Information
Dear customer,
If you did not receive any appliance-

equipped with a comfort coding
system for which you do not require
any code. If disconnecting and
reconnecting the battery, first switch
on the ignition with the key in the igni-
tion switch and only then turn on the
radio. If you nevertheless still wish to
have the code, please ask your Skoda
Dealer.
The appliance conforms to EMC Safety
requirements (EC directive 89/336 EEC,
and 93/68/EEC) in compliance with the

Important Information
Caution!!!
When driving a vehicle, always
remember that your concentration
should be focussed on the road
traffic!!!
Modern road traffic always requires the
full concentration of the traffic partici-
pants.
The extensive equipment details in
modern car radios offer not only enter-
tainment but also a variety of information
about the traffic situation, weather condi-
tions etc.
Please remember only to operate the
car radio when the traffic situation
really permits.
Please observe the following instruc-
tions!!!
• Familiarise yourself with the extensive functions in your car radio before start-
ing to drive and refer to the instruction
manual when necessary.
• The more complicated settings, e.g. those in the set-up menu which are
usually only necessary once or rarely,
should be done while the vehicle is still
stationary before you start to drive. • If during the drive you are unclear
about functions in the car radio or if
unexpected effects set in, check these
when the vehicle is stationary and refer
to the instruction manual if necessary.
• Select a volume which allows acoustic sounds from outside to be heard in the
vehicle at all times.
Comfort radio coding
• Your car radio is equipped with an appliance-specific security code. The
security code need only be entered
when the radio is used for the first time
in the vehicle. After the first input of the
code number, the radio "gets to know”
its vehicle. Accordingly, it is not neces-
sary to enter the code number after an
interruption of vehicle voltage either.
The radio automatically checks the
vehicle’s data when turned on after the
ignition has been switched on. It is only
necessary to enter the code number if
it becomes apparent that the radio is in
another vehicle. If you did not receive any appliance-
specific security code, your vehicle is
equipped with a comfort coding
system for which you do not require
any code. If disconnecting and
reconnecting the battery, first switch
on the ignition with the key in the igni-
tion switch and only then turn on the
radio. If you nevertheless still wish to
have the code, please ask your Skoda
Dealer.
The code number should not be kept
in the vehicle but left in a safe place at
home.
Since the appliance is only able to func-
tion if the correct code is entered, it is
useless after theft and therefore protec-
ted against theft.
When the appliance is turned off and the
ignition is switched off, a flashing LED 
indicates the theft protection.

Radio operation
RDS functions
RDS, (Radio Data System) makes it pos-
sible to show the name of the program
received.
During the drive RDS automatically as-
sumes the function of seeking and if
necessary setting alternative frequencies
for the set program to ensure the best
possible reception within a transmitting
range even under unfavourable condi-
tions.
Storing RDS Programs
When storing RDS programs, the corre-
sponding station button must not be
pressed until its program name is shown
in the display. This ensures to a large
extent that all RDS data can be evaluated
and stored if required.
T ake care also that no "scroll text” is
shown in the display when storing as this
will be stored instead of the program
name then.
When a stored RDS program is called up,
the corresponding program name appears
in the display. If the reception of the
stored frequency is not good, the appli-
ance automatically selects an alternative
frequency (best station function) of the
same program.
General Information
In unfavourable conditions, e.g. on moun-
tainous stretches, the appliance checks
alternative frequencies very often. This
may cause momentary muting.
Mode of operation of RDS
In addition to the normal radio signal, an
inaudible digital flow of data is sent with
RDS. This flow contains among other
things the following data:
Program identification (PI Code):
With the PI code, the radio recognises the
program just received.
Program Service Name (PS code):
The PS code transmits the name which is
to be shown in the display.
The PS code is used by some programs
to transmit additional information which is
shown in the display.
Alternative frequencies (AF List):
A program is normally transmitted from
several broadcasting stations on different
frequencies. The AF list contains the fre-
quencies which this receiver can set for
this program. T
raffic Broadcast Code (TP
Code = Traffic
Program):
Code for a radio traffic service station.
Announcement Code (T
A =Traffic
Announcement):
With the TA Code, the appliance recog-
nises a radio traffic service announce-
ment. If necessary, the volume of the
appliance is raised and the CD operation
interrupted.
Music /Speech switchover (MS Code)
For spoken programs the MS code
switches the frequency to good speech
intelligibility.
Catastrophe reports
(RDS Code designation =PTY 31)
Catastrophe reports have priority above
all other functions.
EON (
Enhanced information concerning
Other Networks),
Programs which use EON take over traffic
announcements from other programs.
During a report the name of the other pro-
gram is shown in the display.

Security code
Security code
When the appliance is turned OFF and
the ignition key taken out, a blinking LED
, if this has not been turned OFF in the
set-up menu, draws attention to this theft
protection. This electronically prevents
the appliance being started by unauthor-
ised persons in another vehicle.
If you did not receive any appliance-
specific security code, your vehicle is
equipped with a comfort coding system
for which you do not require any code. If
disconnecting and reconnecting the bat-
tery, first switch on the ignition with the
key in the ignition switch and only then
turn on the radio. If you nevertheless still
wish to have the code, please ask your
Skoda dealer.
Comfort radio coding
When used first, the comfort coding
stores the code number not only in the
radio, but also in the vehicle. If the
vehicle’s voltage is now interrupted, the
radio, when next put into operation, will
compare the internal number with the
number in the vehicle. If these two
numbers agree, the radio is directly
ready for operation without restriction.
The code number is only queried if thetwo numbers do not agree.
The code number should not be kept
in the vehicle but should be left in a
SAFE place at home. Only then is the
appliance useless for a thief.
Lifting the electronic barrier
Remember in the following steps to
observe the right sequence and to enter
the correct code as directly as possible.
Read and observe page 4 of "comfort
radio coding" also.
• Turn on the radio. The display shows
"SAFE”.
• After about 3 seconds "1000” appears in the display.
• Use the station button number 1 to
enter the first digit of this code number.
• Repeat these steps with the station but- tons 2 to 4 until you have entered the
code number completely.
• Confirm the entry by depressing the rocker button  (for about 2
seconds) or by pressing the rocker but-
ton .
The radio is now ready for operation. Incorrect code number
If you enter the wrong code number inad-
vertently, the message "SAFE” flashes in
the display. After a few seconds the mes-
sage "1000” will appear. Enter the securi-
ty code number again as described. If an
incorrect code is confirmed again, the
appliance will be barred for about an
hour.
After approximately one hour, whereby
the appliance must have been left on for
this time, the code number can be en-
tered again as described in the above.
This cycle continues until the right code
number is entered.
If you no longer know the code
number, please ask your Skoda
dealer.
