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 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, 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.

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".

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 stored using the MP3 compression format. The
radio operates 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 by folder,
creating 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.
The operating conditions and specifications for
playing MP3 files are as follows:
❒the CD-ROMs used should be burnt according to
the 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.
Note
The names of tracks must not contain the following
characters: spaces, ' (apostrophes), ( and ) (open and
close brackets). During the burning of a MP3 CD,
make sure that the names of the files do not contain
these characters; if they do, the radio will not be able
to play the tracks involved.
