REGIONAL
REGIONAL ON The tuner continuously tunes, updates and
sorts all available signals, thus updating thememory, for the area where you are
currently driving. This process causes very
short dropouts; and this is not a malfunction.
Under certain circumstances, operation of the
function can be annoying. You can
switch off the function, and the tuner then has
to check any frequency that you want it to tune
to.
Some stations offer nationwide programming
and also local programmes with modified
content.
You can listen to local content to get
information about local traffic situation and
local events.
If this function is active, the tuner will not switch
to an alternative frequency of a nationwide
station whenever a regional programme has
been tuned; even if the alternative frequency
has stronger signal. REGIONAL OFF

LEARN Your radio includes a RDS (Radio Data System)
decoder, which receives additional data
transmitted by the majority of FM transmitters.
Your radio displays the names of the stations it
is tuned to.
Nationwide stations use a network of
transmitters operating on different frequencies
to cover the whole country without
interference between transmitters.
Press button to display the tuner
menu. Use preset buttons to select and to
change the options.
Your radio offers a function which reduces drop
outs, allows for better reception and faster
tuning. The radio creates a list of available
signals sorted by program identifier (PI) and
signal strength. This allows the radio to tune to
other frequency with the same program, using
a list of alternative frequencies used by
nationwide stations. 11

12 Comfort Coding
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.
