[. . . ] The sound 7 bed_anl_SkodaMelody_gb. qxd 21. 01. 2004 10:47 Uhr Seite 8 Radio RDS Functions RDS (Radio Data System) enables displaying the name of the currently received station . While on the road, RDS automatically searches for and tunes in alternate frequencies, if the reception of the selected station becomes weaker, in order to guarantee the best possible reception within the region of the station, even under difficult conditions . If the stored frequency cannot be received, the radio will automatically select an alternate frequency (best station function) of the same station. This starts the cassette mode, which is indicated in the display by TAPE PLAY and the corresponding tape direction FOR or REV. Fast forward and reverse While the cassette is being played, press the button (fast reverse) or (fast forward) to wind the tape correspondingly. Fast forward or reverse is indicated in the display by WIND and the corresponding direction FOR or REV. Depending on the settings of the setup menu (RM), during fast forward or reverse the unit switches to the radio mode or is muted. At the end of the tape, the fast forward or reverse winding is stopped automatically and playback of the tape is resumed. To cancel fast forward or reverse winding manually, press the button CC. Switching to radio mode Press the A/P or TP to switch from cassette to radio mode. Restart cassette playback by briefly pressing the CC. Autoreverse function Thanks to the autoreverse function there is no need to turn the cassette over when the end of the tape is reached. The cassette drive detects the end of the tape and automatically reverses the direction. To change the direction of play manually, briefly press the button . Ejecting the cassette To eject the cassette while the unit is in cassette mode, press the button , keeping it depressed for a few seconds. The cassette is ejected and the unit switched to the radio mode. 9 bed_anl_SkodaMelody_gb. qxd 21. 01. 2004 10:47 Uhr Seite 10 Cassette Deck Traffic announcements Tips on cassette use Cleaning the magnetic head · Do not expose cassettes for longer periods of time to extremely low temperatures (below -10°C) or high temperatures (above +50°C). · Keep in mind that, in sunny weather, temperatures inside the car may be considerably higher than those outside the car. On the one hand, this protects them against dust and, on the other hand, it prevents "binding" of the tape caused by the vibrations of the moving car, thus preventing disturbances during playback. We also recommend the use of original cassette storage systems with spool arresting devices, which are available for most car models. Cassette mode and traffic announcements If the radio was in TP mode prior to insertion of the cassette, the cassette playback is temporarily interrupted and the unit switched to the radio mode for the duration of traffic announcements. After the traffic announcement, the unit automatically resumes playback of the cassette. Cleaning the magnetic head Should the playback start to sound dull after a prolonged period of use, this is probably due to tape abrasion accumulated on the magnetic head. The accumulation of dirt on the magnetic head can be removed by using a wet cleaning cassette. Use only cleaning cassettes by reputable manufacturers and observe the instructions for use supplied by the cassette manufacturer. We recommend cleaning of the magnetic head after every 100 hours of operation. Depending on the kind of cassettes used, cleaning of the magnetic head may be necessary in shorter intervals. Tips on cassette use · For the best possible playback results, we recommend the use of chrome dioxide or metal cassettes with a maximum running time of 90 minutes (C90) or less (C60). Owing to heat during cassette operation these stickers may come loose and impair the operation of the cassette drive. 10 bed_anl_SkodaMelody_gb. qxd 21. 01. 2004 10:47 Uhr Seite 11 Setup Menu 5 The following functions can be set in the setup menu: · GALA · ON VOL · TA VOL speed-controlled volume adjustment maximum switchon volume minimum volume for traffic announcements volume for mobile phone volume for exter nal audio source 1 AUDIO GB 6 · Access the setup menu by pressing the button TP , keeping it depressed for a few seconds.

Comfort Radio Code When the radio is switched on for the first time after installation, the comfort radio code feature stores the code number not only in the radio, but also in the electronic system of the car. Should the power supply of the car be interrupted and reconnected, the radio compares the internal number with the number stored in the car. If these numbers match, the radio is immediately ready for operation. [. . . ]
