are given belowand we recommend that they are closely fol-lowed.

Reception conditionsReception conditions change constantlywhile driving. Reception may be interferedwith by the presence of mountains, build-ings or bridges when you are far from thebroadcaster.IMPORTANT The volume may be increasedwhen receiving traffic bulletins.

Care and maintenanceOnly clean with a soft, anti-static cloth.Cleaning and polishing products could dam-age the surface.

If the volume is too loud thiscould be dangerous for the

driver and for passengers when dri-ving in traffic. Always adjust the vol-ume so that you can still hear back-ground noises.


6 PRESENTATION

❍ never use chemical cleaning products(e.g. spray cans or anti-static productsor thinners) because they could damagethe surface of the CDs;

❍ after listening to them place CDs backin their casings to avoid damage tothem;

❍ do not expose CDs to direct sunlight,high temperatures or dampness for longperiods;

❍ do not stick labels on the surface of theCD and do not write on the recorded sur-face using pens or pencils;

❍ do not use CDs that are very scratched,flawed, distorted, etc. Using discs likethis will result in malfunctions or dam-age to the player;

❍ the use of original CD supports is re-quired for the best quality audio produc-tion . If CD-R/RW supports that have notbeen correctly mastered and/or with amaximum capacity above 650 MB areused, correct operation is not guaran-teed.

❍ do not use the protective sleeves soldfor CDs or discs with stabilizers, etc. be-cause they could get stuck in the inter-nal mechanism and damage the disc;

CDDirt, scratches or any distortions on CDscould cause problems when playing andpoor sound quality. Follow this advice for op-timum conditions:❍ only use branded CDs:

❍ clean every CD to remove any finger-marks or dust using a soft cloth. HoldCDs around the outside circumferenceand clean them from the middle out-wards;

❍ if copy protected CDs are used, it maytake a few seconds beore the systemstarts playing them. The CD player can-not be guaranteed to play all protecteddiscs. The fact that the CD is protectedfrom being copied is often shown in verysmall letters or is difficult to read on theactual CD cover where it may way, forexample, “COPY CONTROL”, “COPYPROTECTED”, “THIS CD CANNOT BEPLAYED ON A PC/MAC”, or it may beidentified through the use of symbols,such as, for example:

❍ The CD player is capable of reading mostcompression systems currently in use(e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING, FRAUN-HOFER) but, following the developmentof those systems, the playback of allcompression formats is not guaranteed.

It is possible, with the TA function, to:❍ search for RDS stations only that broad-

cast on the FM band enabled to trans-mit traffic information;

❍ riceive traffic information even if the CDplayer is working;

❍ riceive traffic information at a minimumpreset volume even with the radio vol-ume zeroed.

IMPORTANT In some countries there are ra-dio stations that do not broadcast traffic in-formation even with the TP function acti-vated (“TP” on the display).If the radio is working on the AM band,when the TA function is activated it willswitch to the last station tuned into onto theFM1 band.

The volume at which the traffic update istransmitted depends on the reception vol-ume:❍ listening volume less than 5: traffic up-

date volume equal to 5 (fixed value);❍ listening volume more than 5: traffic up-

date volume +1 compared with listen-ing volume.

If the volume is changed during a traffic up-date, the level will not be shown on the dis-play; the new level will be maintained on-ly during the update.The display will show the words TRAFFICINFORMATION whilst a traffic update is be-ing received.The TA function can be interrupted bypressing any of the radio buttons.



REGIONAL MODE functionSome national broadcasters will transmit re-gional programmes at certain times of theday (that vary from region to region).

TELEPHONE PREPARATIONIf a hands-free kit is installed on the car,when there is an incoming phonecall the ra-dio audio will be connected to the telephoneoutput. The incoming telephone sound is al-ways at a fixed volume, but it can be adjust-ed during the conversation using theON/OFF button/knob.The fixed telephone audio volume can beadjusted using the “EXT Audio” function inthe Menu. The word PHONE will appear onthe display during the deactivation of the au-dio for the phonecall.

ANTI-THEFT PROTECTIONThe radio is equipped with an anti-theft pro-tection system based on the exchange of in-formation between the radio and the elec-tronic control unit (Body Computer) on thecar.This system guarantees maximum securityand avoids the secret code having to be en-tered every time after the radio power sup-ply is disconnected.If the outcome of the check is positive, theradio will start to work, whilst if the codescompared are not the same or if the elec-tronic control unit (Body Computer) is re-placed, the equipment will notify the user ofthe need to enter the password following theprocedure in the paragraph below.

