The Aux-in allows you to connect external music sources (with RCA outputs).

This means that you can connect your MP3 player or PDA, for example.

The Hard Wired Remote input allows you to connect the receiver directly to your car’s own steering wheel remote control.

You can then control your receiver with the steering wheel remote control.

RCA pre-outs enable you to easily expand your sound system.

You can significantly improve your in-car sound quality by connecting extra amplifiers to your headunit, for example.

You could customize your sound system with separate amplifiers for the front speakers, the rear speakers and a subwoofer.

The RCA pre-outs let you create the exact sound you want, with the focus on complete flexibility.

Radio Data System (RDS) is a system for providing information along with FM broadcasts.

This inaudible information provides such features as program service name, program type, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tuning, and is intended to aid you in finding and tuning in to a desired station.

Note:

• RDS service may not be provided by all stations.
• RDS functions like AF (alternative frequencies search) and TA (traffic announcement standby) are only available when your radio is tuned in to an RDS station.

The Traffic Announcement (TA) feature lets you receive traffic announcements automatically, no matter what source you are listening to.

For example, if you are listening to an mp3, and a live traffic announcement is being broadcast on a particular radio station, TA will automatically detect the announcement, mute your mp3 and broadcast the announcement as it is being made.

Best Stations Memory scans and memorises the six strongest, clearest stations available on each band.

Auto Alternative Frequency Search occurs when the tuner cannot get a good reception, and automatically searches for a different radio station in the same network.

Auto / Manual Frequency Search enables you to search for broadcast stations manually or automatically.

The tuner will scan the frequencies until a broadcast strong enough for good reception is found.

A PTY search is performed by program type as indicated in the PTY list (the program types are: News&Inf, Popular, Classics, Others). PTY also provides automatic tuning to emergency broadcasts (PTY alarm).

Use the CD Text feature to view text information from a music CD.

By pushing the display key, you can scroll between disc titles, track titles and artist name.
