INSTALLATION

Notes:

• Choose the mounting location where
the unit will not interfere with the
normal driving function of the driver.

• Before finally installing the unit,
connect the wiring temporarily and
make sure it is all connected up
properly and the unit and the system
work properly.

• Use only the parts included with the
unit to ensure proper installation.
The use of unauthorized parts can
cause malfunctions.

• Consult with your nearest dealer if
installation requires the drilling of holes
or other modifications of the vehicle.

• Install the unit where it does not get in
the driver’s way and cannot injure the
passenger if there is a sudden stop,
like an emergency stop.

• If installation angle exceeds 30˚ from
horizontal, the unit might not give its
optimum performance.

30˚

•Avoid installing the unit where it would
be subject to high temperature, such
as from direct sunlight, or from hot air,
from the heater, or where it would be
subject to dust, dirt or excessive
vibration.

DIN FRONT/REAR-MOUNT

This unit can be properly installed either
from “Front” (conventional DIN Front­mount) or “Rear” (DIN Rear-mount
installation, utilizing threaded screw holes
at the sides of the unit chassis).
For details, refer to the following
illustrated installation methods.

TAKE OUT SCREW BEFORE
INSTALLATION

Before install the unit, please remove the
two screws.

Take out screw before installation

DIN FRONT-MOUNT (Method A)

Installation Opening

This unit can be installed in any dashboard
having an opening as show below:

53 mm

182 mm

Installing the unit

Be sure you test all connections first, and
then follow these steps to install the unit.

1. Make sure the ignition is turned off,
and then disconnect the cable from
the vehicle battery's negative (-)
terminal.

2. Disconnect the wire harness and the
antenna.

3. Press the release button on the front
panel and remove the control panel
(see the steps of “using the detachable
front panel”).

4. Lift the top of the outer trim ring then
pull it out to remove it.

5. The two supplied keys release tabs
inside the unit's sleeve so you can
remove it. Insert the keys as far as they
will go (will the notches facing up) into
the appropriate slots at the middle left
and right sides of the unit. Then slide
the sleeve off the back of the unit.

(except REL button (7) and EJECT
button (4)). When system is on, press

PWR button (9) to turn off the unit.

FACEPLATE RELEASE

Press REL button (7) to detach the
removable faceplate.

SOUND ADJUSTMENT

Press SEL button (10) shortly to select

The adjustment mode will change in the
following order:

VOL BAS TRE BAL FAD

(Volume) (Bass) (Treble) (Balance) (Fader)

By pressing the AUDIO SELECT
button (11) or AUDIO SELECT
button (12), it is possible to adjust the
desired sound quality.
Press SEL Button (10) for several
seconds, it is activated as cyclical
mode of following functions for user’s
selection.

TA SEEK or ALARM PI SOUND or MUTE

MASK DPI or ALL RETUNE L or S

BEEP 2’nd, ALL or OFF

a) TA SEEK or TA ALARM

- TA SEEK mode:
When newly tuned station does not
receive TP information for several
seconds, the radio retunes to next
station which has not the same
station (PI) as the last station, but
has the TP information.
When TP information gets lost at
the current station for retune time
which is set by RETUNE SHORT
(30 sec.) or RETUNE LONG (90
sec.), the radio start to retune to
next same PI station.
When same PI station does not
catch in 1 cyclic search, the radio
retunes to next station with TP
information.

-TA ALARM mode:
When this mode is selected, any
automatic retune mode is not
activated. Only double beep sound
(ALARM) is output.
When newly tuned station does not
have TP information for several
seconds, beeps come out.
When TP information gets lost at
the current station for retune time,
the beep sound is out-putted.
When newly tuned station has not
RDS signal, “PI SEEK” is
suppressed somewhat.

b) PI SOUND or PI MUTE

While AF switching is implemented
in C201 station, AF can switch to
100 MHz, which is non genuine AF
(where, different PI with same AF) in
short “DIP”.
If a car cruises that critical area back
and forth, an oscillation
phenomenon can be occurred,
because the different PI code can
be received from 100 MHz with
“XXX” PI.
The car radio has special procedure
to reduce even this kind of
unavoidable situation however there
is a limit to be escaped from this
serious case perfectly.
In that serious case, 2 mode is
selectable as follows:

98

100

90

PI : C201 PI : XXX

- PI SOUND mode:
When above different PI sound
(DIP) is heard once in a while, the
DIP’s sound will be heard for a
short time.

- PI MUTE mode:
Under above same situation, a
mute sound will be heard for a
short time.

GB-9

100

OPERATION

c) RETUNE L, RETUNE S mode

The initial time of automatic TA
search or PI search mode is selected.
When PI information is not caught for
retune time, the radio start to retune
to next same PI station. When same
PI station does not catch 1 cyclic
search, the radio goes to last station
and waits for several minutes until PI
code is received.

- RETUNE L mode:
Selected as 90 seconds.

- RETUNE S mode:
Selected as 30 seconds.

d) MASK DPI or MASK ALL mode

The AF frequency (which has
different PI or NO R.D.S. signal with
high field strength) is masked during
checking PI when the unit searches
AF. The unit doesn’t search this AF
(DIP) for few minutes. In the case
of the AF of NO R.D.S. signal with
high field strength, if the real AF is
wrongly masked as DIP by some
interference, the unit hesitates to
search real Afs. For this reason, the
unit has the user option (MASK DPI)
which doesn’t mask the AF of NO
R.D.S. signal with high field strength.
In MASK DPI mode, the wrong
sound or long mute (according to PI
SOUND or PI MUTE) can be heard
from the AF station which has NO
R.D.S. signal and of which the field
strength is higher than that of the
currently tuning AF (station).
But, these phenomenon are rare
and the user will hardly hear the
wrong sound in whole Europe.

- MASK DPI mode:
Masked only the AF which has
different PI.

- MASK ALL mode:
Masked the AF which has
different PI and NO R.D.S. signal
with high field strength.

e) BEEP 2’ND, BEEP ALL, BEEP OFF

mode
The situation of beep sound is
selected. The 3 mode is selected as
also pressng AUDIO SELECT
button (11) or AUDIO SELECT
button (12).

- BEEP 2’nd mode:
The beep is only generated when
all allowed double key is pressed
long (1 sec).
e.g.
When preset button (14) is
pressed.
When BND/LOU button (13) is
pressed.
When AMS button (18) is pressed.

- BEEP ALL mode:
The beep is generated when
every key is pressed.

- BEEP OFF mode:
The beep is disabled.

LOUDNESS

Press BND/LOU button (13) for several
seconds to reinforce the bass output.
Press it for several seconds again to

tracks and MP3 files).

the CD slot, it starts to play the CD audio
tracks. And the operation is the same

search the disc over again and start to
play the MP3 files. And the operation is
the same with the MP3 operation
described as above.
If you want to revert to play CD audio
tracks, press M5 button or M6 button
repeatedly, when it jumps to the end (i.e.
when it selects the first directory or the
last directory), it will start to play the CD
tracks again.
In this way, you can switch between
playing CD audio tracks or MP3 songs
repeatedly.
