Procedure for entering the security code:
SAFE 0000
Wrong code our radio uses special security code so called
comfort coding - which prevents theft. After
installing the radio in the car, the security code
is entered and the radio is ready for operation.
The code needs not be entered ever again.
This procedure has been performed by the
dealer before presenting your new car to you.
In case of disconnection and reconnection of
car battery, first switch on the power by the
starting key, then switch on the radio. If you
want to move the radio to other vehicle, or
when the radio requests the code, contact your
Škoda service. They will provide you with the
code.
As the radio can only be operated after having
entered the code, it is unusable when stolen.
Switch on the ignition and then switch on the
radio. The display shows and then .
Press preset buttons to enter the code.
Check the code for correctness and then press
Button .
If you make mistake when entering the code,
you can try again. Third entry of wrong code
will block the controls from operation for
1hour. In case of any problems, please contact
your Škoda service.

6 Care and maintenance
Information about disc playback Your radio requires no special maintenance,
but it can be damaged when foreign objects,
e.g. credit cards or coins, are inserted into the
CD slot.
For the best possible playback quality, use only
clean and undamaged discs. The drive is
designed for ordinary 12 cm discs.
Your radio can also play recordable CD- R discs
and re- recordable CD- RW discs as long as
each writing session is properly finalized. Full
compatibility with international standard for
CD- DA discs, so- called “Red Book” is
guaranteed. Some copy protected discs do not
conform to this standard and cannot be played.
Do not play irregularly shaped discs (heart-
shaped, etc.) or discs fitted with scratch
protection. Do not insert discs to which labels
are attached.
