“AUDIO SETUP” FUNCTION
(AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS)
Audio parameters can be activated
and adjusted in the same way with all
the audio sources (Radio, CD, CD-
Changer and MP3).
Adjustment procedure is described
in the relevant paragraph in section
“AUDIO SETTINGS”.“TA” FUNCTION
(TRAFFIC INFORMATION)
Certain stations in the FM band
(FM1, FM2, FM3 and FMST) are also
enabled to broadcast information
about the conditions of the traffic. In
this case the displays shows the ab-
breviation “TP”.
To turn on/off the TA function (Traf-
fic Announcement) for traffic bulletins,
press the knob 22-fig. 1from the main
audio menu fig. 21. Turn and press the
knob 22-fig. 1to select “TA”. Select
“ENABLED” or “DISABLED” and then
press the knob again.
When the TA function is on, the dis-
play shows “TA” at the bottom of the
main screen on the left side.
The listening conditions and infor-
mation shown on the display may be
the following:
– TA and TP: you are tuned to a sta-
tion that broadcasts traffic information
and the traffic information function is on– TP: you are tuned to a station that
broadcasts traffic information but the
traffic information function is off
– TA: the traffic information function
is on but you are tuned to a station
that does not broadcast traffic infor-
mation
– TA and TP not shown on the display:
you are tuned to a station that does not
broadcast traffic information and the
traffic information function is off.
With the TA function on it is possi-
ble:
1)to search stations broadcasting
traffic info only in the FM band;
2)to receive traffic information al-
so if the CD/MP3 player is working;
3)to receive traffic information at a
preset minimum level also with the ra-
dio completely muted.

The operations to be carried out for
each of the above described conditions
are listed below.
1) To receive stations enabled to
broadcast traffic information:
– choose band FM1, FM2 or FM3;
– turn on the TA function so that the
display shows “TA”;
– start seeking the frequencies.
2) If you wish to receive traffic infor-
mation while listening to a CD, before
inserting the CD, tune to a station en-
abled to broadcast traffic information
(TP) and turn the TA function on. If,
while playing the CD, this station
broadcasts traffic information, CD
playing will be temporarily stopped and
resumed automatically at the end of
the message.
If the CD player is already working
and at the same time you wish to re-
ceive traffic information, turning on theTA function, the radio tunes to the last
station heard in the FM band and the
traffic announcements are transmitted.
If the station selected does not broad-
cast traffic information, an enabled sta-
tion is sought automatically.
To stop traffic announcement, turn
off the TA function while receiving traf-
fic messages.
If the tuned station belongs to the
EON (ENHANCED OTHER NET-
WORK) circuit, the display will show
“EON”
A telephone call has higher priority
than traffic message.
IMPORTANT In certain countries,
radio stations exist which though the
TP function is active (the display shows
“TP”), do not broadcast traffic infor-
mation.If the radio is working in the AM
band, choosing the FM band tunes to
the last station heard. If the chosen
station does not broadcast traffic in-
formation (“TP” not shown on the dis-
play), an automatic search is started
for an enabled station.
If the volume is changed during a traf-
fic bulletin the value is not shown on
the display and the new value is kept
only for the bulletin in progress.
IMPORTANTIf the TA function is
on and the station tuned is not enabled
to provide traffic information or is no
longer able to broadcast this informa-
tion (the display does not show “TP”),
after about 1 minute in which the ra-
dio is in these conditions:
– if a CD is being played another sta-
tion enabled to broadcast traffic in-
formation is sought automatically.

“AF” FUNCTION
(SEEKING ALTERNATIVE
FREQUENCIES)
Within the RDS system the radio can
work in two different modes:
– AF ENABLED: alternative fre-
quency search on;
– AF DISABLED: alternative fre-
quency search off.
When the signal of the RDS station
tuned weakens, the following two cas-
es may occur:
– With AF ENABLED the RDS sys-
tem activates automatic tuning of the
optimum frequency of the station cho-
sen, with the stations enabled, there-
fore the radio is automatically tuned
to the station with the strongest sig-
nal that is broadcasting the same pro-
gramme. During the journey it will
thus be possible to continue listening
to the station chosen without having
to change the frequency when chang-
ing area. Of course, the station being
listened to must be receivable in the
area the vehicle is crossing.– With AF DISABLED the radio will
not tune the strongest station auto-
matically and it will have to be found
manually using the tuner buttons.
To turn the “AF” function on/off, se-
lect and confirm “AF” by the knob 22-
fig. 1, from the main audio menu
fig. 21. Then, select and confirm “EN-
ABLED” or “DISABLED” by the knob
22-fig. 1.
When the AF function is on, “AF” is
displayed in the vertical list of main au-
dio screen.
The RDS channel name (if available)
is still shown on the display.“RDS” FUNCTION
The “RDS” function enables/disables
RDS string (showing the tuned station
name) display.
To turn the “RDS” function on/off,
select “RDS” by the knob22-fig. 1
from the main audio menu fig. 21,
then press the knob to select “YES” or
“NO”.
When the “RDS” function is on, the
display shows the string with tuned sta-
tion name.

“AUTOSTORE” FUNCTION
(AUTOMATIC STATION
STORAGE)
After selecting the AMST or FMST
band, to turn on the Autostore func-
tion (automatic station storage), select
and confirm “AUTOSTORE” with the
knob 22-fig. 1.
When this function is on, the radio
automatically stores the stations with
the strongest signal:
– 6 FM stations in the FMST band or
– 6 AM stations in the AMST band.
Stations will be stored automatically
on the multifunction keys 1 ÷ 6-fig. 1.
After storage, the radio tunes auto-
matically to the first station of the
FMAST band, corresponding to the fre-
quency stored on the multifunction key
1-fig. 1.Every station is stored only once, ex-
cept in the case of regional pro-
grammes which in certain cases might
be stored twice.
The behaviour of the set during Au-
tostore is as follows:
– at the beginning of the Autostore
function all the other functions are dis-
abled
– any change in volume is not shown
on the display
– pressing one of the multifunction
keys 1 ÷ 6-fig. 1the automatic stor-
age process is interrupted and the sta-
tion stored with that key is tuned
– selecting and activating a radio
function (e.g. PTY) the automatic stor-
age process is interrupted, the last sta-
tion heard before tuning on Autostore
is tuned and the function associated
with the key pressed is run– selecting and activating one or both
TA/AF functions during the automat-
ic storage process, automatic storage
will be interrupted, the TA (traffic in-
formation) and AF (alternative fre-
quencies) functions will be turned
on/off and a new automatic storage
process will be started
– changing the audio source (Radio,
CD) during the automatic storage
process, the Autostore function is in-
terrupted.
IMPORTANTIt may occur that
the Autostore function is unable to
find 6 stations with a strong signal; in
this case only the stations found are
stored.
IMPORTANTActivating the “Au-
tostore” function cancels the stations
stored previously in the FMST or
AMST band.
