USEFUL ADVICE
ROAD SAFETY
You should learn how to use the various
functions (e.g. storing the stations, etc.) be-
fore trying to use them while driving.
RECEPTION CONDITIONS
Reception conditions vary constantly while
the car is moving. Reception may be ef-
fected by mountains, buildings or bridges,
especially when you are a long way from
the broadcasting transmitter of the station
you are listening to.
IMPORTANTAn increase in volume
could occur when traffic announcements are
given.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The basic structure of the sound system en-
sures long-term operation without the need
for any particular maintenance. Get in touch
with aDealershipif anything goes wrong.
Only clean the front panel with a soft, an-
tistatic cloth. Cleaning or polishing agents
could damage the surface.
TAPES
For optimal playback:
– Do not use bad quality tapes, misshapen
cassettes or cassettes with the labels com-
ing unstuck.
– Do not leave the tape in the player when
not in use.
– Do not introduce any other object in the
tape deck.
– Do not leave tapes in direct sunlight or
expose them to excessive heat or moisture.
– Put cassettes back into their boxes af-
ter use.
– Dirt on the player head from tapes can,
in time, reduce treble during playback. We
recommend you clean the head periodical-
ly with a specific head cleaner tape (non
abrasive). If you drive with the vol-
ume too high you put both
your own life and that of
others in jeopardy. You should ad-
just the volume so that you can
hear noises from outside the car
(e.g. horns, ambulan-ce/police
sirens, etc.).

ENGLISH
– Ideally, use C-60 tapes. Do not use
tapes longer than C-90 to ensure constant,
optimal playback. Moreover, longer tapes
are very thin and can easily break.
– Avoid using cassettes with slack tape,
especially C-90 tapes. The tape could come
out of the cassette and block the mecha-
nism. However, if the player detects slack
tape or similar problems, the cassette will
be ejected automatically.
– Do not lubricate cassette mechanism.
– Do not touch the player head with mag-
netic or hard objects.COMPACT DISC
If you are using a CD player, remember
that dirt or marks on the CD can cause skip-
ping or bad sound quality in playback. The
same will occur if the CD is bent.
For optimal playback:
– Only use CDs with the following trade-
mark:– After use, put the CDs back in their cas-
es to avoid marking or scratching the discs.
This would cause skips in playback.
– Do not leave discs in direct sunlight or
expose them to high temperatures or mois-
ture for a long time to avoid bending them.
– Do not stick labels or write on the record-
ed side of a CD.
To remove the CD from its box, press the
middle and lift the CD holding it carefully on
the edges.
– Clean each CD carefully. Remove fin-
gerprints and dust with a soft cloth. Hold the
CD at the edge and clean from the centre
outwards.
– Never use chemical products (e.g.
sprays, antistatic products or thinners).
These products could damage the CD sur-
face.

Use a soft cloth, working from the mid-
dle towards, to remove fingerprints and dust
from the CD.
The edges of new CDs may be rough. The
player may not work or CD may skip when
using these CDs. Use a ball point pen or sim-
ilar to remove the rough edges.
