Entering the secret code
Entry of the secret code is required to allow the radio
to work after each reconnection to the car electric
system.
Connecting the radio to the car supply, the display
shows the word “CODE” for about 2 seconds,
followed by four dashes “----”.
The secret code comprises four figures from 1 to 6,
each corresponding to one of the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press the
corresponding key of the preset stations (from 1 to 6).
Enter the other code digits in the same way.
If the four figures are not entered within 20 seconds,
the display shows the word “CODE” for 2 seconds
and then four dashes “----”. This is not to be
considered as an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds), the
radio starts working.If a wrong code is entered, the radio sounds a “beep”,
the display shows the word “CODE” for 2 seconds
and then four dashes “----” to warn the user that it is
necessary to enter the correct code.
Every time the user enters a wrong code, the waiting
time increases gradually (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16
min, 30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) until reaching a
maximum of 24 hours.
The waiting time will be shown on the display with the
word “WAIT”. When this goes off it is possible to
start the new code entry procedure.
CODE Card
This the document that certifies possession of the
radio. The Code Card contains the radio model, serial
number and secret code.
The secret code shall be entered again each time the
sound system power is disconnected.
IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card carefully to be
able to give the related data to the competent
authorities in the event of theft.

the sound system will stay on for max. 20 minutes
after turning the ignition key to STOP.
IMPORTANT Should the sound system turn off
automatically after turning the ignition key to STOP
(for both immediate or 20-minute delayed
deactivation), it will turn on automatically when
turning the ignition key to MAR. When the sound
system is turned off using the relevant button 21

it is possible to select the following functions in
sequence:
❒TUNER (Radio);
❒TAPE (Cassette) (only if the tape is inserted);
❒CHANGER (CD Changer) (only if the CD Changer
is connected).
After each change of the listening source, the display
shows the function selected: TUNER, TAPE or
CHANGER for about 2.5 seconds and then starts
playing.
001-050 ING 21-06-2007 15:48 Pagina 20

The functions that cannot be selected (e.g.: “TAPE”
when the cassette is not inserted) are automatically
disabled. If the cassette is not inserted or the CD
Changer is not connected, pressing button 6 (SRC-SC)
the display will show the message “NO CD” for about
2.5 seconds, then the sound system will set

Pause function
If while listening to a cassette or Compact Disc
another function is selected (e.g. the radio), playing is
stopped and when the cassette or Compact Disc
mode is resumed, it starts again from the point in
which it was stopped.
If while listening to the radio another function is
selected, when the Radio mode is resumed, it is tuned
to the last station selected.Volume adjustment
Press the “VOL+” button (22) to increase the volume
or “VOL–” (20) to lower it.
Pressing the button briefly the change is gradual by
steps.
Pressing longer, the change is fast. For a few seconds

high, check whether the Fader function is set to “F”
(front). Fader setting to “R” (rear) will actually reduce
the sound system output till muting the volume if the
value set is R+9.

Presetting buttons
The buttons with symbols from 1 to 6 (“18”, “17”,
“16”, “15”, “14”, “13”) make it possible to set the
following presettings:
❒18 in the FM band (6 in FM1, 6 in FM2, 6 in FMT);

band and then press briefly the corresponding preset
button (from 1 to 6). For a few seconds the display
will show the number of the station preset and the
related frequency before showing the frequency band
and the name of the RDS station.
If the PI code (Program Index) can no longer receive at
the frequency allocated to a preset button, the radio
will start searching this PI on another frequency as
soon as the car leaves the area covered by the
previous frequency. The display will show “SEARCH”.
Should it be not possible to receive the PI stored on a
frequency after searching along the whole band, la
radio will tune to the stored frequency.
Pressing the respective preset button for longer than 2
seconds will store the tuned station (the sound system
will always store the frequency and the PI code).

automatically searching the tuning for the next station
that it is possible to receive in the direction chosen.

N) or 10 (O) is pressed for longer, quick
searching takes place: upon having tuned in to the first
well receivable station, the tuner stops for about 1
second (in Mute) before quick searching continues.
When the button is released, the tuner stops on the
next receivable station.
