GLOSSARY
AF (Alternative Frequency)
Function that allows the radio to stay tuned on the FM
station selected also passing through areas served by
transmitters with different frequencies.
The RDS system actually keeps the intensity and
quality of the signal received under control,
automatically switching tuning on the frequency of the
transmitter that is sending the strongest signal.
Autoreverse
Function that makes it possible to listen to both sides
of the tape without having to turn the cassette over.
AutoSTore
Function with which it is possible to store
automatically radio stations with the strongest signal.
Balance (Channel balancing)
Function with which it is possible to suitably adjust the
sound from the right or left speakers.
Bass (Bass tones)
This function adjusts the bass tones.Blank Skip
Function that activates tape fast forward in the lack of
a signal. This way the waiting times between one piece
of music and another and at the end of the tape are
reduced.
CLR (Clear)
Function with which it is possible to clear one or all
the tracks of the CD stored with the TPM function.
CD Changer (where provided)
Multiple Compact Disc player.
Distant/Local (Sens Dx/Lo)
These are two levels of reception sensitivity.
1) Distant (maximum sensitivity), which makes it
possible to tune all the stations that can be
received.
2) Local (minimum sensitivity), which makes it possible
to tune only those stations with sufficiently strong
signals, such as for example local stations.

Manual station storage
The station being heard can be stored in the range
selected with buttons (“18”, “ 17”, “16”, “15”, “14”,
“13”) numbered from 1 to 6.
Keep one of these buttons (from 1 to 6) pressed until
receiving the confirmation “beep”. After storage, the
display shows the number of the button with which
the station has been stored.
AutoSTore function
(automatic station storage)
To switch on the Autostore function, keep button 7
(BN-AS) pressed until receiving the confirmation
“beep”. With this function the radio automatically
stores the six stations with the strongest signal in
decreasing order of intensity of the FMT frequency
band.
IMPORTANT Activating the AutoSTore function
cancels the stations stored previously in the FMT band.
If the TA function is on (traffic information), only the
stations that send traffic information will be stored.
This function may also be turned on when listening to
a tape or CD Changer (if installed).During automatic storage the display shows “A-
STORE”.
To interrupt AutoSTore press button 7 (BN-AS) again:
the radio will automatically tune to the station heard
before activation of the AutoSTore function.
At the end of the AutoSTore function the radio
automatically tunes on the first preset station in the
FMT band, stored on preset button 1 (18).
On buttons (“18”, “17”, “16”, “15”, “14”, “13”)
numbered from 1 to 6, the stations are automatically
stored that give a strong signal in that moment in the
present band.

The behaviour of the set during AutoSTore is as
follows:
❒at the beginning of the AutoSTore function all the
other functions are disabled;
❒pressing one of the radio function buttons, e.g.: 2
(PTY), 8 (
N), 9 (˜), 10 (O), 12 (÷), (13), (14),
(15), (16), (17), (18) the automatic storage process
is interrupted, the last station heard before
AutoSTore was turned on is tuned and the function
associated with the button pressed is run;
❒pressing button 1 (AF-TA) during AutoSTore will
interrupt it, the TA function (traffic information) will
be turned on/off and a new automatic storage
process will be started;
❒changing the listening source (Radio, Tape, CD
Changer) during automatic storage will not
interrupt the AutoSTore function.
❒activating the AutoSTore function in MW or LW
bands will automatically select the FMT band where
the function is then run.
IMPORTANT Sometimes the AutoSTore function is
unable to find 6 stations with a strong signal. In this
case, the free preset buttons will be shown on the
display, for about 2 seconds, by 4 dashes and the last
station heard will be returned.Listening to stored stations
Proceed as follows:
❒select the required frequency band (FM, MW, LW);
❒briefly press one of the six station storage buttons.
The display will show the number that corresponds to
the button.
In bands FM1, FM2 and FMT, if reception is poor and
the AF alternative frequency search function is active,
the station with the strongest signal that is
broadcasting the same programme will be sought
automatically.
AF function
(alternative frequency search)
Within the RDS system the radio can work in two
different modes:
❒“AF ON”: alternative frequency search on (the
display shows “AF”);
❒“AF OFF”: alternative frequency search off.

When the signal of the RDS station tuned weakens,
the following two cases may occur:
❒with “AF ON” the RDS system activates automatic
tuning of the optimum frequency of the station
chosen, with the stations enabled, therefore the
radio is automatically tuned to the station with the
strongest signal that is broadcasting the same
programme. During the journey it will thus be
possible to continue listening to the station chosen
without having to change the frequency when
changing area. Of course, the station being listened
to must be receivable in the area the car is crossing.
❒With “AF OFF” the radio will not tune the
strongest station automatically and it will have to be
found manually using the tuner buttons.
To turn the AF function on/off, keep button 1 (AF-TA)
pressed until hearing the beep. The name RDS (if
available) stays on the display and if the AF function
has been turned on the symbol “AF” is shown.
If the radio is working in the AM band, when button 1
(AF-TA) is pressed, it passes to the FM1 band on the
last station selected.TA function (traffic information)
Certain stations in the FM band (FM1, FM2 and FMT)
are enabled to also broadcast information about traffic
conditions. In this case the display shows “TP”.
To turn the TA (traffic information) function on/off,
briefly press button (AF-TA).
The listening conditions and information given on the
display may be the following:
❒TA and TP: if tuned to a station that sends traffic
information and the traffic information function is
on;
❒TP: if tuned to a station that sends traffic
information but the traffic information function is
off;
❒TA (*): the traffic information function is on but the
radio is tuned to a station that does not give traffic
information;
❒TA and TP not shown on the display: the radio is
tuned to a station that does not give traffic
information and the traffic information function is
off.
(*) If the TA function (traffic information) is on, but the radio sta-
tion chosen does not give traffic information, the device “beeps”
every 30 seconds.

REG function
(regional broadcast reception)
Certain national broadcasters, at determinate times of
the day, transmit regional programmes which differ
from region to region. This function makes it possible
to tune in only on local stations (regional). However if
a regional programme is heard and you wish to stay
tuned to it, the function must be activated.
To turn the function on/off, use button 9 (
˜) or 12
(
÷).
The display will show the current status of the
function:
❒“REG ON”: function on;
❒“REG OFF”: function off.
If the function is off and a regional programme is tuned
that works in a determinate area and the car enters a
different area, the regional station of the new area is
received.
IMPORTANT When the function is off (“REG-OFF”)
and the AF function is on (alternative frequencies) the
radio automatically tunes to the frequency of the
station selected with the strongest signal.CDC function
(CD Changer data display)
(if installed)
This function can be chosen only if a CD Changer is
connected.
In this case the display will show “CDC DISP”.
To change the function use buttons 9 (
˜) or 12
(
÷).
The display shows the setting among the two possible:
❒“TIME” (time elapsed from start of track);
❒“CD NR” (CD number).
SENS DX/LO function (tuner sensitivity
adjustment)
With this function it is possible to change the
sensitivity of automatic station searching. When low
sensitivity “SENS LO” is set only stations with
excellent reception are sought; when high sensitivity
“SENS-DX” is set all stations are sought. Therefore, if
the car is in an area with a considerable number of
stations and you want to choose only those with a
strong signal, set to low sensitivity “SENS LO”.
