ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the exchange
of information between the radio and the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
present on the car.
This system guarantees maximum safety
and prevents the secret code from being
entered every time the radio power sup-
ply is disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
radio will start to function, whereas if the
comparison codes are not the same or if
the electronic control unit (Body Com-
puter) is replaced, the device will ask the
user to enter the secret code according
to the procedure described in the para-
graph below.Entering the secret code
When the radio is switched on, if the se-
cret code is requested, the display will
show the wording “CODE” for about
2 seconds followed by four dashes “- - - -”.
The secret code is made up of four digits
from 1 to 6, each corresponding to one of
the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press
the button corresponding to the pre-se-
lection stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the
other code digits in the same way.
If the four digits are not entered within
20 seconds, the display will show “Enter
code - - - -”. If this occurs, it is not con-
sidered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within
20 seconds), the car radio will start to work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio
will emit a sound and the display will show
“Radio blocked/wait” to notify the user of
the need to enter the correct code.
Each time the user enters an incorrect
code, the waiting time gradually increases
(1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min,
1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) to a maximum of
24 hours. The waiting time will be shown
on the display with the wording “RADIO
BLOCKED, WAIT”. After the wording has
disappeared it is possible to start the code
entering procedure again.Code card
This document certifies the ownership of
the car radio. The Code Card contains the
model of the radio, the serial number and
the secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card some-
where safe so that the authorities can be
supplied with the relevant information if
the radio is stolen.

EON FUNCTION
(Enhanced Other Network)
In some countries, there are circuits that
group multiple broadcasters that are en-
abled to transmit traffic information to-
gether. In this case, the programme of the
station that is being listened to will be tem-
porarily interrupted to:
❒receive traffic information (only with
the TA function on);
❒listen to regional transmissions each
time they are transmitted by one of the
broadcasters in the same circuit. EMERGENCY ALARM
RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency alerts in
RDS mode in exceptional circumstances
where dangerous situations are threat-
ened (earthquakes, floods, etc.) if these are
being transmitted by the broadcaster
tuned into.
This function is activated automatically and
cannot be turned off.
The wording “ALARM” will be shown on
the display during the transmission of an
emergency alert. The volume of the ra-
dio will change during this announcement
in the same way as during a traffic news.STEREOPHONIC
BROADCASTERS
If the incoming signal is weak, the repro-
duction is automatically switched from
Stereo to Mono.

show the symbol “CD-IN” and the word-
ing “CD Reading”. They will remain dis-
played for the whole time required for the
radio to read the CD. When this time has
elapsed the radio will automatically start
playing the first track.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the variants re-
garding the operation of the CD/MP3 play-
er: as far as the operation of the radio is
concerned, refer to the description in the
chapters “4” and “6”.
NOTE MPEG LAYER-3 audio decoding
technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS
and Thomson multimedia.MP3 MODE
In addition to playing regular audio CDs,
the radio is also enabled to play CD-
ROMs on which audio files have been
recorded in an MP3 format. The radio will
work according to the modes described
in chapter “5” when an ordinary audio CD
is loaded.
To guarantee optimal reproduction it is
advisable to use good quality CDs burned
at the lowest possible speed.
The files on an MP3 CD are structured in
folders that create lists of all the folders
containing MP3 tracks (folders or sub-
folders are all on the same level); the fold-
ers that do not contain MP3 tracks cannot
be selected.The specifications and operating conditions
for playing MP3 files are the following:
❒the CD-ROMs used should be burned
in accordance with ISO standard 9660;
❒the music files should have extension
“.mp3”: files with a different extension
will not be reproduced;
❒The sampling frequencies that can be
reproduced are: 44.1 kHz, stereo (from
96 to 320 kbit/s) - 22.05 kHz, mono or
stereo (from 32 to 80 kbit/s);
❒tracks with a variable bit-rate can be re-
produced.
IMPORTANT The track names must not
include the following characters: spaces,
‘ (apostrophes), ( and ) (open and close
brackets). During the burning of a MP3
CD, make sure that the names of the files
do not contain these characters; if not, the
radio will not be able to play the tracks in-
volved.

SELECTING MP3 SESSIONS
WITH HYBRID DISCS
If a hybrid disc is inserted (Mixed Mode,
Enhanced, CD-Extra) also containing MP3
files, the radio automatically starts play-
ing the audio session. It is possible to move
to the MP3 session whilst playing by keep-
ing the button CD pressed for more than
2 seconds.
IMPORTANT When the function is acti-
vated the radio may take a few seconds to
start playing. Whilst checking the disc the
display will show “CD READING”. If no
MP3 files are detected, the radio will re-
sume playing the audio session from the
point where it was interrupted.
DISPLAY INFORMATION
Id3-tag information display
In addition to the information relating to
the time elapsed, folder name and file
name, the radio is also capable of display-
ing ID3_TAG information relating to Ti-
tle track, Artist and Author.The name of the MP3 folder shown on the
display will correspond to the name used
to store the folder on the CD, followed
by an asterisk.
Example of a complete MP3 folder name:
BEST OF *.
When one of the ID3-TAG pieces of in-
formation is chosen to be displayed (Title,
Artist, Album) and this information has
not been recorded for the track played,
the information will be replaced by that
relating to the name of the file.
SELECTION OF
NEXT/PREVIOUS FOLDER
Press the button ▲to select a next fold-
er or the button ▼to select the previ-
ous folder. The display will show the num-
ber and the name of the folder (e.g. “DIR
2 XXXXXX”).
XXXXXX: name of the folder (the display
will only show the first 8 characters).
The folders are selected cyclically: the first
folder is selected after the last folder and
vice versa. If no other folder/track is selected in the
next 2 seconds, the first track on the new
folder will be played.
If the last track in the folder at that mo-
ment selected is played, the next folder
will be played.
STRUCTURE OF THE FOLDERS
The radio with MP3 player:
❒recognises only the folders that effec-
tively contain MP3 format files;
❒if the MP3 files on a CD-ROM are
structured in “sub-folders”, their struc-
ture is compressed to a single level
structure, where the “sub-folders” are
taken to the level of the main folders.
