browsing music content is not possible.

In this manual the following conventions describe
the buttons of your car entertainment system:
•Next/Back: Next and Previous track
•FF/REW: Fast Forward and Rewind
•CD1, CD2…: CD selection
•Random: Random, Mix or Shuffle
Please refer to the manual of your car audio
system for specific details of operation.
Gateway Lite needs to be installed and
configured correctly for your vehicle. For
assistance with installation, please refer to the
Installation Guide.
General
Switch on your car radio and select CD changer
as source.
This is usually done by pressing the CDC button,
or pressing the CD button twice. If in doubt
consult the audio section of your car’s instruction
manual.
Music will now play from your iPod or USB from
the point they last played. If both are connected,
the one that was used last will continue.
Switching off the car or the radio will stop
playback and put the source devices to stand-by.
If neither the iPod nor USB storage is connected,
than CD1/Track99 is displayed, and the time
counter is just counting up.
Next/Back, FF/REW and Random/Repeat/Scan
buttons work as expected.
iPod
The original user interface of the iPod remains
active (i.e. the click wheel still works) so you can
use it for browsing as normal. The CD buttons
have no effect on the iPod.
During playback the Radio displays CD1. The
shown track numbers and time counter are not
synchronized with the iPod.
Dension also offers an optional dash-mount
cradle to dock your iPod safely (not included).
The iPod is charged while connected to Gateway
Lite.
2 Operation1 Introduction

USB
When the USB storage is inserted the first time,
the Gateway will start Play_All on the whole
content.
You can choose Playlists or Folders stored in the
root directory by using the CD selection buttons.
Playlists and Folders are linked to the CD#
buttons: first playlist assigned in alphabetical
order, then folders follow similarly. E.g. CD1 is
assigned to the first playlist, CD2 to the second,
and so on.
During playback the Radio displays CD and
Track numbers and the elapsed time of the actual
song.
Tips and Tricks:
•You can easily define how the CD selection
buttons get assigned by naming the Folders or
Playlists as: 1-Rock, 2-Blues, 3-Latin, etc.
•If you want to listen to the whole content of a
USB storage again in Play_All mode, just remove
it during playback, and re-insert it after a few
seconds. Play_All will start again.
Alternatively you may also create a playlist with
all songs, and start it with a CD# button.
