ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the exchange
of information between the radio and the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle.
This system guarantees maximum securi-
ty and avoids the secret code having to be
entered every time after the radio power
supply is disconnected.
If the outcome of the check is positive, the
radio will start to work, whilst if the codes
compared are not the same or if the elec-
tronic control unit (Body Computer) is re-
placed, the equipment will notify the user of
the need to enter the password following
the procedure in the paragraph below.Entering the password
When the radio is switched on, if the pass-
word is requested, the display will show
“Radio code” for about 2 seconds followed
by four dashes “- - - -”.
The password is made up of four numbers
from 1 to 6, each corresponding to one
of the dashes.
To enter the first number, press the button
corresponding to the preset stations (from
1 to 6). Enter the other code numbers in
the same way.
If the four digits are not entered within
20 seconds, the display will show “Enter
code - - - -”. This event is not considered
an incorrect entering of the code.
After entering the fourth digit (within
20 seconds), the car radio will start to work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio
will emit a sound and the display will show
“Radio blocked/wait” to notify the user
of the need to enter the correct code.
Each time the user enters an incorrect
code, the waiting time will gradually in-
crease (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min,
30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) up to
a maximum of 24 hours. The waiting time
will be shown on the display by “Radio
blocked/wait”. After the message disap-
pears, the code entering procedure may
be started again.Code card
This document certifies ownership of the
car radio. The Code Card contains the
model of the radio, the serial number and
the password.
IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card some-
where safe so that the authorities can be
supplied with the relevant information
if the radio is stolen.

cerned, refer to the description in the
“Functions and Adjustments” chapter.CD PLAYER SELECTION
To activate the CD player built-into the

sure optimum playing. If CD-R/RWs are
used, we recommend using good quality
media that are burned at the slowest
speed possible.CD LOADING/EJECTION
To load the CD, insert it gently into the
slot to activate the motorized loading sys-
tem, which will position it correctly.
The CD can be loaded with the radio

last source listened to prior to switching off
will be activated.
When a CD is loaded the display will show
“CD-IN” and the words “CD Reading”.
They will remain displayed for the entire
time required for the radio to read the
CD tracks. When this time has elapsed the
radio will automatically start playing the

ROM has been inserted or the CD is in-
serted the wrong way round or there is
reading error) the display will show the
words “CD Disc error”.
The CD will then be ejected and the au-
dio source activated prior to the CD

INTRODUCTION
This chapter only describes the variants
regarding the operation of the CD MP3
player: as far as the operation of the radio
is concerned, refer to the description in
chapters “4” and “6”.
NOTE MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding
technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS
and Thomson multimedia.MP3 MODE
In addition to playing normal audio CDs, the
radio is also capable of playing CD-ROMs
on which MP3 format compressed audio
files are recorded. The radio works ac-
cording to the modes described in chapter
“5” when an ordinary audio CD is inserted.
The use of good quality media burnt at the
slowest possible speeds is recommended
for optimum quality.
The files on the MP3 CD are in folders, with
sequential lists of all the folders containing
MP3 tracks (folders and sub-folders are all
on the same level) and folders that do not
contain MP3 tracks cannot be selected.The operating conditions and specifica-
tions for playing MP3 files are as follows:
❒the CD-ROMs used must be burned in
compliance with the Specification
ISO9660;
❒the music files must have an “.mp3” ex-
tension: files with a different extension
cannot be played;
❒the following sampling frequencies
can be played: 44.1 kHz, stereo (96 to
320 kbit/s) – 22.05 kHz, mono or
stereo (32 to 80 kbit/s);
❒tracks with variable bit-rates can be
played.
IMPORTANT The names of tracks should
not contain the following characters:
spaces, ' (apostrophes), ( and ) (open and
close brackets). When a CD MP3 is be-
ing burned, make sure that the file names
do not contain these characters; other-
wise, the car radio will not be able to play
those tracks.

SELECTING MP3 SESSIONS
WITH HYBRID DISCS
If a hybrid disc is inserted (Mixed Mode,
Enhanced, CD-Extra) also containing MP3
files, the radio automatically starts play-
ing the audio session. It is possible to move
to the MP3 session whilst playing by keep-
ing the MEDIA button pressed for more
than 2 seconds.
IMPORTANT When the function is acti-
vated the radio may take a few seconds to
start playing. Whilst checking the disc the
display will show “CD Reading”. If no MP3
files are detected, the radio will resume
playing the audio session from the point
where it was interrupted.
DISPLAY INFORMATION
Id3-tag information display
In addition to the information relating to
the time elapsed, the name of the folder
and the name of the file, the radio is also
capable of display ID3-TAG information re-
lating to the Title track, Artist and Author.The name of the MP3 folder shown on the
display corresponds to the name with
which the folder was stored on the CD,
followed by an asterisk.
Example of a complete MP3 folder name:
BEST OF *.
If you wish to display one of the ID3-TAG
pieces of information (Title, Artist, Album)
and this information has not been record-
ed for the track played, the information will
be replaced by information relating to the
name of the file.
SELECTION OF NEXT/
PREVIOUS FOLDER
Press the ▲button to select the next fold-
er or the ▼button to select the previ-
ous folder. The display will show the
number and the name of the folder
(e.g. “DIR 2 XXXXXX”).
XXXXXX: name of the folder (the display
will only show the first 8 characters).
The folders are selected cyclically: the first
folder is selected after the last folder and
vice versa. If no other folder/track is selected during
the next 2 seconds, the first track contained
in the new folder will be played.
If the last track on the folder currently se-
lected is being played, the next folder will
be played.
STRUCTURE OF THE FOLDERS
The radio with MP3 player:
❒only recognizes the folders that effectively
contain MP3 format files
❒if the MP3 files on a CD-ROM are
structured in “sub-folders”, their struc-
ture is compressed to a single level
structure where the “sub-folders” are
taken to the level of the main folders.
