Alternative frequencies (AF) This function is only available on FM.
Some RDS programmes can be broadcast by various stations with different
frequencies.
If function is ON, available alternative frecuency searches for the selected
radio stations are done.
Your radio automatically (and quietly) chooses the strongest signal for the
selected station.
If you are driving through an area with bad coverage, each automatic re-tune
will result in short breaks or slight changes in volume in the audio source.Using your CD player– Do not insert credit cards, coins or other objects inside the CD unit.
– Do not insert irregular-shaped discs, discs with anti-scratch protection or discs with labels attached inside the unit.
– Do not insert DVDs, Dual-Disc, DVD+, Flip Disc as these contain large quantities of information and can not be read.

Important information concerning the CD reader
30Important information concerning the CD readerPrecautionary measures for the use of laser equipmentLaser devices are classified by DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837 into safety
classes 1 to 4.
The SEAT CD player corresponds to safety class 1.
The lasers used in class 1 units are low energy lasers, or are shielded in such
a manner that they present no danger when used correctly.
Do not remove the cover of the unit. It does not have any parts which can be
serviced by the user.Tips for CD modeTo ensure perfect, high-quality CD reproduction, only clean, undamaged CDs
should be used.
Please do not stick any labels onto the CDs.
Compact discs not being used should always be stored in the CD rack (you
can find one, for example, in the SEAT Genuine accessories Catalogue) or in
their original case.
Never expose CDs to direct sunlight!
Caution
Use only standard 12 cm CDs. Special “shape CDs” or 8 cm “singles” cannot
be played because they may damage the CD player.
Tips on cleaning CDsUse a soft, lint–free cloth to clean CDs. Clean discs in a straight line from the
centre outwards. If they are very dirty use a conventional CD cleaner or
isopropyl alcohol.
