Compact Disc
Remember that dirt, marks or dis-
tortion on Compact Disc can cause
skipping. For top performance con-
ditions, we give the following advice:
– Only use Compact Discs which
have the following brand: – never leave the cassette in the
radio when not in use;
– never insert other objects in the
cassette slot;
– do not expose cassettes to the
sun or high temperatures;
– put cassettes back in their boxes
after use;
– over time, dirt on the playing
head caused by tapes may reduce the
high notes when playing. You are
therefore advised to clean the head
routinely using a special cleaner
taper of the non abrasive type;
– preferably use C-60 cassettes and
in any case no longer than C-90 to
ensure the best playing conditions;
– avoid inserting cassettes with
damage tapes in the radio, especially
if using C-90 cassettes, as the tape
might come out and get stuck;
– do not lubricate the cassette
mechanism;
– do not touch the player head
with magnetic or hard objects.– After use, put Compact Discs
back in their container, to avoid
marks or scratches that may cause
skipping when playing.
– Do not expose Compact Discs to
direct sunlight, high temperatures or
damp for prolonged lengths of time
to prevent them from bending.
– Do not stick labels or write on
the recorded surface of Compact
Discs with pens or pencils.
To remove a Compact Disc from
its container, press the centre and
raise the disc carefully, holding it by
the outer circumference.
– Carefully clean all Compact Discs
of fingerprints and dust using a soft
cloth. Support Compact Discs from
the outer circumference and clean
from the centre outwards.
– Never use chemical products for
cleaning (e.g. spray cans, antistatic or
thinners) as they might damage the
surface of Compact Discs.

The “FMAST” reception band is
reserved to the stations stored auto-
matically with the AutoSTorefunc-
tion.
The AMband is divided into sec-
tions: MW, LWand AMAST. The
AMASTsection is reserved to the
stations stored automatically with
the AutoSTorefunction.
The radio is always ready to
receive stations in the RDS mode
(Radio Data System).
Presetting buttons
The buttons with symbols from 1
to 6 (“3”, “4”, “5”, “16”, “17, “18”)
make it possible to set the following
presettings:
– 24 in the FM band (6 in FM 1, 6 in
FM 2, 6 in FM 3, 6 in FMAST)
– 6 in the LW band
– 6 in the MW band
– 6 in the AMAST bandTo call a preset station, choose the
required frequency band and then
press briefly (less than 1 second) the
corresponding preset button (from 1
to 6). The display will show the name
and the presetting number.
Storing the last station heard
The radio automatically keeps in
storage the last station heard for
each reception band, which is then
tuned when the radio is turned on or
the reception band is changed. RADIO (Tuner) fig. 1
When the set is turned on the last
function selected before turning off
is played (Radio, Cassette or CD
Changer).
To select the Radio source while
listening to a cassette or Compact
Disc, press briefly (less than 1 sec-
ond) and repeatedly the 14(SRC)
button until this function is selected.
If in the radio source, press briefly
(less than 1 second) and repeatedly
the 13(BAND
AS) button to select
the required reception band.
Every time the button 13 (BAND
AS) is pressed, the following bands
are selected in sequence: “FM1”,
FM2”, “FM3”, “FM4AST”, “LW”,
“MW” and “AMAST”.
The FMband is divided into sec-
tions: FM1, FM2, FM3and
FMAST. The FMASTsection is
reserved to the stations stored auto-
matically with the AutoSTorefunc-
tion.

The display will show the station
name (if any) and frequency, and on
the bottom line of the display will be
shown “Pn” where ncorresponds
to the active presetting number.
In bands FM1, FM2, FM3 and
FMAST, if reception is poor and the
AF alternative frequency search
function is active, the station with
the strongest signal that is broad-
casting the same programme will be
sought automatically.
AF function (alternative fre-
quency search)
To turn on/off the alternative fre-
quency search function (AF func-
tion), press briefly (less than 1 sec-
ond) the 8(AF
PTY) button. The
name RDS (if available) stays on the
display and if the AF function has
been turned on the messageAF
SWITCHING:ONis displayed.
– “AF SWITCHING: ON” =
alternative frequency searchon
– “AF SWITCHING: OFF” =
alternative frequency search off.When the signal of the RDS station
tuned weakens, the following two
cases may occur:
– 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 auto-
matically tuned to the station with
the strongest signal that is broad-
casting the same programme. During
the journey it will thus be possible to
continue listening to the station cho-
sen without having to change the fre-
quency when changing area. Of
course, the station being listened to
must be receivable in the area the
car is crossing.
– With “AF SWITCHING:
OFF” the radio will not tune the
strongest station automatically and it
will have to be found manually using
the tuner buttons.TA function (traffic informa-
tion)
Certain stations in the FM band (in
FM1, FM2, FM3 and FMAST storing
sections) are enabled to also broad-
cast information about traffic condi-
tions. When listening to traffic infor-
mation the display shows "TRAF-
FIC INFO" and the current station
(e.g. station name) alternately.
To turn the TA (traffic information)
function on/off, briefly press (less
than 1 second) the 9(TA) button. If
the function is on the display shows
“TA-ON”.
With the TAfunction on, at the
start of the traffic bulletin the radio
stops temporarily the current sta-
tion or the cassette/CD in order to
broadcast traffic information. This is
possible only if the current station
selected and the station broadcasting
traffic information are connected for
the EONfunction.

4 - News programmes on/off
(NEWS)
This function is similar to the TA
function: with FM station and NEWS
mode active, if a news programme is
broadcast, the radio operates as fol-
lows:
– it sets the same volume as the TA
function, if the TUNERsource is
active;
– it switches from active source
(cassette or CDC) to TUNER
mode, in case of other source, set-
ting the same volume as the TA func-
tion.
To make use of this function, the
radio, in TUNERmode, must be
tuned on a FM station broadcasting
the NEWS code.
To turn this function on/off, press
buttons 15(<<) or 6(>>).
The display will show the current
status of the function:
– “NEWS: ON” = function on
– “NEWS: OFF” = function off5 - SVC, volume changing with
car speed
The SVC function makes it possible
to automatically adapt the volume
level to the speed of the car, increas-
ing it as the speed increases to main-
tain the ratio with the noise level
inside the passenger compartment.
Press 15 (<<) or 6(>>) to change
SVC setting, thus passing from OFF
to the selected gain level (from 1to
7). High gain level values correspond
to proportionally higher volume
increases according to speed.
The display will show the current
status of the function:
“SPEED VOLUME OFF” =
function off
“SPEED VOLUME: +3” = func-
tion on and gain level indication6 - tuning adjustment on traffic
information (EON TA DX/LO)
This function enables to adjust
reception sensitivity of radio stations
broadcasting traffic information.
To turn this function on/off press
buttons 15(<<) or 6(>>)
The display will show the current
status of the function:
– “TRAFFIC: LOCAL” = low
sensitivity
– “TRAFFIC: DISTANT” = high
sensitivity
7 - loudness on/off (LOUDNESS)
The LOUDNESS function improves
the sound volume when listening at
low level, increasing the basses and
trebles.
To turn this function on/off press
buttons 15(<<) or 6(>>)
