CDs
The presence of dirt, scratches or distortions on the
CDs may cause skipping while it is playing and poor
sound quality. For optimal playback conditions, follow
these guidelines:
❒only use CDs with the following mark;
RADIO
223
❒clean every CD thoroughly removing any fingermarks
or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs by the
circumference and clean them from the centre
towards the edge;
❒never use chemicals (e.g. antistatics or thinners or
sprays) for cleaning as they may damage the surface of
the CDs;
❒after listening place CDs back in their boxes to avoid
them from being damaged;
❒do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high
temperatures or moisture for long periods;
❒do not stick labels on the CD surface or write on the
recorded surface with pencils or pens.
❒do not use CDs that are very scratched, flawed,
distorted, etc. Using discs like these will result in
malfunctions or damage to the player;
❒The use of original CD media is required for the best
quality audio production. Correct operation is not
guaranteed when CD-R/RW media are used that
were not correctly mastered and/or with a maximum
capacity above 650 Mb;
❒Do not use commercially available protective sheets
for CDs or discs with stabilisers, etc. 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 reproduce it.
The CD player cannot be guaranteed to play all
protected discs. The fact that the CD is protected
from being copied is often shown in very small letters
or is just legible on the CD cover itself where it may,
for example, say “COPY CONTROL”, “COPY
PROTECTED”, “THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED
ON A PC/MAC”, or it may be identified through the
use of symbols, such as, for example:
❒The CD player is capable of reading most
compression systems currently in use (e.g.: LAME,
BLADE, XING, FRAUNHOFER) but, following the
development of these systems, the reading of all
compression formats is not guaranteed.

RADIO
TRAFFIC INFORMATION function
(traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2 and FMA) can
transmit information about traffic conditions. In this case
the text “TA” appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the TA
function:
❒press the MENU button briefly and select “Traffic
info”;
❒press the ¯/ ˙buttons to turn the function on/off.
If the TA function has been activated, the icon “TA”
lights up on the display.
IMPORTANT If the TA function is activated with an
audio source other than Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3,
telephone or Mute/Pause), the radio can carry out an
automatic search and therefore it is possible, when
reactivating the Tuner (Radio) source, that the frequency
tuned into is different from the one previously set.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that transmit on the FM
band, that are enabled to transmit traffic information;
❒receive traffic information even if the CD player is on;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum preset
volume even with the radio volume off.
IMPORTANT In some countries there are radio stations
that, even with the TP function activated, do not
transmit traffic information (the icon “TP” appears on
the display).If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM band, when
TA is activated it will tune to 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 equal
to 5 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 5: traffic news volume equal
to listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during the traffic news, the level
will not be shown on the display; the new level will only
be maintained during the traffic news in progress.
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 car radio.
