SELECTING A STATION


The external environment (hill, building, tunnel, underground car park...) may interfere with the reception, including in RDS station tracking mode. This
phenomenon is a normal result of the way in which radio waves are transmitted and does not in any way indicate a fault with the audio system.


PRESETTING A STATION


Press one of the buttons on the
numerical keypad for 2 seconds to
preset the current station.
An audible signal confi rms that the
station has been preset.
The quality of reception is represented
by the number of active waves in this
symbol.

ACTIVATE/DEACTIVATE RDS


RDS, if activated, allows you to continue listening to the same
station by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However,
in certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be
assured throughout the entire country as radio stations do not
cover 100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of
the station during a journey.

CD, MP3 CD, USB PLAYER


The audio equipment will only play audio fi les with ".m4a, .wma,
.m4b, .aac, .fl ac, .ogg and .mp3" fi le extensions and with a bit rate of
between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps.
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other type of fi le (.mp4, .m3u...) can be played.
WMA fi les must be of the standard wma 9 type.
The sampling rates supported are 11, 22, 44 and 48 KHz.

It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters, without using of
special characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing and displaying
problems.

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording
it is preferable to select the ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or Joliet standard.
If the disc is recorded in another format it may not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used
for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum)
for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is
recommended.

devices via the USB port (suitable cable not supplied).
Control of the peripheral device is with the audio
system controls.
Other peripherals, not recognised on connection, must
be connected to the auxiliary socket using a Jack cable

CD, MP3 CD, USB PLAYER


Insert the CD in the player, insert the USB memory stick
in the USB player or connect the USB peripheral to the
USB port using a suitable cable (not supplied).
The system builds playlists (in temporary memory), an
operation which can take from a few seconds to several
minutes at the fi rst connection.
Reduce the number of non-music fi les and the number
of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The playlists are updated every time the ignition is
switched off or connection of a USB memory stick.
However, the system memorises these lists and if they
are not modifi ed, the loading time will be shorter.
Play starts automatically after a period which depends
on the capacity of the USB memory stick.
