EON (Enhanced Other Network)
Function that allows the radio to tune automatically on
a different station than the one being listened to which
broadcasts traffic information.
Fader
Function with which it is possible to suitably adjust the
sound from the front or rear speakers.
Hicut (treble reduction)
Function with which it is possible to reduce the treble
tones, in accordance with the signal transmitted.
Loudness
Function that emphasises the bass and treble tones
when listening at low level. It is cut off with the
volume set to maximum.
MSS (previous/next track search)
With this function it is possible to listen to next or
previous track on the tape.Mute
This function enables to mute the active source. This
function is activated automatically, if a cell phone is
connected to the radio, when a phone call is being
received.
Presettings
Number of radio stations that can be stored manually
or automatically.
PTY (Program Type)
This function allows the presetting of a category of
programmes such as for instance, news bulletins,
music, sport, etc. The set automatically gives priority
to the type of programme selected when the
transmission starts, interrupting the one in progress.
RDS (Radio Data System)
This is an additional radio information system which
uses the 57 kHz subcarrier of normal FM broadcasts.
With this function it is possible to receive different
types of information such as station names, alternative
frequencies, automatic tuning to traffic bulletins or
special programmes selected through the PTY
function.

The functions that cannot be selected (e.g.: “TAPE”
when the cassette is not inserted) are automatically
disabled. If the cassette is not inserted or the CD
Changer is not connected, pressing button 6 (SRC-SC)
the display will show the message “NO CD” for about
2.5 seconds, then the sound system will set
automatically to “TUNER” (Radio).
Pause function
If while listening to a cassette or Compact Disc
another function is selected (e.g. the radio), playing is
stopped and when the cassette or Compact Disc
mode is resumed, it starts again from the point in
which it was stopped.
If while listening to the radio another function is
selected, when the Radio mode is resumed, it is tuned
to the last station selected.Volume adjustment
Press the “VOL+” button (22) to increase the volume
or “VOL–” (20) to lower it.
Pressing the button briefly the change is gradual by
steps.
Pressing longer, the change is fast. For a few seconds
the display shows the wording “VOL” and the volume
level (from 0 to 66).
If the volume level is changed during the broadcast of a
traffic bulletin or during use of the phone (if the voice
feature is installed), the new setting is maintained only
until the end of the bulletin or phone call. Volume can
be also adjusted during manual/automatic tuning,
AutoSTore, radio station scan or CD Changer mode.
IMPORTANT On versions not fitted with rear
speakers, if the volume is low although the value set is
high, check whether the Fader function is set to “F”
(front). Fader setting to “R” (rear) will actually reduce
the sound system output till muting the volume if the
value set is R+9.

To switch on the Autostore function, keep button 7
(BN-AS) pressed until receiving the confirmation
“beep”. With this function the radio automatically
stores the six stations with the strongest signal in
decreasing order of intensity of the FMT frequency
band.
IMPORTANT Activating the AutoSTore function
cancels the stations stored previously in the FMT band.
If the TA function is on (traffic information), only the
stations that send traffic information will be stored.
This function may also be turned on when listening to
a tape or CD Changer (if installed).During automatic storage the display shows “A-
STORE”.
To interrupt AutoSTore press button 7 (BN-AS) again:
the radio will automatically tune to the station heard
before activation of the AutoSTore function.
At the end of the AutoSTore function the radio
automatically tunes on the first preset station in the
FMT band, stored on preset button 1 (18).
On buttons (“18”, “17”, “16”, “15”, “14”, “13”)
numbered from 1 to 6, the stations are automatically
stored that give a strong signal in that moment in the
present band.

With the TA function (traffic information) it is
possible:
1) to search only RDS stations that transmit in the FM
band, enabled to broadcast traffic information;
2) to receive traffic information even if the tapes
player or CD Changer is in use;
3) to receive traffic information at a predefined
minimum volume even with the radio volume off.
The operations to be carried out for each of the three
above conditions are listed below.
1) To receive stations enabled to broadcast traffic
information:
❒select band FM1, FM2 or FMT;
❒briefly press button 1 (AF-TA) so that the display
shows “TA”;
❒press tuner buttons “
˜” (9) or “÷”(12).
To store stations with TA on, carry out the storage
operations (see “Manual station storage”).2) If wishing to receive traffic information when
listening to a cassette or CD, before inserting the
cassette or starting the CD Changer, in Telephone
mode or with Mute function on, tune to a station
enabled to broadcast traffic information (TP) and
activate the TA function. If while listening to the
cassette or Compact Disc, this station broadcasts
traffic information, the tape or CD will be suspended
temporarily and resumed again automatically after the
end of the message. At the start of receiving traffic
information the display will briefly show the wording
“INFO TRA”, while the display continues giving the
last information (frequency, etc.).
If the tape player is already working and at the same
time you want to receive traffic information, briefly
pressing button 1 (AF-TA) the radio tunes to the last
station heard in the FM band, the TA function is
activated and the traffic messages are transmitted. If
the station selected does not send traffic information,
the search for an enabled station starts automatically.
If wishing to interrupt the traffic information message,
briefly press button 1 (AF-TA) during transmission of
the message.

tuned is not able to provide traffic information or it is
no longer able to provide this information (the display
will not show “TP”), so after about 1 minute in which
the radio is in these conditions:
❒if listening to a tape another station is sought that is
enabled to transmit traffic information;
❒if when listening to the radio a “beep” is given to
alert that it is not possible to receive traffic
information, to interrupt it, it is necessary to tune
to a station that can provide traffic information or
switch off the TA function.
The TA function is interrupted in the following cases:
❒in radio mode: press a preset button during a traffic
bulletin;
❒pressing button 6 (SRC-SC) during a traffic bulletin;

(earthquakes, floods, etc.), if they are broadcast by the
station tuned.
This function is activated automatically and cannot be
deactivated.
Program Type function (PTY)
(selecting a type of programme)
