For VW and Audi Vehicles
1. When the car stereo is installed in 1998 and
later Volkswagen models, make sure to cut
the car lead wire connected the A-5 terminal.
(A breakdown could occur if the lead wire is
not cut.) After cutting the lead wire, insulate
the front end of the lead wire with insulation
tape to prevent the risk of short-circuits.
Note:
Before cutting the lead wire, disconnect the car
battery - (negative) cable.
2. When the main unit is also connected to an
external amplifier, connect REMOTE on the
external amplifier to the previously cut lead
wire on the side of the connector.
3. Volkswagen models have already changed
position of the fuse for installation in such vehicles.

Handling Compact Discs
English
Use only compact discs bearing the
mark.
Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other
specially shaped compact discs.
Handling
• Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and
CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high
temperature and humidity and some of CD-R
and CD-RW discs may not be played.
Therefore, do not leave them for a long time in
the car.
•New discs may have some roughness around
the edges. If such discs are used, the player
may not work or the sound may skip. Use a
ball-point pen or the like to remove any roughness from the edge of the disc.
•Never stick labels on the surface of the compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil or
pen.
•Never play a compact disc with any cellophane tape or other glue on it or with peeling
off marks. If you try to play such a compact
disc, you may not be able to get it back out of
the CD player or it may damage the CD
player.
• Do not use compact discs that have large
scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use
of such discs may cause misoperation or
damage.
•To remove a compact disc from its storage
case, press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.
• Do not use commercially available CD protection sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers,
etc. These may damage the disc or cause
breakdown of the internal mechanism.

Storage
• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight or any heat source.
• Do not expose compact discs to excess humidity or dust.
• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat
from heaters.
Cleaning
•To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center of the compact disc to the circumference.
• Do not use any solvents, such as commercially available cleaners, anti-static spray, or
thinner to clean compact discs.
• After using special compact disc cleaner, let
the compact disc dry off well before playing it.

RDS Operations
RDS (Radio Data System)
This unit has a built-in RDS decoder system that
supports broadcast stations transmitting RDS data.
This system can display the name of the broadcast station being received (PS) and can automatically switch to the broadcast station with the
best reception as you move long distances (AF
switching).
Also, if a traffic announcement or programme
type is broadcast from an RDS station, no matter
what mode you are in, this broadcast is received.
Additionally, if EON information is received, this
information enables automatic switching of other
preset stations on the same network and interruption of the station being received with traffic
information from other stations (TP). This function is not available in some areas.
When using the RDS function, always set the
radio to FM mode.
• AF : Alternative Frequency
• PS : Programme Service Name
• PTY : Programme Type
• EON : Enhanced Other Network
• TP : Traffic Programme
∗ RDS interrupt does not function during AM radio
reception.
AF function
The AF function switches to a different frequency on the same network in order to maintain optimum reception.
∗ The factory default setting is “ON”.
● Switching OFF the AF function
Press the [AF] button. “AF” in the display goes
off and the AF function turns off.
● Switching ON the AF function
Press the [AF] button. “AF” in the display lights
and the AF function turns on.
∗ If the reception of the current broadcast station
deteriorates, “SEARCH” appears in the display
and the radio searches for the same programme
on another frequency.
Note:
• The AF mode can only be turned on and off in the
RDS mode.
REG (Regional programme) function
When the REG function is ON, the optimum regional station can be received. When this function is OFF, if the regional station area switches
English
as you drive, a regional station for that region is
received.
∗ The factory default setting is “OFF”.
Notes:
• This function is disabled when a national station
such as BBC R2 is being received.
• The REG function ON/OFF setting is valid when
the AF function is ON.
● Switching the REG function ON
Press and hold the [AF] button for 1 second or
longer.
“REG” in the display lights and the REG function
turns on.
● Switching the REG function OFF
Press and hold the [AF] button for 1 second or
longer.
“REG” in the display goes off and the REG function turns off.
Manually tuning a regional station
in the same network
1. This function is valid when the AF function is
ON and the REG function is OFF.
Note:
• This function can be used when a regional broadcast of the same network is received.
2. Press any one of the [DIRECT] buttons to
call out the regional station.
3. If the reception condition of the called out
station is bad, press the [DIRECT] button of
the same number. The unit receives a local
station on the same network.
TA (Traffic Announcement)
In the TA standby mode, when a traffic announcement broadcast starts, the traffic announcement
broadcast is received as top priority regardless of
the function mode so you can listen to it. Traffic
programme (TP) automatic tuning is also possible.
∗ This function can only be used when “TP” is lit in
the display. When “TP” is lit, this means that the
RDS broadcast station being received has traffic
announcement programmes.
● Setting the TA standby mode
If you press the [TA] button when only “TP” is lit in
