❍do not stick labels on the surface of the
CD and do not write on the recorded sur-
face using pens or pencils;
❍do not use CDs that are clearly
scratched, flawed, distorted, etc. Using
discs like this will result in malfunctions
or damage to the player;
❍to achieve the best quality audio repro-
duction we recommend the use of orig-
inal CD media. If CD-R/RWs that have
not been correctly recorded and/or with
a maximum capacity above 650 MB are
used, correct operation is not guaran-
teed;
❍do not use the protective sleeves sold
for CDs or discs with stabilizers, etc. be-
cause they may get stuck in the internal
mechanism and damage the disc;
❍if copy-protected CDs are used, it may
take a few seconds before the system
starts playing them. The CD player is not
guaranteed to play all copy-protected
discs. The fact that the CD is protected
from being copied is often shown in very
small letters on the CD cover itself where
it may, for example, say “COPY CON-
TROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD
CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC”, or
it may be identified through the use of
symbols, such as, for example:
❍The CD player is capable of reading most
compression systems currently in use
(e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING, FRAUN-
HOFER) but, following the development
of these systems, the reading of all com-
pression formats is not guaranteed.
CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs
could cause problems and poor sound qual-
ity during playback. Follow these tips for op-
timum playback conditions:
❍only use CDs with the following brand;
❍clean every CD to remove any finger-
prints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs
by the circumference and clean them
from the middle outwards;
❍never use chemicals (e.g. anti-static
products or thinners or sprays) for clean-
ing as they could damage the surface of
the CDs;
❍after listening, place CDs back in their
cases to avoid damaging them;
❍do not expose CDs to direct sunlight,
high temperatures or damp for long pe-
riods;
SOUND SYSTEM

EQ function
(activation/deactivation of
equalizer)
(excluding versions with Bose
HI-FI system)
The built-in equalizer can be activated/
deactivated. When the equalizer function
is off, the audio settings can only be
changed by adjusting the bass and treble
settings, whereas when the function is on,
the acoustic curves can be adjusted. To de-
activate the equalizer, select the “EQ OFF”
function using buttons
or.To activate the equalizer, select one of the
following adjustments using buttons
or
:
❍“FM/AM/CD...EQ User” (adjustment
of the 7 equalizer bands that can be
changed by the user);
❍“Classic” (predefined equalizer setting
for optimum playback of classical mu-
sic);
❍“Rock” (predefined equalizer setting for
optimum playback of rock and pop mu-
sic);
❍“Jazz” (predefined equalizer setting for
optimum playback of jazz music).
When one of the equalizer adjustments is
activated the letters “EQ” light up.
LOUDNESS FUNCTION
(excluding versions with Bose
HI-FI system)
The Loudness function improves the volume
of the sound whilst listening at low volumes,
increasing the bass and treble.
To activate/deactivate the function, select
the Loudness setting on the AUDIO menu us-
ing the
orbuttons. The function sta-
tus (on or off) is shown on the display for
a few seconds by the words Loudness On or
Loudness Off.
SOUND SYSTEM
260

With the function activated, the radio auto-
matically tunes into the station with the
strongest signal broadcasting the same pro-
gram. In this way when driving you can con-
tinue listening to the same station without
having to change the frequency when you
change areas.
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 is activated, “AF” will light
up in the display.
If the AF function has been activated and
the radio is no longer capable of receiving
the station tuned into, the radio will activate
the automatic search during which the dis-
play will show “FM Search” (only for the
high end radio).With the AF function deactivated, the re-
maining RDS functions such as the display
of the name of the radio station continue to
remain activated.
The AF function can only be activated on FM
bands.AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency
search)
The radio can operate in two different modes
in the RDS system:
❍“AF Switching On”: search for alterna-
tive frequencies activated (the letters
“AF” appear on the display);
❍“AF Switching Off”: search for alterna-
tive frequencies not activated.
Proceed as follows to switch the function
on/off:
❍press the MENU button and select “AF
Switching On”;
❍press the /buttons to switch the
function on/off.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION
function (traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2
and FMA) can transmit information about
traffic conditions. In this case the letters “TA”
will appear on the display.
Proceed as follows to switch the TA function
on/off:
❍briefly press the MENU button and se-
lect “Traffic Info”;
❍press buttons /to switch the
function on/off.
If the TA function is activated, “TA” will light
up on the display.
IMPORTANT If the TA function is activated
with an audio source other than Tuner (Ra-
dio) (CD, MP3, Telephone or Mute/Pause),
the radio can carry out an automatic search
and therefore it is possible, when reactivat-
ing the Tuner (Radio) source, that the fre-
quency tuned into will be 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, which are enabled
to transmit traffic information;
❍receive traffic information even if the CD
player is on;
❍receive traffic information at a minimum
preset volume even with the radio vol-
ume off.
IMPORTANT In some countries there are ra-
dio stations that do not broadcast traffic in-
formation even with the TP function acti-
vated (“TP” in the display).
If the radio is working on the AM band,
when the TA function is activated it will
switch to the last station tuned into on the
FM1 band. The volume at which the traffic news is trans-
mitted depends on the listening volume:
❍listening volume below 5: traffic news
volume 5 (fixed value);
❍listening volume above 5: traffic news
volume equal to listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during a traffic up-
date, the level will not be shown on the dis-
play; the new level will only be maintained
during the update.
The display will show the words TRAFFIC IN-
FORMATION whilst a traffic update is being
received.
The TA function can be interrupted by press-
ing any button on the car radio.
