IMPORTANTAUDIOINFORMATION

WARNINGSDue to technical incompatibility,recordable (CD-R) and rewritable(CD-RW) discs may not function

correctly.

These CD radio units will playcompact discs that conform to theInternational Red Book standard

audio specification. Copy protected CDsfromsomemanufacturersdonot conformto this standard and playback cannot beguaranteed.

Dual format, dual sided discs (DVDPlus, CD-DVD format), adopted bythe music industry, are thicker than

normal CDs and consequently playbackcannot be guaranteed in Ford and SonyCDaudio units, and jamming could occur.Irregular shaped CDs and CDs with ascratch protection film or self adhesivelabels attached should not be used.Warranty claims, where this type of discis found to be inside an audio unit returnedfor repair, will not be accepted.

All CDunits except SonyCD (but notthe 6CD) are designed to playcommercially pressed 12 cm audio

compact discs only. The Sony CD unit willplay 8 cm discs with a Sony approvedadaptor fitted (CSA-8).

The audio unit may be damaged ifunsuitable items like credit cards orcoins are pushed inside the CD

Note: TheAutoStorewaveband can alsobe used to store stations manually in thesame way as other wavebands.

TRAFFIC INFORMATIONCONTROL

Many stations broadcast on the FMwaveband have a TP code to signify thatthey carry traffic programme information.

Activating trafficannouncements

Before you can receive trafficannouncements, you must press the TAbutton. A 'TA-D' or 'TA-L' display willappear to show the feature is switchedon.

If you are already tuned to a station thatbroadcasts traffic information, ‘TP’will alsobe displayed. Otherwise the unit willsearch for a traffic programmeanddisplay‘TP SEEK’ while doing so. If it cannotlocate such a station, ‘Not Found’ will bedisplayed.

‘TP’ appears within a box when you aretuned to a station providing traffic from alinked radio data system (RDS) orenhanced other network (EON) station.

When traffic information is broadcast, itwill automatically interrupt normal radio,tape or CD playback and ‘TRAFFIC’ or‘NEWS’ will appear in the display.

If the traffic signal weakens, ‘TP’ will flashin the display. Press the left or right arrowbutton to find another station.

Note: If this happens during tape or CDplayback or, on certain models, with theradio volume set to zero, the unit willretune automatically to another trafficstation.

If a non-traffic station is selected orrecalled using a preset button, the audiounit will remain on that station unless:

• TA is turned off, then on again.

• Oncertainmodels, the volumecontrolis set to zero for four minutes afterwhich the audio unit will retune toanother traffic station.

REGIONALMODE (REG)

Regional mode (REG) controls thebehaviour of AF switching betweenregionally related networks of a parentbroadcaster. A broadcaster may run afairly large network across a large part ofthe country. At various times of the daythis large network may be broken downinto a number of smaller regionalnetworks, typically centred on majortowns or cities. When the network is notsplit into regional variants, the wholenetwork caries the same programming.

Regional mode ON: This prevents'random' AF switcheswhen neighbouringregional networks are not carrying thesame programming.

Regional mode OFF: This allows a largercoverage area if neighbouring regionalnetworks are carrying the sameprogramming, but can cause 'random'AF switches if they are not.

Sony andDAB

• Press the MENU button briefly.

• Use the up or down arrow buttonsuntil 'REGIONAL' is displayed.

• Use the left or right arrow buttons toturn the function on or off.

ALTERNATIVEFREQUENCIES

Many programmes broadcast on the FMwaveband have a programmeidentification (PI) code, which can berecognised by audio units.

If your radio has alternative frequencies(AF) tuning switched on and you movefrom one transmission area to another,this facility will search for and switch to astronger station signal, if one can befound.

Under certain conditions, however, AFtuning may temporarily disrupt normalreception.

With ‘AF-ON’ or ‘AF-AUTO’ selected, theunit continually evaluates signal strengthand, if a better signal becomes available,the unit will switch to that alternative. Itmutes while it checks a list of alternativefrequencies and, if necessary, it will searchonce across the selected waveband fora genuine alternative frequency.

