NoteSometimes the Autostore function is not able
to find 6 stations with a strong signal. In this case,
the strongest stations stored will be duplicated in
the free preset buttons.
NoteWhen the Autostore function is activated, the
stations that were previously stored in the FMA
band are deleted.

EMERGENCY ALARM RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency alerts in RDS
mode in exceptional circumstances where
dangerous situations are threatened (earthquakes,
floods, etc.) if these are being transmitted by the
broadcaster tuned into.
This function is activated automatically and
cannot be turned off.
The word Alarm will be shown in the display
during the transmission of an emergency
announcement. The volume of the radio will
change during this announcement in the same way
as during a traffic announcement.EON FUNCTION (Enhanced Other Network)
In some countries, there are circuits that group
multiple broadcasters that transmit traffic
information together. In this case, the programme
of the station that is being listened to will be
temporarily interrupted to:
❒receive traffic alerts (only with the TA function
activated);
❒listen to regional transmissions each time these
are broadcast by one of the broadcasters on the
same circuit.
STEREOPHONIC BROADCASTERS
If the incoming signal is weak, the reproduction is
automatically switched from Stereo to Mono.

CD PLAYERINTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the variants regarding the
operation of the CD player: as far as the operation
of the radio is concerned, refer to the description
in the "Functions and Adjustments" chapter.
SELECTING THE CD PLAYER
To activate the CD player built-into the
equipment, proceed as follows:
❒load a CD with the equipment switched on: the
first track will start to play;
or
❒if a CD has already been loaded, turn on the car
radio and then briefly press the CD button to
select the “CD” operating mode: the last track
listened to will start to play.
It is advisable to use original CDs to ensure
optimum playback. If CD-R/RWs are used, we
recommend using good quality media that are
burnt at the slowest speed possible.LOADING/EJECTING A CD
To load the CD, insert it gently into the slot to
activate the motorised loading system, which will
position it correctly.
The CD can be loaded with radio off and the
ignition key turned to MAR-ON: in this case the
radio will remain off. When the radio is turned on,
the last source listened to before being switched off
will be activated.
When a CD is inserted the display will show the
symbol "CD-IN" and the text "CD Reading". They
will remain displayed for the entire time required
for the radio to read the CD tracks. When this
time has elapsed the radio automatically starts
playing the first track.
Press the
button (EJECT) with the radio on to
activate the motorised ejection of the CD. After
ejection, the last audio source listened to before
playing the CD will be heard.
If the CD is not removed from the radio, it will
automatically be reloaded about 20 seconds later
and the Tuner mode will be tuned into (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the car radio is off.
If the ejected CD is reloaded without having
removed it completely from the slot, the radio will
not switch to the CD source.

SOUND-SYSTEM

Possible error messages
If the CD loaded cannot be read (e.g. a CD ROM
has been inserted or the CD is inserted the wrong
way round or there is reading error) the display
will show the wording "CD Disc error".
The CD will then be ejected and the audio source
activated prior to the CD mode selection will be
heard.
With an external audio source activated (TA,
ALARM or Phone), the CD that cannot be read
will be not be ejected until these functions have
ended. At the end, with the CD mode activated,
the display will show the text "CD Disc error" for
a few seconds and then the CD will be ejected.
If the CD player overheats the CD playing could
be temporarily interrupted. The radio will
automatically turn to the Radio (Tuner) mode and
the display will show “CD hot” and then “CD disc
error”.DISPLAY INFORMATION
When the CD player is in operation, information
appears on the display with the following
meanings:
❒"CD Track 5": indicates the number of the CD
track;
❒"03.42": indicates the time elapsed since the
start of the track (if the relevant Menu function
is activated).
TRACK SELECTION (forward/back)
Briefly press the
button to play the previous CD
track and the
button to play the next track.
The tracks are selected cyclically: the first track is
selected after the last track and vice versa.
If the track has been played for more than 3
seconds, pressing the
button will cause the track
to be started again from the beginning.
In this case, if you want to play the previous track,
press the button twice consecutively.

CD MP3 PLAYERINTRODUCTION
This chapter only describes the variants regarding
the operation of the CD MP3 player: as far as the
operation of the radio is concerned, refer to the
description in chapters "Radio" and "CD MP3
Player".
NOTE MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology
licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson
multimedia.
MP3 MODE
In addition to playing regular audio CDs, the radio
is also able to play CD-ROMs on which audio files
have been recorded using the MP3 compression
format. The radio functions as described in the
"CD Player" chapter when an ordinary audio CD
is inserted.
To guarantee optimal playback quality it is
advisable to use good quality CDs mastered at the
lowest speed possible.
The files on an MP3 CD are structured in folders
that create lists of all the folders containing MP3
tracks (folders and subfolders are all displayed on
the same level); the folders that do not contain
MP3 tracks cannot be selected.
298
SOUND-SYSTEM

The operating conditions and specifications for
playing MP3 files are as follows:
❒the CD-ROMs used should be burnt according to
ISO 9660 standard;
❒the music files must have an ".mp3" extension:
files with a different extension cannot be played;
❒the following sampling frequencies can be
played: 44.1 kHz, stereo (96 to 320 kbit) -
22.05 kHz, mono or stereo (32 to 80 kbit);
❒tracks with a variable bit-rate can be
reproduced.
NoteThe names of tracks must not contain the
following characters: spaces, ' (apostrophes), ( and
) (open and close brackets). During the mastering
of a MP3 CD, make sure that the names of the
files do not contain these characters; if not, the
radio will not be able to play the tracks involved.SELECTING MP3 SESSIONS ON HYBRID
DISCS
If a hybrid disc is inserted (Mixed Mode,
Enhanced, CD-Extra) also containing MP3 files,
the radio automatically starts playing the audio
session. It is possible to move to the MP3 session
whilst playing by keeping the MEDIA button
pressed for more than 2 seconds.
NoteWhen the function is activated the radio may
take a few seconds to start playing. Whilst
checking the disc the display will show "CD
Reading". If no MP3 files are detected, the radio
will resume playing the audio session from the
point where it was interrupted.
299
SOUND-SYSTEM

DISPLAY INFORMATION
ID3-TAG information display
In addition to the information relating to the time
elapsed, the name of the folder and the name of
the file, the radio is also capable of display ID3-
TAG information relating to the Track Title, Artist
and Author.
The name of the MP3 folder shown on the display
corresponds to the name with which the folder was
stored on the CD, followed by an asterisk.
Example of a complete MP3 folder name: BEST
OF *.
When ID3-TAG data is chosen to be displayed
(Title, Artist, Album) that has not been recorded
for the track played, the information will be
replaced by that relating to the name of the file.SELECTING NEXT/PREVIOUS FOLDER
Press the
button to select one of the next folders
or press the
button to select a previous folder.
The display will show the number and the name of
the folder (e.g. "DIR 2 XXXXXX").
XXXXXX: name of the folder (the display will
only show the first 8 characters).
The folders are selected cyclically: the first folder
is selected after the last folder and vice versa.
If no other folder/track is selected in the next 2
seconds, the first track on the new folder will be
played.
If the last track in the folder at that moment
selected is played, the next folder will be played.

single level structure where the "sub-folders" are
taken to the level of the main folders.
