CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Tips on CD operation
To ensure perfect, high-quality CD reproduction,
only clean, undamaged CDs should be used.
Please do not stick any labels onto the CD’s.
Compact discs not being used should always be
stored in the CD rack from the Genuine Škoda
accessories range or in the original box.
Never leave CDs exposed to direct sunlight!
Notes on cleaning compact discs
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean CDs. Wipe the
disc in a straight line from the centre outwards.
Stubborn soiling can be removed with a commer-
cial CD cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
Never use fluids like petrol, paint thinner or
record cleaner, as these can damage the sur-
face of the CD!
Radio and CD operation
1 - Rotary/Push knob
The knob serves:
lSwitching on/off (ON/OFF).
l V
olume control (VOLUME).
Switching on/off (ON/OFF)
Briefly press the knob to switch the radio on
and off .
The
frequency and volume settings used before
the radio was last switched off will be reacti-
vated.
If the radio is on when the key is removed from
the ignition, it automatically switches off.
The radio will switch on automatically if the key is
replaced in the ignition. The radio can be switched on again when the
ignition key has been removed by pressing the
rotary/push knob
1. It will then switch off auto-
matically approximately 1 hour later to ensure
that the battery does not run flat.
This procedure can, however, be repeated as
often as required.
When the unit is switched off and the ignition key
has been removed, a flashing diode (see page
16) indicates that the radio is equipped with an
activated Anti-Theft Code.
If the radio unit makes no noise after switching on
and „SAFE“ is shown in the display, please refer
to the operating notes as of page 20.
Volume control (VOLUME)
The volume can be set by turning the knob .
„VOLUME“ is shown in the display with a settings
bar. The bar shows the change in volume.
The settings bar will disappear approximately 5
seconds after the volume has been altered.
Note
If the minimum volume is selected, the settings
bar will be shown with „MIN“ additionally in the
display.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
3 - TP button
Using the Traffic Program button you can control
traffic program functions (traffic information).
The TP function is switched on or off by pressing
the TP button. At the same time , a TA ready
mode (Traffic Announcement) is set up.
„TP“ will appear in the display when the TP func-
tion is switched on (e.g. „TP: ANTENNE“).
„TP: No TP“ will appear in the display if a TP sta-
tion cannot be found.
If the current station is not a TP station, the radio
automatically selects the last TP station listened
to (Last Station Memory). If this station is cannot be received, the radio will
automatically search for the next TP station with
a strong signal. „TP: TP-SeeK“ appears in the
display. The letters „TP“ appear in the display as
confirmation that a TP station is being received
(e.g. „TP: ANTENNE“).
The frequencies and names of stations broad-
casting traffic news announcements are frequently
posted along motorways and trunk roads.
It is possible to store 6 traffic information stations
in the TP mode.
Changing TP station
Using traffic radio rocker switch
7, TP stations in
the memory levels (e.g. FM1) can be selected.
Press the right side of the rocker switch to select
the next TP station.
Press the left side of the switch to select the
previous TP station.
Auto-TP
The function Auto TP is used to automatically
select the TP station with the strongest signal.
Press the traffic radio rocker switch 7 until „TP:
auto TP“ appears in the display. Release the
rocker switch.
A signal can be heard after approximately 5 sec-
onds and „TP: auto TP“ flashes. The radio will
look for the TP station with the strongest signal
and will display it.
TA ready mode
The TA ready mode makes it possible to listen
to traffic information reports. These reports will
be played at the programmed volume, even
when the volume is set at „very quiet“ or another
source (AM, CD) is being used. If the range of
the set traffic information station is left, the sta-
tion search function will start after approximately
30 seconds.
The system will automatically switch to mono
whilst in TA ready mode and the DSP menu
„TALK“ is activated for the duration of the an-
nouncement - see page 19.
Interrupting a traffic news announcement
In some situations it can occur that a traffic news
announcement is interrupted, e.g.:
- T
he announcement does not apply to this stretch of road.
- T
he announcement is very long and the part concerning this stretch of road is complete.
Press the TP button during
the announcement
which is to be interrupted.
T he announcement is interrupted and the pre-
vious operating mode - CD or radio - is resumed.
The traffic announcement is recorded in the TIM
memory and can be heard later. New traffic news
announcements will still interrupt the source be -
ing heard.