It will restore radio reception when it findsone or, if one is not found, the unit willreturn to the original stored frequency. Oncertain units, ‘Not Found’will be displayed.

With ‘AF-MAN’ selected, the unit operatesin a similar way to ‘AF-AUTO’ or ‘AF-ON’,but only searches for an alternativefrequency when prompted by pressing apreset button.

With ‘AF-OFF’ selected, the original storedfrequency remains selected. In thismode,‘AF-OFF’ will be displayed every time theunit is turned on.

Sony andDAB

• Press the MENU button and use theup or down arrow button to select an‘AF’ display.



Except Sony andDAB


• Press the MENU button repeatedlyuntil an ‘AF’ display appears.


NEWSBROADCASTS

Some audio units interrupt normalreception to broadcast news bulletinsfrom stations on the FM waveband orradio data system (RDS) and enhancedother network (EON) linked stations, inthe same way as traffic information isprovided.

During news broadcasts, the displayalternates between the station nameand‘NEWS’. News interrupts are broadcastat the same preset volume level as trafficannouncements.

MP3FILE PLAYBACK

MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is astandard technology and format forcompressing audio data. This allows amore efficient use of the media.

You can play MP3 files recorded onCD-ROMs,CD-Rs, andCD-RWs. Thediscmust be in the ISO 9660 level 1 or level 2format, or Joliet or Romeo in theexpansion format. You can also use a discrecorded in Multi Session.

ISO9660 format

This is the most common internationalstandard for the logical format of files andfolders on a CD-ROM.

There are several specification levels. InLevel 1, file names must be in the 8.3format (no more than 8 characters in thename, no more than 3 characters in theextension “.MP3”) and in capital letters.

Folder names can be no longer than 8characters. There can be no more than8 folder levels (trees). Level 2specifications allow file names up to 31characters long.

Each folder can have up to 8 trees.

For Joliet or Romeo in the expansionformat, please consider these restrictionswhen configuring your CD writingsoftware.

Multi session

This is a recording method that enablesadding of data using the Track-At-Oncemethod.

Conventional CDs begin at a CD controlarea called the Lead-in and end at an areacalled Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is aCD having multiple sessions, with eachsegment from Lead-in to Lead-outregarded as a single session.

• CD-Extra: The format that recordsaudio (audio CD data) as tracks onsession 1, and records data as trackson session 2.

• Mixed CD: In this format, data isrecorded as track 1, and audio (audioCD data) is recorded as track 2.

File formats

• With formats other than ISO9660 level1 and level 2, folder names or filenamesmaynot bedisplayedcorrectly.

• When naming, be sure to add the fileextension “.MP3” to the file name.

• If you put the extension “.MP3” to afile other than MP3, the unit cannotrecognize the file properly and willgenerate random noise that coulddamage your speakers.

• The following discs take a longer timeto start playback.• a disc recorded with complicated

tree structure.• a disc recorded in Multi Session.

• a non-finalised disc to which datacan be added.

Playing amulti session disc

When the first track of the firstsession is audioCDdata

• The displayed elapsed playing timewhen skipping a portion of ID3 tagver.2 is inaccurate. For MP3 files of abit rate other than 128 kbps, time isnot displayed accurately duringplayback.

• When anMP3 file is createdwithMP3conversion software (e.g.RealJukebox - a registered trademarkof RealNetworks Inc), ID3 ver.2 willautomatically be written.

MP3navigation

MP3 tracks may be recorded on the CDin several ways. They can all be placed inthe root directory like a conventional audioCD, or they can be placed in folders thatmay represent, for example, an album, anartist, or a genre.

Thenormal playing sequenceonCDswithmultiple folders is to play the tracks in thefirst folder, then the tracks in any folder(s)nested inside the first folder, then moveonto the second folder, and so forth.
