Remember7
If the volume is modified, when reverse gear is disengaged the audio source
will stay at the set volume and, as long as the maximum volume is not
exceeded, it will be memorised for the next time reverse gear is engaged.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.
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.
Signal reflected
When driving in built-up or mountainous areas, the signal may be affected.
Interference is normal and is not a fault in the radio.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.
– Only use standard 12 cm diameter CDs.
– Some anti-copy CDs cannot be played in the unit.
– Store discs in their cases when not in use.
– Insert the CD into the unit until the mechanism automatically pulls it.
– Insert CD with the printed side facing upwards and at the correct angle into the front opening of the radio.
– Do not try to insert a CD when there is already a CD in the unit.
– The radio is fitted with a disconnection protective device and when the temperature of the CD unit is too high, the radio
switches to the last selected source.
– The playing time of files recorded with a variable bit rate may not be accurate
Tips when handling CDs– Hold the CD by the edge or by the edges and through the central hole. Figure prints and scratches reduce sound quality.

– CDs left in direct sunlight or very high temperatures may be damaged or may block the CD player.
– Normally CD-R/CD-RW discs have an operating temperature of -5 to 55 °C. Please, see the manufacturer specifications for the
CD.Important for care– Do not use fluids such as benzene or solvents to clean CDs as these may scratch the surface of the disc.
– Use soft non-fray cloths and clean in straight lines from the centre to the outer edge. If dirt is very incrusted, use commercial
CD cleaners and check manufacturer information.

Additional instructions
Additional instructions for the mass storage device (MSD):•Only external data devices or USB mass storage devices complying with
the USB 2.0 specification can be used.•Partition of an external data device shall be in accordance with the file
system, FAT16 (< 2 GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB) (FAT: File Allocation Table).•MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) players, recognised by the commercial
name “PlaysForSure” or “ReadyForVista ”, are highly sensitive to factors
including the battery charge and the volume of data in the MEDIA-IN multi-
media interface requests. It may take several minutes before an MTP player is
ready to play.•When playing large capacity hard discs with several files and a complex
data structure (several folders and subfolders, non-playable files, etc.) it may
take some time to read the audio files. The reaction time may also be influ-
enced by the connected device.•The structure of the folders in the external data device shall not exceed a
depth of eight folder levels. A folder should not contain more than 1,000
entries.
•The use of USB cable extensions and USB hubs may cause operating
errors.•If an external data device is divided into various partitions, only the first
partition with compatible audio files will be played.•Memory card adapters can not be used, their use may cause operating
errors.•If an MP3 player is updated via the manufacturer (firmware update) this
may lead to operating errors.•An external data device should be connected first or select the corre-
sponding data mode.•Compatible formats include: MP3, WMA, OGG-Vorbis, AAC.•Please refer to the respective manufacturer's manual for instructions on
the operation of the external data medium.
Compatible file formats
The use of file formats which can be played on this equipment is the same as
for compressed audio files in MP3 format and will not be explained further in
this manual.•The radio and navigation equipment can be used to play and control
audio files in MP3, WMA, OGG Vorbis and AAC format from an external data
device.•Playlists in PLS, B4S, ASX and WPL format are compatible.•W M A ( W i n d o w s M e d i a A u d i o ) a u d i o f il e s ca n o n l y b e p la y e d i f t h e y a r e n o t

system.•Generally, files with anti-copy protection can not be played (e.g. M4P).•Files in 3GP format and “WMA lossless” file types can not be played.
Check there are no MP3 files stored in the playlist. A playlist only defines a
certain order of play. If a playlist is not played, check whether the “route data”
is correct, that is, whether the MP3 files are stored in the data device to which
the playlist refers.
