Remember
6RememberImportant information concerning the handling of your radio equipmentUse when driving
Travelling on today's roads requires the dri ver's full attention at all times.
Thanks to their many sophisticated features, modern radio equipments
provide a great variety of entertainment forms and a range of information on
traffic and road conditions, etc.
However, the radio, with all its possibilities, should only be used if traffic
conditions really allow it.
For example, changing CDs or reading song titles while driving may easily
lead to dangerous situations.
The radio volume should be set so that acoustic signals from outside can also
be heard at all times.
WARNING
Please keep your attention on driving as a priority!Soft-Clipping FunctionThe radio has an automatic volu me reduction system to avoid distortion and
possible damage to the radio and speakers. The majority of the time, this adjustment is made when the volume indicator
is not visible (normal screen for the selected source) and the change is not
noticeable.
Remember that if this protection is activated when the temporary volume
indicator is visible, it will appear to be a reduction of the volume selected by
the user.
Protection against overloadingIn the event of
high temperatures and/or large volumes, the protection circuit
may react.
During this phase, to discharge the amplifiers, the final stages of the
speakers are disconnected.Important notes for radio receptionAlternative Frequency selection (AF)
This function is only available on FM.
Some RDS programmes can be broadcast by various stations with different
frequencies.
If function is ON, available alternative frequency searches for the selected
radio stations are done.
Your radio automatically (and quietly) chooses the strongest signal for the
selected station.

Remember7
If you are driving through an area with bad coverage, each automatic re-tune
will result in short breaks or slight changes in volume in the audio source.
Signal reflected
When driving in built-up or mountainous areas, the signal may be affected.
Interference is normal and is not a fault in the radio.Using your CD player– Do not insert credit cards, coins or other objects inside the CD
unit.
– Do not insert irregular-shaped discs, discs with anti-scratch protection or discs with labels attached inside the unit.
– Do not insert DVDs, Dual-Disc, DVD+, Flip Disc as these contain large quantities of information and can not be read.
