Remember
6RememberImportant information concerning the handling of your radio equipmentUse when driving
Travelling on today's roads requires the driver's full attention at all times.
Thanks to their many sophisticated features, modern radio equipments
provide a great variety of entertainment forms and a range of information on
traffic and road conditions, etc.
However, the radio, with all its possibil ities, should only be used if traffic
conditions really allow it.
For example, changing CDs or reading song titles while driving may easily
lead to dangerous situations.
The radio volume should be set so that acoustic signals from outside can also
be heard at all times.
WARNING
Please keep your attention on driving as a priority!Soft-Clipping FunctionThe radio has an automatic volume reduction system to avoid distortion and
possible damage to the radio and speakers. The majority of the time, this adjustme
nt is made when the volume indicator
is not visible (normal screen for the selected source) and the change is not
noticeable.
Remember that if this protection is activated when the temporary volume
indicator is visible, it will appear to be a reduction of the volume selected by
the user.
Protection against overloadingIn the event of high temperatures and/or large volumes, the protection circuit
may react.
During this phase, to discharge the amplifiers, the final stages of the
speakers are disconnected.Important notes for radio receptionAlternative Frequency selection (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 frequency searches for the selected
radio stations are done.
Your radio automatically (and quietly) chooses the strongest signal for the
selected station.

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.
WARNING
Never use fluids such as petrol, paint thinner or record cleaner, as these
can damage the CD surface!
