Important information Warranty The equipment warranty terms and conditions also apply for new vehicles.
After the expiration of the warranty, a piece of equipment in need of repair will be
replaced with a reconditioned, original item with spare part warranty. It is, howev-
er, a precondition that the housing has not been damaged and no unauthorised
attempts have been made to carry out repairs. Note
Damage within the meaning of the warranty must not be the result of improper
handling of the system or from unprofessional repair attempts. It is also essential
that there is no external damage. Ð
Operation of radio The radio should only be used, if the traffic situation permits it.
The volume settings must be selected in such a way that audible signals from the
outside, e.g. a Martins horn from utility vehicles (police cars, ambulances and fire
brigade), can be heard at all times. 

WARNING
Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully
responsible for road safety. Only use the functions of the radio in such a way
that you are always in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations! Ð
Using the display Carefully handle the display because dents and scratches can occur through pres-
sure of the finger or contact with sharp objects.
The display can be cleaned with a soft cloth and finger marks can be wiped away
with pure alcohol. Note
Do not use solvent such as turpentine or petrol as they will corrode the display
surface. Ð
Anti-theft protection Anti-theft coding Your radio is equipped with a convenience coding. If the radio is being operated
for the first time, the safety code is not only stored in the radio but also in the ve-
hicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, first of all switch on the ignition
and then the radio.
If you wish to install the radio in another vehicle, the safety code must be entered.
In this case, please do not hesitate to contact a
ŠKODA Service Partner or a
ŠKODA importer.
As the unit only functions after entering the safety code, this practically excludes
its use after a theft - a contribution to increased anti-theft safety. Note
The code is stored in the instrument cluster. This ensures that it is automatically
decoded (convenience coding). Manual input of the code is normally not necessa-
ry. Ð
Enter code –
Switch on the radio if the ignition is on. SAFE
is displayed and then 1000.
– Enter the safety code using the station keys 1 -
4 .
– Confirm the safety code by pressing the station key 6 .
If you have confirmed a wrongly entered code, you can repeat once again the en-
tire process.
If the code number is entered incorrectly for the second time, the unit will be
blocked for approx. one hour. It is possible to enter again the safety code after
one hour has expired, when the unit and the ignition have been switched on.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply. Ð
Basic setting Switching the unit on and off –
The system is switched on or off by pressing the control button 1 .
If the key is pulled out of the ignition lock while the unit is switched on, the unit
will switch off automatically. You can switch on the unit again by pressing the
control button 1 . If the ignition is switched off, the unit (discharge protection of
the vehicle battery) switches off automatically after approx. one hour.
If you have switched off the radio by withdrawing the ignition key, the radio
switches on again once the ignition is on. Ð

REG AUTO / REG OFF
Certain programs of the broadcasting companies are divided into regional pro-
grams at specific times. That is why in individual regions the regional programs of
a station can broadcast different contents.
First of all the unit attempts to set only alternative frequencies of the selected
station.
If the quality is however so low, that there is a risk of a

“program loss”, the unit
also accepts “related” frequencies.
When opting for REG AUTO the change to a regional “related” station can only be
performed if there is a risk of losing the station. When selecting REG OFF, the re-
ceiver can access the regional “related” stations unlimited.
GALA
Your radio increases automatically its volume with the increasing vehicle speed. A
higher setting value results in a stronger volume increase.
LOUD
In case of low volume level, the function reinforces the range of bass and treble
frequencies.
BEEP
Switching on or off the tone signal when storing the radio stations. ON VOL
Your radio stores the last volume set before switching off. If the value is higher,
the volume is reduced to the value of the parameter ON VOL after switching on
the radio again.

If your vehicle is equipped with a handsfree system, the monophone play function
of the mobile phone calls is carried out via the loudspeakers of the vehicle.
PDC AT
If your vehicle is equipped with

“parking aid”, the volume is automatically de-
creased to a pre-defined value, when the “parking aid” is active.
● PDC AT0 - no volume restriction;

Information on how to use a CD CD to jump
Uneven road surfaces and strong vibrations may cause the CD to jump.
Formation of condensation
When it is cold and after rain showers, moisture can deposit in the CD drive (con-
densation). This can effect the CD jump or impair the play function. In such cases
wait until the moisture has dissipated.
Notes for the care of the CDs
If a CD is soiled, please never clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather
from inside to outside with a soft lint-free cloth. In case of severe layers of dirt we
recommend to clean the CD with a commercially available CD cleaner. Also in this
case do not clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather from inside to out-
side and then let it dry off. Overheating protection
If the temperature in the unit exceeds 85°C, the play function of the CD is ended
for safety reasons. CAUTION
● Never use liquids such as gasoline, paint thinner or disk cleaner, otherwise the
surface of the CD could get damaged!
● Never expose the CD to direct sun rays!
● Please never write or affix the CD! Note
Dirt or damage of a CD can lead to difficulties when “reading” the information. The
difficulty in reading the error depends on the dirt or on the severity of the me-
chanical damage. Severe scratches cause reading errors which can make the CD
jump or
“get stuck ”. All CDs must be treated carefully and always be stored in a
protective case. Ð

CD player

Please refer to the Owner's manual of the respective manufacturer for the opera-
tion of the external audio source.
Use the standard jack plug 3.5
mm for the AUX-IN socket. If the external audio
source does not have this jack plug, you must use an adapter.
Adjust the play function volume of the external audio source
The play function volume of the external audio source can be changed via the vol-
ume control on the radio.
Depending on the connected audio source, the output volume on the external au-
dio source can be changed.
You can also change the input sensitivity of the AUX-IN socket ⇒ page 4 in order
for the play function volume of the external audio source to adapt to other audio
sources or to avoid distortions of the play function volume. WARNING
● On no account place an external audio source on the dash panel. You could
make sudden manoeuvres in the passenger compartment and injure the occu-
pants.
● On no account place an external audio source close to the airbags. You
could be thrown back in the passenger compartment by the airbags being de-
ployed and injure the occupants.
● You must not hold the external audio source in the hand or on the knees
while driving. You could make sudden manoeuvres in the passenger compart-
ment and injure the occupants.
● Always guide the connection cable of the external audio source in such a
way that is does not restrict you when driving. CAUTION
The AUX-IN socket must only be used for audio sources! Note
● Your radio has no control over the level setting of the external source. Make
sure that the highest quality is achieved by a suitable combination of input sensi-
tivity and output sensitivity of the external source (volume control). You will find
detailed information for this setting in the operating instructions of the units.
● If an external audio source is connected via AUX-IN, which is equipped with an
adapter for external power supply, it can occur that the audio signal is interrupted.
This depends on the quality of the adapter which is used.
● The loudspeakers in the vehicle are matched to a power output of the radio of
30°W. Ð8
