Please keep in mind that you travel a dis-
tance of 14 m per second at a speed of only
50 km/h.
Should the traffic situation become particu-
larly demanding, we advise you not to use
the radio.
Always make sure that you are still able to
hear any warning signals coming from out-
side of the vehicle, such as police or fire
engine sirens, so that you can react accord-
ingly.
Therefore, you should always select a mod-
eratevolume forplaying your car radio while
you are driving.
Installation
If you would like to install your new car ster-
eo yourself or add other audio components
to existing ones, then please read carefully
the enclosed instructions on installation and
connection.
Inorder to ensurethat the set operatesprop-
erly it is necessary that the positive power
supply line is connected to the ignition and
the permanent +12 V lead.
Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!

switching on the radio or recalling one of the
stored frequencies, the unit is automatically
searching for an alternative frequency.
“SEARCH”will disappear from the display
when the alternative frequency has been
found or after the frequency band has been
run through completely.
If the reception quality of the selected pro-
gramme becomes too bad:
•Tune into another station.
REG - regional programme
Certain radio programmes are split up at
times into regional programmes offering lo-
cal information. The 1st programme broad-
cast by NDR, for example, offers pro-
grammeswith different contents inthe north-
ern states of Germany Schleswig-Holstein,
Hamburgand Lower Saxonyat certain times
of the day.
If you are listening to one regional pro-
gramme and move to an area where anoth-
er linked regional programme becomes
stronger, the unit will switch to that pro-
gramme.
If you wish to continue listening to the first
programme,
•press the AF button for approximately
1 sec.
“REG ON”appears in the display.
If you leave the service area of the regional
programme tuned into, or if you would like
to take advantage of the full RDS service,
switch to “REG OFF”.
•Press the AF button for approximately
1 sec. until “REG OFF”appears.
If the REG function is active, “REG ON”will
be briefly displayed each time the radio is
switched on.
Selecting a waveband

Cannes RCM 127, Woodstock DJ A)
You can select between the following wave-
bands:
FM 87.5 - 108 MHz
MW 531 - 1602 kHz
LW 153 - 279 kHz
•Press the BND button until the desired
waveband shows on the display panel.
Note:
In the DSC menu you can deactivate the
station selection on either MW or LW or for
both wavebands at the same time.
This has the advantage that only the re-
quired bands will allow to be activated, so
that you must press the BND button less
often. For more information, please refer to
chapter “DSC programming - AM ON/OFF”.
Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System offers you more
conveniencewhen listeningto FMradio sta-
tions.
More and more radio stations have begun
to broadcast RDS information alongside
their programmes.
As soon as a programme has been identi-
fied, the station name including a regional
identifier,if applicable,will appearin thedis-
play,for example, NDR1 NDS (regional pro-
gramme in Lower Saxony, Germany).
When RDS is activated, the preset buttons
becomeprogramme buttons. You now know
exactly which programme you have tuned
into, making it easy to find the desired sta-
tion quickly.
But RDS offers you further advantages:
AF - Alternative frequency
The AF (Alternative Frequency) function
makes sure that the strongest frequency of
the currently selected programme is always
tuned in automatically.
Thisfunction is activatedwhen “AF”appears
in the display.
In order to switch this function on or off,
•press the AF button briefly.
While searching for the strongest reception

PTY priority
Situation:
PTY is switched on and lights up in the dis-
play.
No station offering the selected programme
type can be currently received (neither with
seek tuning nor with scan).
The set will switch back to the previous sta-
tion.
Assoon as a programme with such PTY can
bereceived within the broadcastingnetwork,
the unit will switch over to the correspond-
ing station for the duration of the pro-
gramme.
Example: German broadcasting network
NDR:
- Station tuned in: NDR3.
-“PTY”lights up in the display.
- Programme type “POP”selected.
- Seek tuning is started.
- No station with “PTY-POP”can be
found.
- The display shows “NO PTY”and
- automatically switches back to NDR3.
- NDR2 airs a “PTY-POP”programme.
- The system will switch to the linked
NDR2 station for the duration of the
“POP”programme.
Storing programme types
At the factory, one programme type was
assigned to each of the preset buttons 1-6.
If desired, you can also store other availa-
ble programme types.
To do so, make sure that “PTY”lights up in
the display.
•If necessary, press the PTY button to
switch on the function.
•Select a programme type using but-
tons << >> and
•hold down the desired preset button
(1-6) until you hear a beep.
Now the selected programme type can be
recalledby pressingthis preset. For this, the
PTY function must be active.
Scanning stations with PTY-SCAN
Condition:“PTY”must appear in the display.
•Press the SC button.
All of the received stations offering the se-
lected programme type will be scanned.
To switch off PTY-SCAN:
•Press SC once again.
During tape operation, the set will also au-
tomatically switch to the programme offer-

Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON
Traffic announcement priority
on/off
If the priority for traffic announcement pro-
grammes is activated, “TA”will light up in
the display.
To switch the priority on or off:
•Press the TA button.
When pressing TA while a message is be-
ing broadcast, this message will be inter-
rupted. The unit will then switch back to the
previous condition. The priority for all other
traffic messages remains active.
Please note that several buttons have no
function while a traffic announcement is
broadcast.
Beep tone
If you leave the reception area of the traffic
programme station currently tuned into, you
will hear a beep tone approximately every
30 seconds.
This tone will also be released when press-
ing a preset button which has no traffic pro-
gramme allocated to it.
Switching off the beep tone
a) Tune into another station offering traf-
fic information:
•Press the rocker switch or
•press a preset button which has a
traffic programme station allocated
to it.
Alternatively:
b) Switch off the priority for traffic an-
nouncements:
•Press TA.
“TA”will disappear from the display.
Automatic seek tuning start
(tape and CD changer operation)
Whenleavingthe reception area ofthetuned
in traffic programme station while listening
to a tape or CD, the system will automati-
cally start searching for a new TA pro-
gramme.
If no such station is found within approxi-
mately 30 seconds, you will hear a warning
beep every 30 seconds. To switch off the
beep tone proceed as described above.
The abbreviation “EON”stands for En-
hanced Other Networks, meaning the ex-
changeofinformation within aradionetwork.
Many FM broadcasters offer traffic messag-
es for their service area at regular intervals.
All traffic programme stations transmit a
special carrier signal alongside their pro-
grammes, which is decoded by your car ra-
dio. If this signal is identified, “TP”will ap-
pear in the display (Traffic Programme).
In addition to these, there are also stations
which do not actually transmit traffic pro-
grammes themselves, but by using RDS-
EON they offer the possibility to receive the
traffic messages broadcast by another traf-
fic programme station in the same radio
network.
If you wish to have the priority for traffic an-
nouncements activated while listening to
oneof these stations(e.g. NDR3), “TA”must
appear on the display panel.
If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the
radio will automatically switch to the linked
traffic programme station (in this case,
NDR2) for the duration of the message and
return to the original programme (NDR3)
afterwards.

Care notes
Toavoid possible problems, we recommend
you to use C-60/C-90 type cassette tapes
only. Store your tapes in a cool place away
from dirt, dust and temperatures exceeding
50 °Celsius. Allow very cold tapes to warm
up before playing them in order to avoid
uneven tape transport. After approximately
100 hours of use, dust particles collected
on the playback head or roller may lead to
tape run problems and sound distortions.
Use a head cleaning tape to remove nor-
mal dirt build-up. For tougher cases, use a
cotton swab (Q-Tip) dipped in alcohol. Do
not attempt to clean by inserting a hard ob-
ject into the player!
