Always make sure that you are still able tohear any warning signals coming from out-side the vehicle, such as police or fire engi-ne sirens, so that you can react accordin-gly.

Consequently, you should always select amoderate volume for playing your car audiosystem while you are driving.

Installation

If you would like to install your new car ste-reo yourself or add other audio componentsto existing ones, then please read the enclo-sed instructions on installation and connec-tion carefully.

In order to ensure that the unit operates pro-perly the positive power supply line must beconnected via the ignition and the perma-nent +12 V lead.

Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs! Thiswill result in damage to the unit output sta-ges.

Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

“SEARCH” will disappear from the displaywhen the alternative frequency has beenfound or after the frequency band has runthrough completely.If the reception quality of the programmeselected deteriorates beyond a certain point,tune into another station.

REG - regional programme

Certain radio programmes are split up attimes into regional programmes offering lo-cal information. The 1st programme broad-cast by NDR, for example, offers pro-grammes with different contents in the nor-thern German states of Schleswig-Holstein,Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain timesof the day.If you are listening to a particular regionalprogramme and wish to continue doing so,select “REG ON” in the DSC mode.If you leave the service area of the regionalprogramme you are tuned into, or if youwould like to take full advantage of RDSservice, switch to “REG OFF” in the DSCmode.The display will briefly indicate whether thisfunction is switched on or off with “REG ON”or “OFF” when you switch on the “AF”function.

Selecting the operatingmode

Use the SRC (source) button to select bet-ween radio and CD.The CD mode is not available unless a CDhas been inserted.Otherwise, “No CD” will appear in the dis-play.Press SRC to switch between the operatingmodes.

The Radio Data System enhances your en-joyment when you listen to FM radio stati-ons.More and more radio stations now broad-cast RDS information along with their regu-lar programming.As soon as radio programmes are identified,the station name including a regional iden-tifier, if applicable, will appear in the display,for example, NDR1 NDS (regional program-me in Lower Saxony, Germany). When RDSis activated, the preset buttons become pro-gramme buttons. You now know exactlywhich programme you have tuned into, ma-king it easy to find the desired station quickly.But RDS also offers you further advantages:

AF - Alternative frequency

The “AF” function makes sure that the radioalways tunes into the strongest frequencyfor the currently selected programme auto-matically.Press the AF.TA button for approximately 2seconds, until you hear a beep and “AF”appears in display field 3.While searching for the strongest receptionsignal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.If “SEARCH” appears in the display whenthe radio is switched on or one of the storedfrequencies recalled, the unit is already au-tomatically searching for an alternative fre-quency.


32

Selecting a waveband

The following wavebands are available:UKW (FM) 87,5 - 108 MHz,MW 531 - 1602 kHz andLW 153 - 279 kHzPress the “BA/TS” button to select the desi-red waveband.

pressing BA/TS.

• Tune into a station with the rockerswitch (either automatically or manual-ly).

Important: AF and PTY must be switchedoff (i.e. the symbols do not light up in thedisplay).If necessary, deactivate these function bypressing “AF.TA” or “PTY”.

Manual tuning:• Press << >>; the frequency will change

in short intervals in the correspondingdirection.

If you hold << >> pressed to the left or theright on the rocker switch, the frequencyscan will speed up.

Changing the scan time

The scan time per radio station can be setto between 5 and 20 seconds.For more detailed information, refer to thesection on “DSC programming - SCANTI-ME”.

Selecting the automatic tuningsensitivity

You can alter the automatic tuning sensiti-vity.If “lo” is displayed, the radio will only pick upstrong, local stations (low sensitivity).If “lo” does not light up, the radio will alsopick up weaker, more distant stations.To switch the automatic tuning sensitivityand program the sensitivity level, refer to thesection on “DSC programming “.


34

Switching between Stereo/Mono(FM)

You can switch between Stereo/Mono in the“DSC” menu. This can be an advantagewhen the station reception is poor. The caraudio system will select stereo automatical-ly when it is switched on.When reception quality deteriorates, thesystem will switch to mono playback.Refer to the section on Stereo/Mono in“DSC” programming for information on howto switch from stereo to mono.The playback mode selected is indicated inthe display.

PTY - Programme Type

Adjusting the volume for trafficannouncements and the warningbeep

Although this volume was preset at the fac-tory, you can use the DSC function to alterthe setting (see “DSC programming - TAVOL”).

The abbreviation “EON” stands for Enhan-ced Other Networks, which means that in-formation is exchanged within a radio net-work.Many FM radio stations provide their ser-vice area with traffic messages at regularintervals.Along with their programmes, all traffic pro-gramme stations transmit a special carriersignal, which is decoded by your car radio.If this signal is identified, “TP” will appear inthe display (Traffic Programme).In addition to these, there are also stationswhich do not actually transmit traffic infor-mation themselves, but by using RDS-EONit is possible for them to forward the trafficmessages broadcast by another traffic pro-gramme station in the same radio network.If you want to have the priority for trafficannouncements activated while listening toone of these stations (e.g. NDR3), “TA” mustappear on the display panel.If a traffic announcement is broadcast, theradio will automatically switch to the linkedtraffic programme station (in this case,NDR2) for the duration of the message andreturn to the original programme (NDR3)afterwards.
