The car sound system, fitted with CD player (radio with Compact Disc player) or MP3 CD player (radio with MP3 CD player) has been designed in accordance with the special features of the passenger compartment, with a personalised design that blends with the style of the dashboard. The sound system cannot be adapted to other vehicles and for this reason it cannot be removed.

The radio is installed in a user-friendly position for the driver and passenger and the graphics on the front panel make location of the controls quick, facilitating use.

The CD Changer is available at Lineaccessori Fiat.

In the following pages you will find the instructions for use, which you are advised to read through carefully. The instructions also contain the procedure for controlling the CD Changer (if provided) through the radio. For the instructions for use of the CD Changer refer to the specific manual.

ADVICE

Road safety

You are advised to learn how to use the various radio functions (e.g.: storing stations) before starting to drive.

Reception conditions

Reception conditions change constantly when driving. Reception may be disturbed by the presence of mountains, buildings or bridges particularly when far away from the station being listened to.

IMPORTANT When receiving traffic information, the volume may be higher than normal.

WARNING

Too high a volume when dri-

ving can put the driver’s life at risk and that of other people. Therefore the volume should always be adjusted in such a way that it is always possible to hear the noises of the surrounding environment (e.g.: horns, ambulance, police sirens, etc.).

DISC PLAYER

❒

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;

❒

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.

To remove a Compact Disc from its container, press the centre and raise the disc carefully, holding it by the outer circumference.

Always hold Compact Discs by the outer circumference. Never touch the surface.

To remove fingerprints and dust, use a soft cloth starting from the centre of the Compact Disc outwards.

Do not use highly scratched, cracked, or distorted discs, etc. The use of these discs will involve malfunctioning or damage to the player.

For optimal playing use original CDs only. Regular operation is not guaranteed if using R/RW CDs not properly mastered and/or CDs with max. capacity higher than 650 MB.

IMPORTANT Do not use the protective sheets for CD in commerce or discs with stabilisers, etc. as they might get stuck in the internal mechanism and damage the disc.

IMPORTANT Should copy-protected CDs be used, then, few seconds may be required for playing them. Moreover, due to the proliferation of always new and different protection methods, it is not guaranteed that the CD player can play whatever protected disc. Copy protection is often indicated on the CD cover in small letters or hard to read characters. Usually it is indicated by writings like: “COPY CONTROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC”, or it is identified by symbols like:

Protected discs (and their cover) very often are not marked with the audio CD identification symbol:

IMPORTANT The CD player can read most of the compression systems currently on sale (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING, FRAUNHOFER) however, due to the evolution of these systems, reading of all compression formats is not guaranteed.

IMPORTANT When loading a multi-session CD, only the first session will be played.

AF SWITCHING function (alternative frequency search)

Within the RDS system the radio can work in two different modes:

❒

“AF ON”: alternative frequency search on (the display shows “AF”);

❒

“AF OFF”: alternative frequency search off.

With “AF ON”, the radio is automatically tuned to the station with the strongest signal that is broadcasting the same programme. During the journey it will thus be possible to continue listening to the station chosen without having to change the frequency when changing area.

Of course, the station being listened to must be receivable in the area the car is crossing.

To turn the AF function on/off press button MENU, select “AF SWITCHING” and then ON/OFF. If the AF function has been turned on the display shows “AF”.

If the radio is working in the AM band, when the AF function is activated, it passes to the FM1 band on the last station selected.

electronic control unit (Body Computer) installed on the car.

This system warrants the highest level of security and prevents entry of the secret code every time the radio supply is disconnected.

If the result of the check is positive, the set starts working, whereas if the com-

is replaced, the device informs the user of the need to enter the secret code according to the procedure described in the following paragraph.

PLAYER

MP3 CD

Entering the secret code

When turning the sound system on (in the event of code request), the display will show the word “CODE” for about 2 seconds, followed by four dashes “----”.

The secret code comprises four figures from 1 to 6, each corresponding to one of the dashes.

To enter the first digit of the code, press the corresponding key of the preset stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the other code digits in the same way.

If the four figures are not entered within 20 seconds, the display shows the word “CODE” for 2 seconds and then fours dashes “----”. This is not to be considered as an incorrect code entry.

After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds), the radio starts working.

If a wrong code is entered, the radio sounds a beep, the display shows the word “CODE” for 2 seconds and then fours dashes “----” to warn the user that it is necessary to enter the correct code.

Every time the user enters a wrong code, the waiting time increases gradually (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min,1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) until reaching a maximum of 24 hours. The waiting time will be shown on the display with the word “WAIT”. When this goes off it is possible to start the new code entry procedure.

Code Card

This the document that certifies possession of the radio. The Code Card contains the radio model, serial number and secret code.

IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card carefully to be able to give the related data to the competent authorities in the event of theft.

INTRODUCTION

This section only describes MP3 CD player operation variants: as concerns sound system operation, refer to section “FUNCTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS”.

NOTE MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson multimedia.

MP3 MODE

In addition to standard audio CDs, the sound system can also play audio files in MP3 format. Sound system will operate as described in the previous section (“Sound system with Compact Disc player”) when inserting a conventional audio CD.

For optimal playing use only top quality CDs mastered at a speed as low as possible.

MP3 CD files are structured by directories, with sequential lists of all directories containing MP3 tracks (directories and sub-directories are all brought to the same level), directories not containing MP3 tracks cannot be selected.

Technical data and operating conditions for MP3 files are as follows:

❒

adopted CD-ROM shall be mastered according to ISO9660 Standard;

❒

music files shall be renamed as “.mp3” otherwise they cannot be played;

❒

sampling frequencies are: 44.1 kHz, stereo (96 to 320 kbit/s) - 22.05 kHz, mono or stereo (32 to 80 kbit/s);

❒

it is possible to play variable bit-rate tracks (files).

IMPORTANT Characters: blank, ‘ (apostrophe), ( and ) (open and closed brackets) are not admitted in MP3 track names. When sampling MP3 CD you must not use these characters to name files otherwise the sound system will not be able to play it.

DISPLAY INFORMATION

ID3-TAG info display

In addition to time elapsed, directory name and file name, also ID3-TAG info relevant to track Title, Artist, Author (see section “MP3 DISPLAY FUNCTION”) are displayed.

The MP3 directory name shown on the display corresponds to the name with which the directory is stored on the CD, followed by an asterisk.
