SOUND-SYSTEM
❒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 cannot be guaranteed
to play all protected discs. The presence of copy protection is
often indicated in small or difficult to read letters on the cover of
the CD; 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
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.REGIONAL MODE function
(regional transmission reception)
Some national broadcasters will transmit regional programmes at
certain times of the day (that vary from region to region).
This function makes it possible to tune into local (regional)
broadcasters automatically (see “EON function” paragraph).
If you want the radio to automatically tune into the regional
stations being broadcast on the selected network, the function must
be activated.
To activate/deactivate the function use the
orbuttons.
The current status of the function appears on the display:
❒“Regional On”: function activated;
❒“Regional Off”: function deactivated.
If the function is deactivated and you have tuned into a regional
station working in a given area and you enter a different area,
then the regional station received in the new area will be
broadcast.
NoteIf the AF and REG functions are on at the same time, once a
border between two regions is crossed, the radio may not switch
correctly to a valid alternative frequency.

❒“00 MIN”: the radio switches off automatically in connection
with the ignition key; the radio switches off automatically as
soon as the key is turned to STOP position;
❒“20 MIN”: the radio switches off independently of the ignition
key; the radio remains switched on for a maximum period of 20
minutes after the key has been turned to STOP position.
SYSTEM RESET function
This function is used to restore all settings to the factory values.
The options are:
❒NO: no restore intervention;

CD PLAYER
INTRODUCTION
This section 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:
❒insert a CD with the equipment switched on: the first track will
start to play;
or
❒if a CD has already been loaded, switch on the 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
mastered 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: in this case the radio will remain off. When the radio is
turned on, the last source listened to prior to switching 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 will automatically start to play the first
track.
Press the
button 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
activated (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the 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.
Possible error messages
If the CD loaded cannot be read (e.g. a CD ROM has been
inserted or the CD is inserted upside down or there is reading
error) the display will show the text “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 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.

DISPLAY INFORMATION
When the CD player is working, the display will show the
following information:
❒“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 thebutton 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.
TRACK FAST FORWARD/REWIND
The fast forward/rewind will stop once the button is released.
PAUSE FUNCTION
To pause the CD player, press thebutton. The text “CD Pause”
appears on the display.
To resume listening to the track, press the
