VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VID)

If an audio unit is stolen and then recovered,

it can be very difficult to trace the original owner.

Every vehicle has a unique Vehicle Identification

number. If this number has been entered, it

will help the police to match the audio unit

to its owner.

The number appears in the unit's display

whenever power is restored. For the location of

this number on your vehicle, please refer to

your Owner's Guide.

To view/alter an existing code number

Press and hold the MENU button for two

seconds, then press repeatedly until a display

like the one shown opposite appears. Then

enter your Keycode. (Refer to To enter a

Keycode page 3.)

The audio unit goes quiet and the display

shows a previously entered vehicle

identification number or, if a number has yet

to be entered, a flashing cursor is displayed.

Use the control to move across the display

and the volume control to change characters as

required. A total of 16 characters can be

displayed. When all the characters have been

selected, press MENU again to enter the

number. The unit then returns to normal

operation.

To enter a new code number

Press and hold the MENU button for two

seconds, then press repeatedly until a display

like the one shown opposite appears. Then

enter your Keycode. (Refer to To enter a

Keycode page 3.) A flashing cursor is displayed.

Use the control to move across the display,

and the volume control to select or change

display reverts to 'CODE' and another

entry attempt may be made.

•If 'WAIT 30' appears, wait until the time

counts down to zero. When 'CODE' is

displayed again, try to enter the Keycode.

•If 'LOCKED' appears, the unit is

permanentlyinoperative. Contact your

local dealer for help and advice.

Keycode warning light

As an additional deterrent to would-be

thieves, this audio unit is fitted with a

keycode warning light.

This warning light will only flash, however

if both the ignition and the audio unit are

switched off.

Care and maintenance

6 7

Radio reception

The following tips will help you gain the

best reception from your high quality

audio system.

To gain the best reception, always tune to the

strongest station signal available.

AM (MEDIUM/ LONG WAVE) RECEPTION

Under most conditions, strong MW and LW

signals provide stable sound quality and little

signal disturbance.

However, at night, atmospheric conditions

may sometimes lead to interference from

foreign stations.

FM RECEPTION

The FM waveband offers higher quality sound

reception, but signal strength can be subject to

interference caused by:

•The limited range of some transmitters.

•Reception distortion as signals reflect off

local buildings and other objects.

•Signal 'dead spots' where reception is

obstructed or restricted.

CASSETTES

The tape head in the cassette player needs to be

cleaned regularly. It only takes a few minutes and

perfect sound quality can be retained by using a

recommended 'wet' cleaning tape after every twenty

hours of playback.

It also pays to take good care of tape cassettes.

Direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, for

example, can distort a tape and may lead to trouble

when the cassette is inserted into a tape player.

The audio unit may also be damaged if 'foreign

bodies', unsuitable items like credit cards or coins,

are pushed inside the cassette aperture.

Finally, using a high quality tape cassette also helps

improve sound performance. Tapes to avoid include

those which are:

•Old and worn out.

•Spliced tapes.

•Cassettes with a total playback time of

over 100 minutes because thinner tape is

used in these and that increases the chance

of tangling.

•Cassettes which are damaged or have a

peeling label.

Care and maintenance

CDs

For best possible sound quality, use CDs that

are clean and in good condition and only use

standard 12cm circular compact discs. It also

pays to take good care of them.

•Direct sunlight or extreme temperatures,

for example, can distort a CD and may

lead to trouble when it is inserted into the

audio unit.

•When not in use, CDs should be returned

to their original pack and stored in a

suitable container.

•Always hold a CD by its edge or centre and

avoid touching the underside surface (usually

the side with no printing on it). Fingerprints

and scratches will impair sound quality and

may even prevent CD playback.

•The audio unit may also be damaged if

'foreign bodies', unsuitable items like

credit cards or coins, are pushed inside the

CD aperture.

RDS and RDS-EON

Audio units equipped with Radio Data System

(RDS) or Radio Data System - Enhanced Other

Network (RDS-EON) decoders pick up special

signals, transmitted on the FM waveband, when

tuned to some stations.

These provide additional features such as the

name of the radio station selected or traffic

information that automatically interrupts

normal broadcasts. However, certain features

may not be available from all radio stations.

RDS features

With the RDS function switched on, the

following features may be accessed.

(To select this feature, refer to page 22.)

Traffic Information (TA)

With this function selected, traffic information

broadcasts will automatically interrupt

normal radio, cassette or CD playback.

(To select this feature, refer to page 22.)

Alternative Frequencies (AF)

Some radio stations broadcast on different

frequencies in different parts of the country.

If a station's signal weakens the audio unit

retunes to a stronger alternative signal if

one exists.

During retuning, the audio unit checks a

programme identification (PI) code to ensure

that it is tuned to the same station and a

display like the one shown opposite appears.

(To select this feature, refer to page 24.)

RDS and RDS-EON

Station name displays

Audio units will display a selected radio

station's name, when the information is

broadcast using RDS.

Clock and date displays

Clock and date displays are also available

through RDS. These displays are

automatically updated and cannot be

manually changed or altered

When the unit is switched on, a series of

bars may appear until an RDS signal has

been received.

If an RDS signal has not been received, a

display like the one shown opposite appears.

(To select this feature, refer to page 25.)

Music/speech selection

With this feature activated and RDS on,

the audio unit automatically adjusts audio

settings to enhance speech clarity during

programme broadcasts.

(To select this feature, refer to page 25.)

RDS and RDS-EON

Programme type (PTY) selection

Some FM stations transmit programme type

codes which the audio unit can use to locate

different stations transmitting programmes

of a certain type.

The following programme types may be

identified:

NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFO, SPORT, EDUCATE,

DRAMA, CULTURE, SCIENCE, VARIED, POP

M, ROCK M, EASY M, M. O. R. M, LIGHT M,

CLASSICS, OTHER M, WEATHER, FINANCE,

CHILDREN, SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN,

TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ, COUNTRY, NATION

M, OLDIES, FOLK M, DOCUMENT, NONE.

Radio stations can also transmit emergency

information ALARM. However, this programme

type cannot be selected manually

(To select this function, refer to page 25.)

RDS and RDS-EON

In addition to the features described previously

this audio unit also provides the following

RDS-EON features:

Traffic information

RDS-EON connects certain radio stations so

that traffic information broadcast from one may

be received while listening to another. Stations

identified by ' TP ' will only receive traffic

announcements from other linked stations.

If, due to reception difficulties, traffic

information is not received, the audio unit

mutes and 'NO INFO' is displayed briefly

Local or distant traffic announcements

Because the number of traffic announcements

may become excessive in some areas, it is

possible to select local traffic information

('TA-LOCAL') or traffic information from

further away ('TA-DIST')

(To select this feature, refer to page 23.)

Station presets

When driving to another part of the country

some RDS-EON stations stored on preset

buttons are updated with the correct frequency

for that area.
