2011 SKODA OCTAVIA Bolero Car Radio Manual

If no traffic programme station can be received because, for example, radio recep-
tion is interrupted in general, “No TP” will be displayed instead of “TP”. Remember
that car parks, tunnels, high buildings or mountains can interrupt the radio signal
up to the total loss of reception.
Incoming traffic announcement
When a traffic announcement is being received, a pop-up window will open.
If you wish to interrupt the transmission of the traffic announcement, press on
the function key Cancel in the pop-up window
Traffic announcement. The traffic
programme function remains available and a following traffic announcement is
made again while the audio mode is in operation. Pressing the function key TP deactivated will switch off the traffic programme function permanently.
Ð
Traffic information memory Automatic recording of traffic reports
If the traffic information function is switched on and a traffic information station is
received, the incoming traffic reports will be recorded, as long as the ignition is
switched on. This way you are informed at any time of the current traffic situation,
even if you have your radio switched off for a lengthy period while driving.
If the vehicle is not in use (ignition off) while a traffic information station is re-
ceived and the traffic information function is switched on, incoming traffic reports
from this station are recorded for two hours.
When switching the ignition off the current traffic information station is displayed
for about five seconds, from which the next two hours of traffic reports will be re-
corded. During this display of five seconds, you can select another traffic informa-
tion station using the arrow keys on the unit, which will be recorded.
If, when the vehicle is not in use, the reception of the set traffic information sta-
tion is too poor because of external influences, it will automatically search for an-
other traffic information station.
A maximum of nine traffic announcements with a total length of up to four mi-
nutes can be recorded. The oldest traffic report will always be overwritten if the
memory is full.
TIM recording times
You also have the possibility to set two TIM recording times, to which the unit will
also record traffic reports when the vehicle is not in use. Then the radio starts ac-
cording to the set TIM recording time with the recording of all the incoming traffic
reports on the set traffic information station. For example, when you drive your vehicle to work everyday at a certain time, only
enter the approximate start time. The radio starts with the recording 90 minutes
before the set start time and ends the recording 30 minutes afterwards. In this
way, before you begin your journey, you can retrieve the last traffic reports and
tune into the current traffic situation of the distance to be driven. Note
● In case of a message of over four minutes long, the beginning is overwritten.
● If the vehicle has not been used for more than three days, no further traffic
reports are recorded, in order to stop the vehicle battery from running down. Ð

Information on how to use a CD CD to jump
Uneven road surfaces and strong vibrations may cause the CD to jump.
Formation of condensation
When it is cold and after rain showers, moisture can deposit in the CD drive (con-
densation). This can effect the CD jump or impair the play function. In such cases
wait until the moisture has dissipated.
Notes for the care of the CDs
If a CD is soiled, please never clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather
from inside to outside with a soft lint-free cloth. In case of severe layers of dirt we
recommend to clean the CD with a commercially available CD cleaner. Also in this
case do not clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather from inside to out-
side and then let it dry off. WARNING
● The CD player is a 1st class laser product. There is a definite risk of injury
from invisible laser beams if it is opened.
● The CD player contains no parts that have to be serviced or repaired.
Please contact your specialist garage if a mechanical defect occurs or the CD
player has to be repaired. CAUTION
● Never use liquids such as gasoline, paint thinner or disk cleaner, otherwise the
surface of the CD could get damaged!
● Never expose the CD to direct sun rays!
● Please never write or affix the CD! Note
Dirt or damage of a CD can lead to difficulties when “reading” the information. The
difficulty in reading the error depends on the dirt or on the severity of the me-
chanical damage. Severe scratches cause reading errors which can make the CD
jump or
“get stuck”. All CDs must be treated carefully and always be stored in a
protective case. Ð

tion of the external audio source.
If a MEDIA-IN socket is additionally installed, the button MDI is displayed instead
of the function key AUX in the
Audio menu . Please note that an audio source con-
nected to the AUX-IN socket can only be replayed, if there is currently no data car-
rier connected to the MDI input.
Use the standard jack plug 3.5
mm for the AUX-IN socket. If the external audio
source does not have this jack plug, you must use an adapter.
Adjust the play function volume of the external audio source
The play function volume of the external audio source can be changed via the vol-
ume control on the radio.
Depending on the connected audio source, the output volume on the external au-
dio source can be changed.
You can also change the input sensitivity of the external audio source, in order for
the play function volume of the external audio source to adapt to other audio
sources or to avoid distortions of the play function volume.
Adapter

ta volume, it can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music
data.
● In order to replay from a unit, which includes a complicated folder structure, it
can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music data.
● The folder structure in the connected unit must not exceed a depth of 8 levels.
One folder must not contain more than 1000°data.
● A USB extension cable or USB distributor (HUB) must not be used to connect
the unit. WARNING

no unit is connected via MDI at the same time.
● If an external audio source is connected via AUX-IN, which is equipped with an
adapter for external power supply, it can occur that the audio signal is interrupted.
This depends on the quality of the adapter which is used.
