RIGHT HAND DRIVE VERSIONS

CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs may cause skipping
during playback and poor sound quality. Follow these tips for
optimum playback conditions:
❒only use CDs with the following mark:❒clean every CD thoroughly removing any fingerprints or dust
using a soft cloth. Hold CDs by the circumference and clean
them from the centre towards the edge;
❒never use chemical products (e.g. antistatic or thinner spray
cans) for cleaning as they could damage the surface of the CDs;
❒after listening to them place CDs back in their cases to avoid
them being damaged;
❒do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or
moisture for long periods;
❒do not stick labels on the surface of the CD and do not write on
the recorded surface using pens or pencils;
❒Never use CDs that are very scratched, cracked, distorted, etc.
Their use could cause damage to the player or make it
malfunction;❒to achieve the best quality audio reproduction we recommend
the use of original CD media. Correct operation is not
guaranteed when CD-R/RW media are used that were not
correctly burnt and/or with a maximum capacity above 650
Mb;
❒do not use commercially available protective sheets for CDs or
discs with stabilisers as they could get stuck in the internal
mechanism and damage the disc;
❒if a copy-protected CD is used, it may take a few seconds before
the system starts to play it. The CD player is not guaranteed to
play all copy-protected discs. The presence of copy protection is
often indicated in small letters or may be difficult to read on the
cover of the CD; it may say something like, for example, “COPY
CONTROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD CANNOT BE
PLAYED ON A PC/MAC” or may be identified through the use
of symbols, such as, for example:
❒The CD player is able to read most of the compression systems
currently on the market (e.g.:LAME, BLADE, XING,
FRAUNHOFER) but as these systems are continually evolving,
playback of all compression formats is not guaranteed.

SOUND-SYSTEM

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 of
the AUDIO menu using the
or
buttons.
The condition of the function (on or off) is shown on the display for
a few seconds by the wording “Loudness On” or “Loudness Off”.
PRESET/USER/CLASSIC/ROCK/JAZZ
FUNCTIONS(equaliser activation/deactivation)
(excluding versions with Bose HI-FI system)
The built-in equaliser can be activated/deactivated. When the
equaliser 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 deactivate the equaliser, select the “EQ Preset” function using the
buttons
or
.To activate the equaliser, use the
or
buttons to select one of
the adjustments:
❒“FM/AM/CD...EQ User” (adjustment of 7 equaliser bands that
can be changed by the user);
❒“Classic” (equaliser preset for optimal classical music sound);
❒“Rock” (equaliser preset for optimal rock and pop music sound);
❒“Jazz” (equaliser preset for optimal jazz music sound).
When one of the equaliser settings is activated the letters “EQ”
light up.
271SOUND-SYSTEM

AF SWITCHING function(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different modes using RDS:
❒“AF Switching On”: search for alternative frequencies active (the
letters “AF” appear on the display);
❒“AF Switching Off”: search for alternative frequencies not active.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the function:
❒press the MENU button and select “AF Switching On”;
❒press the
/
buttons to activate/deactivate the function.
When the function is activated, the radio automatically tunes into
the station with the strongest signal broadcasting the same
programme. While driving, the same station can be continuously
listened to without having to change the frequency 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 has been activated, “AF” will light up in the
display.
If the AF function has been activated and the radio is not able to
receive the current station, the radio activates the automatic search,
during which “FM Search” appears on the display (only for top-of-
the-range radios).
With the AF function deactivated, the remaining RDS functions,
such as the display of the station name, still remain active.
The AF function can only be activated on FM bands.
273SOUND-SYSTEM

TRAFFIC INFORMATION function(traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2 and FMA) can
broadcast information about traffic conditions. In this case the
letters “TA” appear on the display.
Proceed as follows to switch the TA function on/off:
❒press the MENU button briefly and select “Traffic info”;
❒press the
/
buttons to activate/deactivate the function.
If the TA function has been activated, the “TA” icon lights up on the
display.
NoteIf the TA function is activated with an audio source other
than Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3, 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 frequency
tuned into is different from the one previously set.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that broadcast in FM and are
enabled to broadcast traffic information;
❒receive traffic information even when the CD player is in
operation;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum preset volume even with
the radio volume off.NoteIn some countries there are radio stations that, even with the
TP function activated, do not transmit traffic information (the “TP”
icon appears on the display).
If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM band, when TA is
activated it will tune into the last selected station in the FM1 band.
The volume at which the traffic news is transmitted 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 traffic news, the level will not be
shown on the display; the new level will only be maintained during
the news.
While traffic information is being received, “TRAFFIC
INFORMATION” will appear on the display.
The TA function can be interrupted by pressing any button on the
radio.

FMA reception band is reserved for broadcasters stored
automatically using the AutoSTore function.

preset stations:
❒18 in the FM band (6 in FM1, 6 in FM2, 6 in FMT or “FMA” (on
