Regionalisation
The RDS diversity function is independent of region. As a result, the RDS diversity function can lead to the radio
switching between various regional programmes which may vary in terms of
broadcasting content. In such a case, the
special regional programming must be
selected directly.
If several regional programmes are
transmitted by one station, this can only
be seen when the station is selected.
Stations with additional regional transmitters are indicated with a star (i.e.

Traffic programme (TP)
If an RDS diversity station broadcasts
TP announcements, it is possible to interrupt CD, MP3/WMA, CDC/AUX,
MW, LW, SW mode or the mute mode
and switch the broadcast TP announcements through. Moreover, you can listen
to one FM station while receiving TP announcements transmitted by another FM
station.
There are two ways to select a TP station:
- Automatic tracking
- Direct programming
Automatic tracking transmits TP bulle-
tins over the FM station currently being
received. If the selected FM station has
poor signal quality or is not a TP station,
the unit applies specified criteria to
search for a new TP station.
Direct programming enables a TP station to be programmed that is not the FM
station being received. This means, for
example, that a particular FM station can
be listened to whilst TP announcements
are received from another one.
If the programmed TP station’s reception is poor, the unit switches to automatic tracking until the programmed TP
station can be restored.
If the unit detects a TP station, this is indicated on the display by

Temperature protection circuit
To protect the laser diode from excessive heat, a temperature protection circuit is integrated into the unit.
When the temperature threshold of this
protection circuit is activated, the following display is given for 8 seconds.
The unit switches to the operating mode
selected before CD mode was activated.
After a cool down period, the CD mode
may be called up again. If the temperature is still too high, the unit will once
again switch back to the previously selected signal source.
Notes on CD-R and CD-RWs
You can play CD-Rs (writeable CDs)
and CD-RW (rewritable CDs) on this
unit, but please comply with legal restrictions. These restrictions may vary
from one country to another.
Depending on the recording device used
to record the CD-R/CD-RW and / or the
CD-R/CD-RW itself, it may not be possible to play some CD-Rs/CD-RWs on
this unit.
CD-Rs/CD-RWs must be manufactured
according to the “Red Book” standard
(not applicable for MP3 CDs).
Notes on copy-protected CDs
In some cases, problems may arise when
attempting to play copy-protected CDs,
such as long reading times or a total inability to perform playback.

General notes on MP3
The music that can be played when your
unit is in MP3 mode is generally copyright-protected under applicable international and national laws. In several
countries, the reproduction of copyrighted material is not permitted, even if only
for personal use, without the express prior consent of the copyright holder.
Please check the current copyright laws
for your country and comply with them.
These restrictions naturally do not apply
to your own compositions and recordings, or for recordings for which authorisation has been obtained from the
copyright holder.
Creating an MP3/WMA storage medium
• The maximum number of tracks per
medium depends on the number of
folders and file name length. Here, for
a full file name length, it can be assumed that for 0 folders about 240
tracks and for, e.g., 50 folders a total
of around 160 tracks are possible.
• Only MP3 and WMA tracks stored on
a CD in compliance with ISO 9660
can be played.
• If the artist’s name and track title are
to be displayed, an ID3 tag must be
added to the MP3 file. This unit supports versions ID3v1 and ID3v2.
• The display of artist’s name and track
title is restricted to a total maximum
length of 24 characters.
• The MP3 formats MPEG1, MPEG2
and MPEG2.5 Layer3 are supported
by the unit.
Fixed and variable bit rates of 8 320 kbit/s and scan rates of 8 - 48 kHz
are supported. For creating MP3 files,
we recommend using the MP3 encoder from Fraunhofer.
MP3 mode
For WMA, WMA 9 with a bit rate of
64 - 192 kbit/s is supported. For creating WMA, we recommend using Windows Media Player Version 9 from
Microsoft
• We recommend a bit rate of at least
160 kbit/s for compressing MP3 files.
It should be noted that with MP3 files
having a variable bit rate, the display
of the elapsed playing time may deviate from real time.
• If both MP3/WMA data and conventional audio tracks are included on the
CD it is usually referred to as a mixedmode CD. On this kind of CD the audio tracks are generally located in the
first directory on the CD.

