If manual tuning is currently active
MAN will be shown in the
display. If the right-hand rotary control is not turned immediately, after a short while
MAN will disappear from the dis-
play and manual tuning will be cancelled.
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 various regional alternatives are indicated by
means of a star (e.g.
4*).
When one of these stations is selected (e.g.
4*), all receivable
regional alternatives for this station will be displayed.
You can then select the desired regional alternative
(e.g. ).
If the signal quality of a regional alternative drifts despite the
RDS Diversity function, it may mean that regional alternatives are only transmitted on a few frequencies. Therefore,
there are fewer frequencies with strong signals available for
the unit to switch to.

Poor reception or interference may distort the radio text or
prevent it from being displayed completely.
In order to quit the radio text level, press the button or
the left-hand rotary control .
Note: Since information transmitted via radio text is
constantly changing, we recommend displaying the radio text only when the vehicle is stationary to avoid unnecessary distraction for the
driver. This is a necessary precaution for accident prevention.

Traffic programme (TP)
If an RDS Diversity station broadcasts TP announcements,
the CD-, MP3,- CDC/AUX-, MW-, LW-, and SW modes can
be interrupted or the mute function suspended in order to
switch to the TP announcements. 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 transmitter:
- automatic tracking
- direct programming
Automatic tracking always uses the FM station currently be-
ing received as the TP transmitter. If the selected FM station
has poor signal quality or cannot function as a TP transmitter,
the unit applies specified criteria to search for a new TP transmitter.
With direct programming, a TP station other than the one
being listened to can be programmed. 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 transmitter reception is poor, the unit
switches to automatic tracking until the programmed TP
transmitter can be restored.
If an RDS station features traffic programmes, this is indicated on the display by
An inverse appears on the display to indicate that the traffic programme is active.

General instructions for 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 storage medium
• The maximum number of files per medium is 400.
• Only MP3 music files 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 with a maximum acceptable
tag length of 4 KB.
• The display of artist’s name and track title is restricted to
a total maximum length of 50 characters.
MP3 mode
• The MP3 formats MPEG1, MPEG2 and MPEG2.5
Layer3 are supported by the unit.
Fixed and variable bit rates of 8 -280 kbit/s and scan rates
of 8-48 kHz are supported.
• 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 data and conventional audio tracks are included on the CD it is usually referred to as a mixed-mode
CD. On this kind of CD the audio tracks are generally located in the first directory on the CD.
For further information about creating MP3 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
CDs.
