“SEARCH” will disappear from the display when the alternative frequency has been found or after the frequency band has been run through completely.

If the reception quality of the selected program deteriorates beyond a certain point:

• Tune into another station.

REG - regional program

Certain radio programs are split up at times into regional programs offering local information. The 1st program broadcast by NDR, for example, offers programs with different contents in the northern states of Germany Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain times of the day. If you are listening to a program and want to continue to listen to that program, it is advisable to switch to REG ON.

Note:

As already mentioned, these functions are not supported by all of the RDS stations at the present time.

ENGLISH

Traffic information station reception with RDS-EON

The abbreviation “EON” stands for Enhanced Other Networks, which means that information is exchanged within a radio network.

Many FM radio stations provide their service area with traffic messages at regular intervals.

Along with their programs, all traffic information stations transmit a special carrier signal, which is decoded by your car radio. If this signal is identified, “TP” will appear in the display (Traffic program).

In addition to these, there are also stations which do not actually transmit traffic information themselves, but by using RDS-EON it is possible for them to forward the traffic messages broadcast by another traffic information station in the same radio network.

If you want to have the priority for traffic announcements activated while listening to one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), “TA” must appear on the display panel.

If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the radio will automatically switch to the linked traffic program station (in this case, NDR2) for the duration of the message and return to the original program (NDR3) afterwards.

Traffic announcement priority on/off

If the priority for traffic announcement programmes is activated, “TA” will light up in the display. To switch the priority on or off:

• Press the TA button.

If you press TA while a message is being broadcast, this message will be interrupted. The unit will then switch back to the previous mode. The priority for other traffic messages remains active.

Please note that several buttons have no function while a traffic announcement is broadcast.

Warning beep

If you leave the reception area of the traffic information station you are currently tuned into, you will hear a warning beep at intervals of approx. 30 seconds.

This warning beep will also be emitted if you press a preset button for a station which does not send the traffic information signal.

Switching the warning beep off

a) Tune into another station offering traf-

fic information:

• Press the rocker switch or

• press a preset button which has a traffic information station allocated to it.

Or: b) Switch off the priority for traffic an-

nouncements:

• Press TA. “TA” will disappear from the display.

Automatic search function

(Cassette operation)

If you are listening to a cassette and you leave the reception area for the traffic information station you have selected, then the car radio will automatically search for a new traffic information station. If the radio is unable to find a traffic information station within 30 sec. after the station search has started you will hear a beep every 30 sec. to alert you to this situation. Proceed as described above to switch off the beep.

Adjusting the volume for traffic announcements and the warning beep

This volume was preset at the factory, but you can use the DSC function to alter the setting as desired (see “DSC programming

Clock - Time

This car stereo is equipped with a built-in clock which automatically takes advantage of RDS to ensure highly accurate time-keeping (hours, minutes).

For the clock to function properly with RDS, an RDS station with the CT function (CT – clock time) must be received.

The automatic correction of the time can be switched off.

Setting the clock

a) automatically

The clock is set automatically when the radio is tuned into an RDS station which has the “CT” function (clock time).

b) manually with DSC-CLOCKSET

• Press DSC briefly, “CLOCKSET” will

appear in the display.

• Press << >> to set the hours/min-

utes. You can move to a different position by pressing / .

• After you have set the clock, press

ENT briefly to store the new setting.

Displaying the clock

You can set the clock to permanent display in both the radio and CD modes.

Radio mode: You can switch between clock display and

waveband (incl. memory bank for FM). To do so

• press DIS for approx. 2 seconds. Cassette operation:

You can select from four different display modes.

To switch to the clock

• press DIS repeatedly until CLOCK appears in the top line of the display.

Changer operation: You can select from three different display

modes. To switch to the clock

• press DIS as often as necessary.

Correcting the clock after the power has been disconnected

If the radio has been disconnected from its power source for a longer period of time, “0:00” will appear in the display when it is re-connected.

The time will be set automatically by RDSCT, but can also be adjusted manually if desired.

You need only set the time manually if it is not possible to receive an RDS station with CT (clock time).

If you want to set the time manually, refer to the section on “DSC programming - CLOCKSET”.

Deactivating the hour correction function

In the DSC menu it is possible to switch off the hour correction function with “CLK MAN/ CLK AUTO”. An automatic correction for minutes will continue to take place.

This is useful if you would like to display the time for a different time zone, for example.

If necessary,

• Press DSC briefly and

• Press / as often as required until “CLK MAN/CLK AUTO” appears in the display.

To deactivate the hour correction function press << >> to select “CLK MAN”.

Setting the equaliser

The acoustic characteristics of the car interior affect the quality of the sound reproduced in your vehicle to a much greater extent than the speakers.

Position, installation and the rear volumes of, for example, the door or rear window shelf all play an important role.

Even the sound produced by well selected and installed speakers can be affected negatively by resonance frequencies in the vehicle interior.

As a result, the bass sounds may be lost or reverberate, the mid-range tones sound too overpowering and music instruments or voices may be distorted or the total sound quality may be completely lifeless.

The overall sound quality can be greatly enhanced if certain frequencies are suppressed or boosted.

This car stereo is equipped with 2 parametric filters. The first filter “LOW EQ” can be set from 32 to 500 Hz, the second filter “HIGH EQ” from 630 to 10000 Hz. In this context, parametric means that it is possible to set the frequency and either boost or reduce it (+10 to –20 dB) individually for each of these filters.

These parametric filters can be adjusted to very exact settings even without the help of measuring instruments.

The individual steps you have to take to make these settings are described in the table.

Notes on making the settings

The following notes are intended as recommendations only. They do not necessarily reflect your own personal sound preferences.

We recommend that you use a music cassette/CD which you are familiar with to adjust the filters. The cassette/CD should include different types of musical instruments and vocals. Purely electronic music is not well suited to serve as a basis for making the settings because the original sounds cannot be determined.

Before you set the equaliser, set bass, treble, balance and fader to “0”.

This setting is described in the Quick Reference under 8 AUD.

Now listen to the cassette/CD you have selected.

Evaluate the sound according to your own personal preferences.

Now refer to “Sound impression/problem” in the table and you will find suggestions to eliminate any problems under “What to do”.

Make the settings for bass and the lower mid-range tones with the LOW EQ filter,

select HIGH EQ for treble and mid-range tones.

The “HIGH EQ” and “LOW EQ” filters can be set in the DSC menu:

• Press DSC.

• Press / as often as necessary until “HIGH EQ” or “LOW EQ” appears in the display.

• Press << or >> once and

• Set the level in the following table by pressing

• Press << >> to switch the frequency range.

• Press ENT to store your settings.

You can switch the equaliser on and off by pressing AUD for approx. 2 seconds.

Now you can compare the sound produced by your car stereo with and without the equaliser.