MP3 mode
• You can play CD-Rs (writeable CDs)
and CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) on this
unit,
You can also use multisession CDs,
but a multisession CD must be finalized before it can be played.
Depending on the recording device
used to record the CD-R/CD-RW
and / or the CD-R/CD-RW itself,
it may not be possible to play some
CD-Rs/CD-RWs on this unit.
For further information about creating
MP3/WMA files and ID3 tags, please
consult your dealer or check on the Internet.
Note:
Due to the abundance of different kinds
of CD burning software and their associated settings we cannot guarantee the
playback quality of MP3/WMA CDs.
Creating a playlist
Due to the number of MP3 files that can
be saved on an MP3 CD, the MP3 CD
quickly becomes confusing. You can
make it less confusing using playlists.
In a playlist, you can combine, for example, all the desired songs in a category
(e.g. rock).
This playlist can then be burned on the
CD together with the MP3 files that are
stored in folders.
The unit recognises this playlist (several
possible) on reading the MP3 CD and
can then play the MP3 tracks in the order
specified by the playlist.
In this case, the playlist mode must be
activated as described in “Switching between folder/playlist” on page 90.
We used the freeware WINAMP in our
trials for creating playlists. Other programs may also be used to create playlists.
The playlist formats M3U and PLS are
supported by the unit.
Note:
Please not that M3U and PLS playlists
are only supported by the unit if these
have been created using relative specified paths.
For further information about creating
playlists, please check on the Internet.

Installation of the microphone
Installation of the microphone
The microphone should be placed in the vehicle to allow optimal recognition of the speaker’s voice. Possible positions in the
vehicle for the microphone can be seen in the following diagram.
!
Attach the hands-free microphone using the Velcro strip D (clean adhesion surfaces).
!
The installation position should be as far away from the loudspeakers, and as near to the speaker, as possible. If problems
occur, different positions should be tested. In order to pick up as little background noise as possible, the microphone has
a narrow pick-up angle and must consequently be directed towards the driver.
A: Optimal installation position
B: Alternative installation position
C: Speaking direction on microphone
D: Velcro strip for attachment
In order to avoid short-circuits and malfunctions, install the cables so that they cannot be pinched, kinked, chafed or detached.

Explanation
RDS SYSTEM
This car radio is capable of receiving
RDS signals (RDS = Radio Data System) on the VHF bands. RDS is a technique for the transmission of inaudible
information in the VHF broadcasting
range. This means that the broadcaster
sends information to be analysed by the
car radio.
DAS Seek Qual. level
At the level DAS Seek Qual., all receivable and identifiable RDS programmes are stored in a list sorted by
quality. The dynamic autostore, search
and scan search functions access this
list.
DAS Seek Name level
At the level DAS Seek Name all receivable and identifiable RDS programmes are stored in a list sorted
alphabetically by name. The dynamic
autostore, search and scan search functions access this list.
RDS Stations level
At the level Stations RDS only identified RDS stations can be stored. The
unit constantly switches to the best receivable transmission frequency for the
station.
During search for
unit will stop only at identifiable stations.
Stations RDS the
Stations Fix level
At the level Stations Fix frequencies can be assigned to the station buttons. RDS evaluation does not take
place. The search for
Stations Fix
is equivalent to manual FM tuning
(Page 75).
PTY (programme type)
With the PTY function, it is possible to
select specific types of programmes,
such as sport, pop music, classical music
etc.
The PTY is broadcast by the RDS station, provided that the broadcaster has
this function installed. The selected station programme type can be displayed or
a search for a specific PTY station can
be performed.
Examples of programme types are:
