❒ The CD player is capable of reading
most compression systems currently
in use (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING,
FRAUNHOFER) but, following the de-
velopment of these systems, the read-
ing of all compression formats is not
guaranteed. ❒ if a copy-protected CD is used, it may
take a few seconds before the system
starts to play it. The CD player cannot
be guaranteed to play all protected
discs. The fact that the CD is protect-
ed from being copied is often shown in
very small letters or is difficult to read
on the actual CD cover where it may
be, for example, “COPY CONTROL”,
“COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD CAN-
NOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC”, or
it may be identified through the use of
symbols, such as, for example:TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different
modes in the RDS system:
❒“AF Switching: On” - search for alter-
native frequencies activated (the word-
ing “AF” appears on the display);
❒“AF Switching: OFF” - search for alter-
native frequencies not activated.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate
the function:
❒press the button MENU and select “AF
Switching: On”;
❒press the buttons ¯/ ˙to activate/
deactivate the function.
By turning the function on the car radio
will automatically tune into the station
with the strongest signal that is transmit-
ting the same programme. While driving,
you can continue to listen to the same sta-
tion without having to change the fre-
quency when you change zones.
Obviously, it must be possible to receive
the station that you are listening to, in the
area you are driving through.If the AF function was activated, the icon
“AF” will appear in the display.
If the AF function has been activated and
the radio can not receive the tuned sta-
tion, the radio activates the automatic
search during which the wording “FM
Search” will be shown on the display (for
technologically advanced radios only).
With AF function deactivated, the re-
maining RDS functions such as the radio
station display, continue being activated.
The AF function can only be activated on
FM bands.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION
function (traffic news)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2
and FMA) can transmit information about
traffic conditions. In this case the wording
“TA” appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate
the TA function:
❒press the button MENU briefly and se-
lect “Traffic info”;
❒press the buttons ¯/ ˙to activate/ de-
activate the function.
If the TA function was activated, the icon
“TA” will appear on the display.IMPORTANT If the TA function is acti-
vated with an audio source other than
Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3, CD CHANG-
ER, telephone or Mute/Pause), the radio
can carry out an automatic search and
therefore it is possible, when reactivating
the Tuner (Radio) source, that the fre-
quency tuned into is different from the
one set previously.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that trans-
mit on the FM band, that are enabled to
transmit traffic information;
❒receive traffic information even if the
CD/CD CHANGER player is on;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum
preset volume even with the radio vol-
ume off.
IMPORTANT In some countries there are
radio stations that, even with the TP func-
tion activated, do not transmit traffic in-
formation (the icon “TP” appears on the
display).
If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM
band, when TA is activated it will tune to
the last selected station in the FM1 band.