Entering the passwordWhen the radio is switched on, if the pass-word is requested, the display will show “Ra-dio code” for about 2 seconds followed byfour dashes “- - - -”.The password is made up of four numbersfrom 1 to 6, each corresponding to one ofthe dashes.To enter the first number, press the buttoncorresponding to the preset stations (from1 to 6). Enter the other code numbers in thesame way.If the four digits are not entered within 20seconds, the display will show “Enter code- - - -”. If this occurs, it is not considered anincorrect code entry.



After the fourth number is entered (within20 seconds), the car radio will start to work.If an incorrect code is entered, the radio willemit a sound and the display will show“Radio blocked/wait” to notify the user ofthe need to enter the correct code.Each time the user enters an incorrect code,the waiting time will gradually increase (1min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30min,1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) up to amaximum of 24 hours. The waiting time willbe shown on the display by “Radioblocked/wait”. After the message disap-pears, the procedure of entering the codemay be started again.

INTRODUCTIONThis chapter only contains descriptions of thevariants to the operation of the CD MP3 play-er: as far as the operation of the radio is con-cerned, refer to the description in chapter“4” and “6”.NOTE MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technol-ogy licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thom-son multimedia.

MP3 MODEIn addition to playing normal audio CDs, theradio is also capable of playing CD-ROMs onwhich MP3 format compressed audio filesare recorded. The radio works according tothe methods described in chapter “5” whenan ordinary audio CD is inserted.The use of good quality supports burnt at theslowest possible speeds is recommended foroptimum quality.The files on the CD MP3 are in folders, withsequential lists of all the folders containingMP3 trackts (folders and sub-folders are allon the same level) and folders that do notcontain MP3 tracks cannot be selected.

The operating conditions and specificationsfor playing MP3 files are as follows:❍ the CD-ROMs used should be burnt in ac-

cordance with ISO9660 Specification;❍ the music files should have extension

“.mp3”: files with other extensions can-not be played;

❍ the sampling frequency range that canbe reproduced is: 44.1 kHz, stereo (96to 320 kbit/s) - 22.05 kHz, mono orstereo (32 to 80 kbit/s);

❍ tracks with variable bit-rates can be re-produced.

IMPORTANT Track names must not containthe following characters: spaces, ‘(apostophes), (e) (open and close brack-ets). When a CD MP3 is being burned,make sure that the file names do not con-tain these characters; otherwise, the car ra-dio will not be able to play those tracks.

DISPLAY INFORMATION

ID3-tag information displayIn addition to the information relating to thetime elapsed, the name of the folder andthe name of the file, the radio is also capa-ble of display ID3-TAG information relatingto the Title track, Artist and Author.The name of the MP3 folder shown on thedisplay corresponds to the name with whichthe folder was stored on the CD, followedby an asterisk.Example of a complete MP3 folder name:BEST OF *.If you wishh to display one of the ID3-TAGpieces of information (Title, Artist, Album)and this information has not been recordedfor the track played, the information willbe replaced by information relating to thename of the file.

SELECTION OF MP3 SESSIONSWITH HYBRID DICSIf a hybrid disc is loaded (Mixed Mode, En-hanced, CD-Extra) also containing MP3 files,the radio automatically starts to play the au-dio session. It is possible to move to theMP3 session whilst playing, by keeping theMEDIA button pressed for more than 2seconds.

IMPORTANT When this function is activated,the radio may take a few seconds to startplaying. Whilst it is checking the disc thewords “CD READING” will appear on the dis-play. If not MP3 files are detected, the radiowill start playing the audio session from thepoint where it was interrupted.

SELECTION OFNEXT/PREVIOUS FOLDERPress the N button to select the next fold-er or the O button to select the previousfolder. The display will show the number andthe name of the folder (e.g. “DIR 2XXXXXX”).XXXXXX: name of the folder (the displaywill only show the first 8 characters). Folder selection is done cyclically: after thelast folder, the first folder is selected andviceversa. If no other folder/track is selected in thenext 2 seconds, the first track in the newfolder will be played.If the last track on the folder currently select-ed is being played, the next folder will beplayed.

FOLDERS STRUCTURE The radio with MP3 player:❍ recognizes the folders that effectively
