This security system relies on an unique PIN code to enable operation of your radio. The number only needs to be entered if the car's battery has been disconnected or if the radio has been removed from the car. If an incorrect PIN code is entered, the radio will not operate, and there will be a time delay before the PIN code can be re-entered. [. . . ] It is of great benefit when away from the home location, as the strongest radio stations can be stored without knowing their frequency, and does not delete the stations already stored on FM1, FM2 or AM bands. Storing a Radio Station into a Preset 1. Tune to the desired station by means of: · Automatic seek tuning or · Manual tuning P4 AS 103. 7 Station on FM AS Stored on Preset 4 6 You can also store stations manually on the AS storage locations (see 'Storing a Radio Station into a Preset' elsewhere in this handbook). Range: AM broadcasts tend to follow the earth's curvature and also reflect from the upper atmosphere, in which enables long range reception, especially after sunset. FM transmissions are basically line-of-sight (similar to TV signals) and are reflected by buildings, mountains etc. , but not by the upper atmosphere. Interference: Interference is caused by either natural or man made electrical disturbances. Circuitry has also been included in this radio to reduce this type of distortion. Recalling Stored Stations Select waveband AM or FM with the button AM/FM 9. To select one of the stations stored with Auto-Store, select waveband AM or FM, then briefly press AS button 8 and press the desired preset button. Radio Reception Due to varying reception locations, car radios have performance limitations that may on occasions create the impression that your radio is malfunctioning. To assist you in understanding what can be expected from your radio, we have set out below how reception may vary from time to time and under certain conditions. AM or Amplitude Modulation in which the amplitude of the signal is varied to produce the sound and FM or Frequency Modulation in which the frequency is varied to produce the sound. 7 To reduce the effects of interference and/or poor signal strength, several features have been included within the radio which work automatically when needed: · Noise Blanking Circuit (FM interference suppression) - To reduce pulse interference, a Noise Blanking Circuit is included. · Soft Muting Circuit - The built-in Soft Muting Circuit will reduce the FM stereo separation and treble response if the signal from the radio station diminishes. This effectively lessens the amount of hiss and background noise that is usually heard with weaker FM signals. · Multipath Detection Circuit - If repeated multipath signals are received, the circuitry will switch the radio into MONO mode and slightly reduce the treble response. It will gradually return to STEREO with full treble response when multipath conditions are no longer being experienced. CD Operation CD Loading Ensure that the CD entry slot 6 is clear. Insert the CD (lettered side up) into the slot until the CD is automatically received and taken. After the CD has been accepted, the player begins with the first track on the CD. Initially the total number of tracks on the CD is shown as 'TxxCD' followed by: TRACK DISC IN CD Pausing Pressing the CD button 2 while playing a disc will pause the CD. The display will show: PAUSE To resume the playing of the CD press button 2 again. Track Selection You can select a desired track on a CD by briefly pressing button ; <TUNE/TRACK> Press button TRACK> ; to go on the next track or press repeatedly until desired track appears in the display. Press button <TRACK ; to go back to the start of the current track or press repeatedly until desired track appears in the display. If the track has been playing for less than 3 seconds and button <TRACK ; is pressed, the previous track will be played. If you press button <TRACK ; after the first 3 seconds, the current track is restarted. 01 CD After the last track has been played, playback of the CD begins again, starting with the first track. If the CD has been inserted incorrectly, the display will show 'CD ERROR'. Please note: It is possible to insert and load a CD while the car's ignition is turned off. Playback will commence immediately after the CD is loaded. Fast Forward / Fast Back (Track Cue/Review) Press button ; <TUNE/TRACK> for more than 2 seconds to rapidly move forward or backwards within the current track. [. . . ] You can select the compensation curves between 0 (off) and 5 (maximum compensation) as follows: 1. Press button LOC 7 for at least 3 seconds until you hear a confirmation beep (no beep if 'BEEP OFF' previously set). Press tuning buttons (;) within 8 seconds to select the desired setting between 'SD-VOL 0' and 'SD-VOL 5'. To store the selected setting, press button LOC 7 again for at least 3 seconds until you hear a confirmation beep (no beep if 'BEEP OFF' previously set). SD-VOL 2 Display during setting for speed dependent volume control. [. . . ]
