Audio introduction

IMPORTANT AUDIO

INFORMATION

WARNINGS

Due to technical incompatibility, recordable (CD-R) and rewritable

(CD-RW) discs may not function correctly.

These CD radio units will play compact discs that conform to the

International Red Book standard audio specification. Copy protected CDs from some manufacturers do not conform to this standard and playback cannot be guaranteed.

Dual format, dual sided discs (DVD

Plus, CD-DVD format), adopted by the music industry, are thicker than normal CDs and consequently playback cannot be guaranteed in Ford and Sony

CD audio units, and jamming could occur.

Irregular shaped CDs and CDs with a scratch protection film or self adhesive labels attached should not be used.

Warranty claims, where this type of disc is found to be inside an audio unit returned for repair, will not be accepted.

All CD units except Sony CD (but not the 6CD) are designed to play commercially pressed 12 cm audio compact discs only. The Sony CD unit will play 8 cm discs with a Sony approved adaptor fitted (CSA-8).

The audio unit may be damaged if unsuitable items like credit cards or coins are pushed inside the CD aperture.

Audio unit operation

WAVEBAND BUTTON

Press the AM/FM or RADIO button to select from the wavebands available.

The selector can also be used to return to radio reception when you have been listening to another source.

AUTOSTORE CONTROL

AutoStore can be used to store the stations with the strongest signals available, either from the FM waveband or from both AM and FM on Sony.

• Press and hold the AM/FM, AST or

RADIO button.

• The sound mutes and ‘AUTOSTORE’ display appears while the unit searches through the frequencies.

• When the search is complete, sound is restored and the strongest signals are stored on the AutoStore presets.

Note:

The AutoStore waveband can also be used to store stations manually in the same way as other wavebands.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION

CONTROL

Many stations broadcast on the FM waveband have a TP code to signify that they carry traffic programme information.

Activating traffic announcements

Before you can receive traffic announcements, you must press the TA button. A 'TA-D' or 'TA-L' display will appear to show the feature is switched on.

If you are already tuned to a station that broadcasts traffic information, ‘TP’ will also be displayed. Otherwise the unit will search for a traffic programme and display

‘TP SEEK’ while doing so. If it cannot locate such a station, ‘Not Found’ will be displayed.

‘TP’ appears within a box when you are tuned to a station providing traffic from a linked radio data system (RDS) or enhanced other network (EON) station.

When traffic information is broadcast, it will automatically interrupt normal radio, tape or CD playback and ‘TRAFFIC’ or

‘NEWS’ will appear in the display.

If the traffic signal weakens, ‘TP’ will flash in the display. Press the left or right arrow button to find another station.

Note:

If this happens during tape or CD playback or, on certain models, with the radio volume set to zero, the unit will retune automatically to another traffic station.

If a non-traffic station is selected or recalled using a preset button, the audio unit will remain on that station unless:

• TA is turned off, then on again.

• On certain models, the volume control is set to zero for four minutes after which the audio unit will retune to another traffic station.

Local or distant traffic

The number of RDS or EON traffic announcements may become excessive in some areas so there is an option to select between local traffic information and all available information.

Audio unit operation

Sony and DAB

• Press the MENU button and use the up or down arrow button to select the

TA display.

• Use the left or right arrow button to select the setting required.

• Press the MENU button to confirm your selection.

Except Sony and DAB

• Press and hold the MENU button until the display changes.

• Press the MENU button repeatedly until a TA display appears.

• Use the left or right arrow button to select either local (‘TA LOCAL’) or distant (‘TA DIST’) traffic announcements. To confirm your selection allow the menu to time out or press the MENU button.

• ‘TA-L or ‘TA-D’ appear in the display to show which has been selected.

Traffic announcement volume

Traffic announcements interrupt normal broadcasts at a preset minimum level that is usually louder than normal listening volumes.

To adjust the preset volume:

• Press and hold the TA button.

• Use the volume control or, on Sony and DAB units, the arrow buttons to make the necessary adjustment. The display will show the level selected.

Ending traffic announcements

The audio unit will return to normal operation at the end of each traffic announcement. To end the announcement prematurely, press TA during the announcement.

Note:

If you press TA at any other time it will switch all announcements off.

AUTOMATIC VOLUME

CONTROL

When available, automatic volume control

(AVC) adjusts the volume level to compensate for engine noise and road speed noise.

• Press the MENU button repeatedly until an AVC display appears.

