GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The car radio reception and playing system has been developed with the acoustic properties of the pas­
senger compartment in mind to offer outstanding sound reproduction at all times.
The system is installed on the car directly during production, without subsequent interventions. All wires
are integral with the car wiring.
The system includes:
- radio
- front speakers (with separate tweeters)
- rear speakers
- radio supply leads
- radio and speaker connection leads
- radio controls on steering wheel
- coaxial aerial connection lead
- stylus aerial on roof
- connection lead for CD changer, located in boot.

1. Press knob A (VOL).
2. Turn on/off by means of car ignition switch. This function may be set in the EXPERT control level.
Manual activation and deactivation are possible at all times in this case.
Note: // the EXPERT "IGN" function is not active, the radio goes off automatically 20 minutes after the
engine is turned off.
ADJUSTING VOLUME AND SOUND
Volume
Adjust to required volume by means of knob A (VOL),
the display shows: «VOL 00» D «V0L 31».
Adjusitng sound
For each of the settings BASS, TREBLE, FADER, BALANCE, LOUDNESS:
1. Select functions by pressing the AUD key once or more.
2. Select the required sound setting by means of key A or select the basic setting: press the AUD key for
longer than 2 seconds until the display shows «CENTER» Or «- -«.
3. Finish adjustment: press the AUD key several times until the display shows «V0L ...».
NOTE: the radio comes with a sound reproduction condition memory specific to each source type.. This
makes it possible to set different sound geometries (FADER, BALANCE) and frequency responses
(BASS, TREBLE, LOUDNESS) for radio, cassette and phone sources (Automatic Sound Memory
function)..After about 5 seconds, the control level with the current settings is automatically aban­
doned.

Tuning RDS programmes (IS LEARN) function (see EXP)
The IS LEARN function (which can be run only after activating the EXPERT function) can be used to
store up to 30 programmes in the IS memory (virtual memory area that does not correspond to storage
keys).
Stored programmes can be called up one by one as described in the EXP section.
The IS memory is useful when the station selection keys are restored or when the tuning stops on a new
reception field and you do not wish to deleted stored stations from preset keys.
Starting the automatic IS LEARN function
Use the BN key to select the range «FM 1», «FM 2» or «FM 3».
Press the SRC key for longer than 2 seconds. «IS ...» will appear on the display, the receiver starts the
search.
If an attempt is made to start the IS LEARN search without the IS mode being active (see EXPERT), the
display will show the message "EXPERT".
NOTE: Always wait for the end of the automatic intelligent search (IS).
If no reception is possible, the automatic intelligent research may stay on, e.g. in an underground garage
or if the aerial is defective. In this case, the automatic search can be interrupted by pressing one of the
station selection keys from 1 to 6.
The automatic intelligent search IS ensures up to 30 stations can be stored with optimum reception.
During automatic intelligent search IS, RDS programmes are stored first ordered by programme code, fol­
lowed by FM stations.
Calling up the contents of the IS memory
Stations can be called up from the memory in the required direction by giving a short press to one of the
keys A or B. «IS-SCAN» appears on the display during station selection.
Programme types (PTY)
Many radio programmes offer the programme type service (PTY) in the FM range (FM1, FM 2, FM3) The
message «NEWS» is displayed during a news programme, for example.
The PTY function activates a search filter that allows the radio to tune only to stations that broadcast pro­
grammes with a preset PTY code.

ADVICE AND PRECAUTIONS
RECEPTION CONDITIONS
The reception conditions will vary greatly while driving.
Reception can be affected by mountains, buildings or bridges especialy when far away from the transmit­
ter of the station you are listening to.
Note: when listening to traffic information (TA), the volume may rise considerably compared to normal
levels.
MAINTENANCE
The radio is built for long-term use without any special maintenance requirements.
If necessary, clean the panel with a soft, antistatic cloth. Cleaning and polishing products could damage
the surface.
TAPES
For optimal playing conditions:
- do not use poor quality tapes, with deformations or peeling labels;
- do not leave the tape inside the radio when not in use;
- do not introduce any objects into the cassette slot;
- do not expose the tapes to sunlight, excessive temperature or high moisture levels;
- replace the tapes in their cases after use;
- dirt on the playing heads caused by tapes could eventually lead to a reduction in high tones during
playing. It is therefore advisable to clean the playing heads at intervals using a special non-abrasive
head cleaning tape;
- it is preferable to C60 tapes or in the worst case C90 tapes to ensure optimum playing quality at all
times. The very fine tape contained in very long cassettes could also break very easily;
- avoid inserting cassettes with loose tapes, particularly if C90, because the tape could emerge and block
the mechanism. If the radio detects a loose tape or similar problems, the cassette is in any case auto­
matically ejected;
- do not lubricate the tape mechanism;
- do not touch the playing heads with magnetic or hard items.
