MSS function 
MSS = Music-Search-System 
This function can be used to forward/rewind to the beginning of the track to obtain the "skip track" or 
"repeat track" function. 
Pauses of at least 3 seconds are left between tracks for the MSS function (without an announcement 
text). Musical pieces with very low passages (e.g. classical music) are not suitable because these are 
treated as pauses. 
Activating MSS 
The MSS function can be turned on or off from the EXPERT menu; the standard condition is MSS ON 
In this configuration, press key B to make the radio skip a number of tracks corresponding to the number 
of presses on the key; «+ --« appears on the display. 
Example: 3 short presses on the key: skip three tracks;; «+3» appears on the display. 
When keys A or B are pressed for longer than 2 seconds, the CD player is made to forward/rewind fully 
to the end of the tape. 
If the MSS function is deactivated ( from EXPERT) a short press on key A or B allows fast forward or 
fast rewind of the tape.

ADVICE AND PRECAUTIONS 
RECEPTION CONDITIONS 
The reception conditions will vary greatly while driving. 
Reception can be affected by mountains, buildings or bridges especialy when far away from the transmit
ter of the station you are listening to. 
Note: when listening to traffic information (TA), the volume may rise considerably compared to normal 
levels. 
MAINTENANCE 
The radio is built for long-term use without any special maintenance requirements. 
If necessary, clean the panel with a soft, antistatic cloth. Cleaning and polishing products could damage 
the surface. 
TAPES 
For optimal playing conditions: 
- do not use poor quality tapes, with deformations or peeling labels; 
- do not leave the tape inside the radio when not in use; 
- do not introduce any objects into the cassette slot; 
- do not expose the tapes to sunlight, excessive temperature or high moisture levels; 
- replace the tapes in their cases after use; 
- dirt on the playing heads caused by tapes could eventually lead to a reduction in high tones during 
playing. It is therefore advisable to clean the playing heads at intervals using a special non-abrasive 
head cleaning tape; 
- it is preferable to C60 tapes or in the worst case C90 tapes to ensure optimum playing quality at all 
times. The very fine tape contained in very long cassettes could also break very easily; 
- avoid inserting cassettes with loose tapes, particularly if C90, because the tape could emerge and block 
the mechanism. If the radio detects a loose tape or similar problems, the cassette is in any case auto
matically ejected; 
- do not lubricate the tape mechanism; 
- do not touch the playing heads with magnetic or hard items.

COMPACT DISC 
When using the Compact Disc player, remember that dirt or marks on the CD could cause the track to 
jump or lead to poor sound quality. 
The same thing happens if CDs are inadvertantly bent. 
For optimum playing conditions: 
- carefully clean each CD to remove fingerprints and dust using a soft cloth; 
- hold the CDs at the edges and clean from the middle outward; 
- never use chemical products to clean (e.g. sprays, antistatic products or thinners) because they could 
damage the CD surfaces; 
- replace the CDs in their containers after use to avoid creating marks or scratches that could cause the 
tracks to jump; 
- do not expose the CDs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or moisture for long periods. Avoid bend
ing; 
- do not stick labels onto or write on the recorded surfaces of CDs; 
- to remove a CD from its case, press in the centre and lift the disc out by holding carefully around the 
edges; 
- always hold CDs by the edges. Never touch the surface; 
- new CDs may be rough around the edges. When these discs are used, the radio may not play correctly. 
- do not use CDs that are scratched, cracked or deformed etc. The use of such discs could lead to mal
function or damage.