• Use the left or right arrow button, to adjust the AVC setting.

• On Sony and DAB units, press the

MENU button briefly and use the up or down arrow button to select an

AVC display.

• Press the MENU button to confirm your selection or wait until the system times out.

AUDIO DISTORTION

REDUCTION (CLIP)

When available CLIP automatically detects sound distortion and reduces the unit’s volume level until the distortion has been eliminated. This means that whilst the display might change numerically when you raise the volume manually with the control, there may be no actual increase in sound.

• Press and hold the MENU button to reach the secondary MENU screen until the display changes. Then press the MENU button repeatedly until a

CLIP display appears.

• Use the left or right arrow button, to turn the function on or off.

• On Sony and DAB units, press the

MENU button briefly and use the up or down arrow button to select a CLIP display.

• Press the MENU button to confirm your selection or wait until the system times out.

REGIONAL MODE (REG)

Regional mode (REG) controls the behaviour of AF switching between regionally related networks of a parent broadcaster. A broadcaster may run a fairly large network across a large part of the country. At various times of the day this large network may be broken down into a number of smaller regional networks, typically centred on major towns or cities. When the network is not split into regional variants, the whole network caries the same programming.

Regional mode ON: This prevents

'random' AF switches when neighbouring regional networks are not carrying the same programming.

Regional mode OFF: This allows a larger coverage area if neighbouring regional networks are carrying the same programming, but can cause 'random'

AF switches if they are not.

Sony and DAB

• Press the MENU button briefly.

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

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

Audio unit menus

Except Sony and DAB

• Press and hold the MENU button until the display changes.

• Repeatedly press the MENU button until 'REG' is displayed.

• Use the arrow buttons to turn the function on or off.

ALTERNATIVE

FREQUENCIES

Many programmes broadcast on the FM waveband have a programme identification (PI) code, which can be recognised by audio units.

If your radio has alternative frequencies

(AF) tuning switched on and you move from one transmission area to another, this facility will search for and switch to a stronger station signal, if one can be found.

Under certain conditions, however, AF tuning may temporarily disrupt normal reception.

With ‘AF-ON’ or ‘AF-AUTO’ selected, the unit continually evaluates signal strength and, if a better signal becomes available, the unit will switch to that alternative. It mutes while it checks a list of alternative frequencies and, if necessary, it will search once across the selected waveband for a genuine alternative frequency.

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

With ‘AF-MAN’ selected, the unit operates in a similar way to ‘AF-AUTO’ or ‘AF-ON’, but only searches for an alternative frequency when prompted by pressing a preset button.

With ‘AF-OFF’ selected, the original stored frequency remains selected. In this mode,

‘AF-OFF’ will be displayed every time the unit is turned on.

Sony and DAB

• Press the MENU button and use the up or down arrow button to select an

‘AF’ display.

• Use the left or right arrow button to select the setting required.

• Press the MENU button to confirm your selection.

Except Sony and DAB

• Press and hold the MENU button until the display changes.

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

• Use the left or right arrow button to select the setting required.

NEWS BROADCASTS

Some audio units interrupt normal reception to broadcast news bulletins from stations on the FM waveband or radio data system (RDS) and enhanced other network (EON) linked stations, in the same way as traffic information is provided.

During news broadcasts, the display alternates between the station name and

‘NEWS’. News interrupts are broadcast at the same preset volume level as traffic announcements.

Sony and DAB

• Press the MENU button and use the up or down arrow button to select a

‘NEWS’ display.

• Use the left or right arrow button to select the setting required.

MP3 FILE PLAYBACK

MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard technology and format for compressing audio data. This allows a more efficient use of the media.

You can play MP3 files recorded on

CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. The disc must be in the ISO 9660 level 1 or level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format. You can also use a disc recorded in Multi Session.

ISO 9660 format

This is the most common international standard for the logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM.

There are several specification levels. In

Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3

format (no more than 8 characters in the name, no more than 3 characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital letters.

Folder names can be no longer than 8 characters. There can be no more than

8 folder levels (trees). Level 2 specifications allow file names up to 31 characters long.

Each folder can have up to 8 trees.

For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format, please consider these restrictions when configuring your CD writing software.

Multi session

This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method.

Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a

CD having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a single session.

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

• Mixed CD: In this format, data is recorded as track 1, and audio (audio

CD data) is recorded as track 2.

File formats

• With formats other than ISO 9660 level

1 and level 2, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.

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

• If you put the extension “.MP3” to a file other than MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random noise that could damage your speakers.

