INTRODUCTION

The CD player is capable of readingmost compression systems currently inuse (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING,FRAUNHOFER) but, following the de-velopment of these systems, the read-ing of all compression formats is notguaranteed.

do not stick labels on the surface of theCD and do not write on the recordedsurface using pens or pencils;

do not use CDs that are veryscratched, flawed, distorted, etc. Us-ing discs like this will result in malfunc-tions or damage to the player;

the use of original CD supports is re-quired for the best quality audio pro-duction. If CD-R/RWs that have notbeen correctly mastered and/or witha maximum capacity above 650 MB areused, correct operation is not guaran-teed;

do not use the protective sleeves soldfor CDs or discs with stabilizers, etc.because they could get stuck in the in-ternal mechanism and damage the disc;

if copy protected CDs are used, it maytake a few seconds before the systemstarts playing them. The CD player can-not be guaranteed to play all protect-ed discs. The fact that the CD is pro-tected from being copied is oftenshown in very small letters or is difficultto read on the actual CD cover whereit may be, for example, COPY CON-TROL, COPY PROTECTED, THISCD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON APC/MAC, or it may be identifiedthrough the use of symbols, such as, forexample:

CDs

Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDscould cause problems when playing andpoor sound quality. Follow this advice foroptimum conditions:

only use CDs with the following brand:

clean every CD thoroughly removingany fingermarks or dust using a softcloth. Hold CDs by the outside and cleanthem from the middle outwards;

never use chemical products (e.g. anti-statics or thinners or sprays) for clean-ing as they could damage the surface ofthe CDs;

after listening to them place CDs back intheir casings to avoid damage to them;

do not expose CDs to direct sunlight,high temperatures or dampness for longperiods;

ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION

The radio is equipped with an anti-theftprotection system based on the exchangeof information between the radio and theelectronic control unit (Body Computer)on the vehicle.

This system guarantees maximum securi-ty and avoids the secret code having to beentered every time after the radio pow-er supply is disconnected.

If the outcome of the check is positive, theradio will start to work, whilst if the codescompared are not the same or if the elec-tronic control unit (Body Computer) is re-placed, the equipment will notify the userof the need to enter the password fol-lowing the procedure in the paragraph be-low.

Entering the password

When the radio is switched on, if the pass-word is requested, the display will showRadio code for about 2 seconds fol-lowed by four dashes - - - -.

The password is made up of four numbersfrom 1 to 6, each corresponding to one ofthe dashes.

To enter the first number, press the but-ton corresponding to the preset stations(from 1 to 6). Enter the other code num-bers in the same way.

If the four digits are not entered within 20seconds, the display will show Enter code- - - -. This event is not considered an in-correct entering of the code.

After entering the fourth digit (within 20seconds), the car radio will start to work.

If an incorrect code is entered, the radiowill emit a sound and the display will showRadio blocked/wait to notify the user ofthe need to enter the correct code.

Each time the user enters an incorrectcode, the waiting time will gradually in-crease (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min,30 min,1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) up to amaximum of 24 hours. The waiting timewill be shown on the display by Radioblocked/wait. After the message disap-pears, the code entering procedure maybe started again.
