Removable Front Panel

Theft Protection System

To prevent your car audio system from being stolen, it has been equipped with a removable front panel (flip release panel). Without the front panel, the car audio system is useless to thieves. Protect your car audio system against theft and take the operating panel with you each time you leave the vehicle. Never leave the release panel in the car, even if it is well hidden. The panel has been designed so that it is easy to remove.

Notes

• Do not drop the release panel.
• Do not expose the release panel to direct sunlight or other heat sources.
• Store the release panel in the case supplied.

Removing the Operating Panel

Press the [Unlock Release Panel Button] (1). The release panel will unlock. First pull the operating panel forward and then slide it to the left to remove it.

Notes on Replacement

When you remove the operating panel, the car audio system will automatically switch off. All of the settings will remain stored. A CD inserted into the car audio system will remain in place.

Replacing the Operating Panel

Slide the operating panel into the guides from left to right. Press the left-hand side of the panel onto the car audio system until it locks into place.

Note

While replacing the panel, be careful not to press on the display. If the car audio system was on when you removed the panel, it will automatically switch back on using the same settings when you replace it (radio, CD player or CD changer).

Switching the Car Audio System On/Off

The car audio system can be switched on/off in a number of ways.

The car audio system volume can be adjusted to levels from 0 (off) to 66 (maximum). To increase the volume, turn the [Volume Control Knob] (2) to the right. To decrease the volume, turn the [Volume Control Knob] (2) to the left.

Adjusting the Power-On Volume

It is possible to adjust the volume at which the car audio system switches on. Press the [MENU Button] (8). Press the [Cursor Down Button] (10) repeatedly until 'ON VOLUME' appears in the display. Press the [Cursor Left/Right Buttons] (10) to adjust the volume. If you adjust this setting to '0', the car audio system will switch on at the volume used before it was switched off.

Warning: If the power-on volume is set to the maximum level, it may be extremely loud when the car audio system is switched on. If the power-on volume is set to 0 and the car audio system was played at maximum volume before it was switched off, it may be extremely loud when the car audio system is switched back on. This could result in serious injury to your ears!

Once you have selected the desired settings, press the [MENU Button] (8) or [OK Button] (11).

Radio Operation

This car audio system has been equipped with an RDS radio receiver. Many FM radio stations now transmit the RDS signal, which contains such other information as the station name and the program type (PTY) along with the regular station programming. As soon as the car radio receiver detects the station name, it will appear in the display. It is also possible to display the program type. For more information, refer to the section on 'Program Type (PTY)'.

Switching to the Radio Mode

If you are currently using the CD player or CD changer, press the [CD-C Button] (16) repeatedly until 'RADIO' appears in the display.

Special RDS Functions (AF, REG)

The special RDS functions for AF (Alternate Frequency) and REG (REGional) improve the performance of your car radio. AF: If this RDS function is activated, the car radio continuously searches in the background for the frequency with the best reception for the station you have tuned into. REG: A number of radio stations broadcast different regional programming at different times of the day. Use REG to prevent your car radio from tuning into alternate frequencies which might have different programming.

Note

It is necessary to activate/deactivate REG in the menu.
