INTRODUCTIONADVICE
Road safety
You are advised to learn how to use the
various sound system functions (e.g.: stor-
ing stations) before starting to drive.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly
when driving. Reception can be disturbed
by the presence of mountains, buildings,
bridges particularly when far away from
the broadcaster received.
IMPORTANT When receiving traffic in-
formation, the volume may be higher than
normal.

The sound system has been designed in ac-
cordance with the special features of the
passenger compartment, with a person-
alised design that blends with the style of
the dashboard.
The sound system is installed in a user-
friendly position for the driver and passen-
ger and the graphics on the front panel
make location of the controls quick, facili-
tating use.
In the following pages you will find the in-
structions for use, which you are advised
to read through carefully. The instructions
also contain the procedure for controlling
the CD Changer (where provided) through
the sound system. For the instructions for
use of the CD Changer refer to the specific
manual.
Too high a volume when dri-
ving can put the driver’s life at
risk and that of other people. There-
fore the volume should always be ad-
justed in such a way that it is always
possible to hear the noises of the sur-
rounding environment (e.g.: horns, am-
bulance, police sirens, etc.).

IMPORTANT The CD player can read
most of the compression systems cur-
rently on sale (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING,
FRAUNHOFER) however, due to the
evolution of these systems, reading of all
compression formats is not guaranteed.
IMPORTANT When loading a multi-ses-
sion CD, only the first session will be
played. IMPORTANT Should copy-protected
CDs be used, then, few seconds may be
required for playing them. Moreover, due
to the proliferation of always new and dif-
ferent protection methods, it is not guar-
anteed that the CD player can play what-
ever protected disc. Copy protection is
often indicated on the CD cover in small
letters or hard to read characters. Usu-
ally it is indicated by writings like: “COPY
CONTROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”,
“THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A
PC/MAC”, or it is identified by symbols
like:TECHNICAL DATA

INTRODUCTION
RADIO
When the signal of the RDS station tuned
weakens, the following two cases may oc-
cur:
– With “AF SWITCHING: ON” the RDS
system activates automatic tuning of the
optimum frequency of the station chosen,
with the stations enabled, therefore the
radio is automatically tuned to the station
with the strongest signal that is broad-
casting the same programme. During the
journey it will thus be possible to contin-
ue listening to the station chosen with-
out having to change the frequency when
changing area. Of course, the station be-
ing listened to must be receivable in the
area the car is crossing.
– With “AF SWITCHING: OFF” the ra-
dio will not tune the strongest station au-
tomatically and it will have to be found
manually using the tuner buttons. AF FUNCTION
(alternative frequency search)
To turn the AF function on/off, press
briefly button AF
PTY. RDS name (if avail-
able) will stay on the display and if the
function is on the wording is shown.
– “AF SWITCHING: ON” = alternative
frequency search on
– “AF SWITCHING: OFF” = alternative
frequency search off.TA FUNCTION
(traffic information)
Certain stations in the FM band (in stor-
age blocks FM1, FM2, FM3 and FMAST)
are enabled to also broadcast information
about traffic conditions. During a traffic
bulletin, the message “TRAFFIC INFO”
will be displayed alternate with the cur-
rent one (e.g.: station name).
To turn the TA function on/off, press
briefly button TA. When the TA function
is on the display will show the message
“TA-ON”.
When the TA function is on, an incoming
traffic bulletin will stop temporarily the
current broadcasted programme or the
CD being played. Switching from the se-
lected station to the station broadcasting
traffic announcements is only possible if
connection for EON function is enabled.

This section only describes MP3 CD play-
er operation variants : as concerns sound
system operation, refer to section
“FUNCTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS”.

and Thomson multimedia.
MP3 MODE
In addition to standard audio CDs, the
sound system can also play audio files in
MP3 format. Sound system will operate as
described for the sound system with com-
pact disc player when inserting a conven-
tional audio CD, excluding functions CD
NAMING/TRACK SELECTION (TPM)
and CD NAMING that are disabled.READING MP3 CD
Inserting a CD-ROM into the proper slot
will start two stages:
– Scanning all CD tracks to find audio files.
Audio files take priority over the other
files and their identification enables the
sound system to play just these files. The
display will show the name and the word
“SCAN” flashing (e.g. “MIDNIGHT MO-
TION SCAN”).
– Reading all MP3 files to determine the
structure of folders and tracks. During this
stage the display will show the message
“READING DISC”. To read a complex
MP3 file structure (made up of different
sessions with several folders and files), ap-
proximately 2 minutes can be required.
For optimal playing use only top quality
CDs mastered at as low as possible speed.
CD-ROM reading will be interrupted in
the following cases:
– correct CD-ROM reading with MP3 files
identification. In this event the display will
show the “MP3” icon and track playback
will start from the first file and first fold-
er (see next paragraph “TRACK PLAY-
ING MODE”);– if after 2 minutes the CD-ROM reading
is not ended. The display will show, for
about 5 seconds, the message “CHECK
DISC”. In this event the sound system will
change the sound source and return to the
Tuner (Radio) mode.
– if no MP3 file is found. In this event the
display will show, for about 5 seconds, the
message “NO MP3 FILES”. In this event
the sound system will change the sound
source and return to the Tuner (Radio)
mode.

TRACK PLAYING MODE
When playing a CD-ROM with MP3 files,
the sound system will display the track
name and play time (e.g. “MIDNIGHT
MOTION 4:37”).
During playback the following operations
can be performed:
– continuous or single scroll on track
name
– scrolling tracks up or down according to
single, multiple or continuous mode
– scrolling folders up or down (see next
paragraph “FOLDER STRUCTURE”).DISP FUNCTION
This function enables to change display
settings for the different CD info (e.g. files,
folder, singer’s name, album name, etc.).
To turn this function on keep button 4
DISPpressed for over 2 seconds and then use
the button/knob ON/OFF to select the in-
fo to display.
In MP3 mode, the sound system will:
– play MP3 files only
– play the tracks in alphabetic-numeric or-
der for each folder (also ordered with the
same criteria) (it is recommended to put
a number before the file name, e.g. “01”,
“02” or “001”, “002”)
– return to the start of the last file each
time the sound system is turned on.During track selection (see paragraph
track selection (forward/backward), the
display will show the folder number and
the track number and name (e.g. “3/13
MIDNIGHT MOTION”).
To facilitate track selection, the sound sys-
tem stores the number of pushes on pre-
set buttons (1 to 6) and then will skip once
like for a single request.
IMPORTANT MP3 files recorded with the
variable bit-rate method could produce
discrepancies when displaying the track
play time.
IMPORTANT The CD player can read
most of the compression systems cur-
rently on sale (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING,
FRAUNHOFER) however, due to the
evolution of these systems, reading of all
compression formats is not guaranteed.
