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 do not
hesilate to contact your Škoda Service Partner
or importeur. Procedure for entering the security code:

6Care 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 rewritable 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.

Discs, when not used, should be returned to
the box. Always hold the disc by the edges or by
an edge and the centre hole, and never touch
the active surface. Fingerprints or scratches
reduce sound quality and may render the disc
unreadable.
CDs exposed to direct sunlight or extreme
temperatures can warp and lock in the player.

Your radio provides you with quality sound
under normal conditions. The following text
will help you to maximize your listening
pleasure with ever increasing number of
available stations
In most cases, LW and MW signals are
unaffected by tall buildings or natural
obstacles. Some interference can be caused by Signal spread
LW/MW reception (AM) MP3 discs can hold many more songs than
ordinary CD- DA discs, because of high
compression ratio. Your radio can play files
with 8 to 320 kbps bit rate and 8 to 48 kHz
sampling, as long as each session is properly
finalized; the disc needs not be finalized.high voltage lines, bridges or lighting storms.
These disturbances are only temporary.
FM transmitters offer higher signal quality than
LW or MW transmitters. Moreover, stereo Hi- Fi
signal is transmitted.
FM transmitters are usually located at elevated
locations, e.g. tall buildings, hills, or in the
mountains. There is a reason for this - FM
signals are affected by “line of sight” issues and
their coverage is inherently limited. Usually, the
higher and more powerful the transmitter, the
bigger area is covered. Some local transmitters
or repeaters are low powered and can only be
tuned to within a few kilometers' area. More
powerful transmitters (usually operated by
networked stations) can be received at a
distance of up to 100 km. Anyway, when
exceeding a particular distance from the
transmitter, you have to tune your radio to
alternative frequency. When listening to
stations with weak signal, nearby stronger
stations can interfere with the reception. Such
interference usually occurs as you are nearing
the limit of the area covered by the particular
transmitter you are tuned to. FM reception

Signal echoes (multipath reception
Signal losses
Warranty)
FM signals reflect off buildings, hills and other
objects and these echoes may interfere with
direct signals. This may happen to any signal,
either strong or weak. Multipath reception
impair the signal, which causes minor audible
faults or even strongly disturbed signal.
FM signals behave like light and cannot
penetrate through buildings, hills, obstacles
etc. Thus places may appear with no signal
coverage, which causes a “crackly” sound
when going through these areas

of improper handling, operation, or
unauthorized repair. Warranty is void in case of
