Operation while driving CD mode

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The requirements in today’s road traffic call for the full attention of the road users at any time.

The comprehensive and pretentious features of modern car radios offer a lot of information about traffic and road conditions besides an abundance of entertainment.

However, the radio system with its many functions should only be operated if the traffic situation allows for this.

For example, changing cassettes or reading a cassette label while driving has already often led to dangerous situations.

In addition, the volume of the radio system should always be adjusted so that you can still safely hear outside acoustic signals.

Caution Keep complete control of your vehicle at all times!

This car radio offers you the convenience of controlling the original Skoda CD changer or CD player.

Operation of these devices is described in their separate user manuals.

RADIO MODE

Page 12

When storing RDS stations you should press the corresponding station button only when the station name appears in the display. This ensures that all RDS information has been interpreted and stored automatically.

When calling up stored RDS stations, the corresponding station name is displayed. If the stored frequency is too weak for good reception, the radio searches automatically for an appropriate alternative frequency (best station function).

If non of the stored alternative frequencies is strong enough for good reception, the desired station cannot be received at the moment. In this case, tune to another station.

Please make sure that the station name is displayed when the station is stored. If a moving text should be displayed, this will be stored instead of the station name.

Information about How does RDS work? RDS stations

In many European countries, RDS is already transmitted by many radio stations. The goal is to provide an overall coverage.

With this system, an inaudible digitized data current is transmitted in addition to the normal FM radio signal, providing the RDS receiver with information in encoded form which controls, among other things, the following functions:

• Programme identification (PI code)

With the help of the PI code, the radio recognizes the currently received station.

• Programme service name (PS code)

The PS code transmits the station name which is shown in the display.

• Alternative frequencies (AF code)

Because of the limited transmission range of the FM waves, the programme of one radio provider is transmitted by several stations on different frequencies. The AF code informs the radio about all alternative frequencies of the same programme. This enables the radio to tune to the frequency which can be received in the best quality.

Tuning to another frequency is carried out in an inaudible way. The station name in the display remains unchanged.

While you are driving, the RDS radio searches permanently for alternative frequencies of the station selected and tunes to this in an automatic and nearly inaudible way.

• Traffic programme identification (TP code = Traffic programme)

This information tells the radio that it is currently receiving a traffic programme station.

RADIO MODE

Page 13

ßQ

– AIM button

Using the AIM function (Automatic Information Memory), you may store automatically up to 9 traffic announcements with a total length of 4 minutes with the help of the integrated digital voice memory.

Storing traffic announcements

There are 3 different possibilities of storing traffic announcements:

• When the radio is switched on, every traffic announcement of the station tuned to is stored as soon as the “TP” function has been selected ("TP" in the display).

ß?

– TP button

The TP standby mode allows you to hear only traffic announcements. Even if the volume is set to minimum, the traffic announcements are heard with the programmed volume – see also page 17. If the transmission range of the traffic station tuned to is left, the radio will start after about 30 seconds an automatic station search.

Interrupting a traffic announcement

You may wish to interrupt a traffic announcement in certain situations, for example – if the announcement does not concern

your route,

– if the announcement is very long and

the part concerning you is already completed.

Briefly press the TP button

ß?

while the

announcement you wish to abort is heard. The announcement will be aborted and the previous mode, for example radio reception, cassette or CD play, is continued. A new traffic announcement will be heard again.

To switch definitely off all traffic announcements, deselect the TP range.

The device is provided with an automatic tape type switch-over function. For optimum playback quality we recommend you to use “chromium dioxide” or “metal” cassettes. To ensure a troublefree operation, you should only use cassettes of wellknown manufacturers.

If distortions should occur when playing prerecorded cassettes, we recommend you to copy the recording on a cassette of a renowned make.

To prevent distortions due to the cassette itself, we recommend you to use cassettes with a playing time of max. 90 minutes (C-90 cassettes). C-60 cassettes are very appropriate.

You should not stick adhesive labels or additional labels on the cassette. During cassette mode, the cassette may get warm and the label detach causing malfunctions.

Tips to cassette mode Guarantee

Never expose cassettes for a long time to very low (below -10° C) or very high (above +50° C) temperatures inside the vehicle. Please consider that the temperature inside the vehicle may be considerably higher than outside the car.

Avoid exposure of the cassettes to direct sunlight. It is best to store the cassettes in their boxes or in the original cassette tray with reel lock available for most vehicles.

If the high frequencies should get lost after long operation (about 100 hrs. according to tape material), the sound head may be soiled by tape abrasion. In this case, clean the sound head using a wet cleaning cassette. Use only cleaning cassettes of a nenowned make and follow the user manual of the cassette manufacturer.

For our car radio systems apply the same guarantee conditions as for new vehicles.

A damage in the sense of the guarantee must not be caused by improper handling of the system or by inexpert attempts of repair. In additioin, no visible damages must exist.