• The following discs take a longer time to start playback.

• a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.

• a disc recorded in Multi Session.

• a non-finalised disc to which data can be added.

Playing a multi session disc

When the first track of the first session is audio CD data

Only audio CD data of the first session is played back. Non-audio CD data/MP3 file information (track number, time, etc.) is displayed with no sound.

When the first track of the first session is not audio CD data

• If an MP3 file is in the disc, only MP3 file(s) play back and other data is skipped. (Audio CD data is not recognised.)

• If no MP3 file is in the disc, nothing is played back. (Audio CD data is not recognised.)

Compact disc player

MP3 files playback order

The playback order of the folders and files is as shown.

Note:

A folder that does not include an

MP3 file is skipped.

Playback tip: To specify a desired playback order, before the folder or file name, input the order by number (e.g.,

“01,” “02”), then record contents onto a disc. (The order differs depending on the writing software.)

E66143

ID3 Tag Version 2

The following occurs when an MP3 file containing ID3 tag ver.2 is played:

• When skipping a portion of ID3 tag ver.2 (at the beginning of the track), sound is not output. Skip time changes depending ID3 tag ver.2

capacity. Example: At 64 kbytes, it is about 2 seconds (with RealJukebox).

• The displayed elapsed playing time when skipping a portion of ID3 tag ver.2 is inaccurate. For MP3 files of a bit rate other than 128 kbps, time is not displayed accurately during playback.

• When an MP3 file is created with MP3 conversion software (e.g.

RealJukebox - a registered trademark of RealNetworks Inc), ID3 ver.2 will automatically be written.

MP3 navigation

MP3 tracks may be recorded on the CD in several ways. They can all be placed in the root directory like a conventional audio

CD, or they can be placed in folders that may represent, for example, an album, an artist, or a genre.

The normal playing sequence on CDs with multiple folders is to play the tracks in the first folder, then the tracks in any folder(s) nested inside the first folder, then move onto the second folder, and so forth. For example, if folder 1 has folders 1a and 1b within it, and folder 2 contains folder 2a, the playing sequence will be folder 1, 1a,

1b, 2, 2a.

• Press the up/down arrow buttons to select another folder.

• Press the left/right arrow buttons to select another track (file) within the folder.

Compact disc player

MP3 DISPLAY OPTIONS

When an MP3 disc is playing, certain information encoded in each track can be displayed. Such information will normally include:

• The file name

• The folder name

• ID3 information which might be the album or artist’s name

The unit will normally show the file name that is playing. To select one of the other items of information:

• Press the INFO button repeatedly until the display required is shown.

• If the ID3 information selected is unavailable, ‘NO MP3 TAG’ appears in the display.

CD text display options

When an audio disc with CD text is playing, limited information encoded in each track can be displayed. Such information will normally include:

• The disc name

• The artist name

• The track name

These display options are selected in the same way as MP3 displays. ‘NO DISC

NAME’ or ‘NO TRACK NAME’ appears if no information has been encoded.

ENDING COMPACT DISC

PLAYBACK

Auxiliary input (AUX IN) socket

AUXILIARY INPUT (AUX IN)

SOCKET

Note:

For optimum performance when using any auxilliary device set the volume on the device high. This will reduce audio interference when charging the device via the vehicle power supply socket.

When fitted the Auxiliary input (AUX IN) socket permits an auxiliary device, such as a MiniDisc or MP3 player, to be linked into the vehicle audio system. Output can be played through the vehicle speakers.

To connect an auxiliary device, plug it into the AUX IN socket using a 3.5 mm conventional audio jack connector.

Select the auxiliary input via the ‘AUX’ button and playback will be heard through the vehicle speakers. ‘AUX’ will appear in the vehicle audio unit display. Volume, treble and bass can be adjusted on the vehicle audio unit as normal.

The vehicle audio unit buttons can also be used to restore playback from the vehicle audio unit, while the auxiliary device remains connected.

Audio system care

AUDIO UNIT

Cassette care

The tape head in the cassette player needs to be cleaned regularly with a recommended ‘wet’ cleaning tape to maintain the best sound quality.

Use high quality cassettes to improve sound performance and take good care of them. Avoid those that:

• are old, worn out, or spliced.

• are damaged or have a peeling label.

• have a total playback time exceeding

100 minutes. These use thinner tape that increases the chance of tangling.

CD care

For best possible sound quality, use CDs that are clean and in good condition.
