For the clock to function properly with RDS, an RDS station with the CT function (CT ­ clock time) must be within reception range. The automatic correction of the hours can be switched off. Please be advised that not all RDS radio stations currently transmit a time signal (CT ­ Clock time). Displaying the clock You can set the clock to permanent display in both the radio and CD modes.

Even the sound produced by well selected and installed speakers can be affected negatively by the resonance in the vehicle interior. As a result, the bass sounds may be lost or reverberate, the mid-range tones sound too overpowering and music instruments or voices may be distorted or the total sound quality may be completely lifeless. The overall sound quality can be greatly enhanced if certain frequencies are suppressed or boosted. This car audio system is equipped with one (Biarritz RDM 169, Sevilla RDM 168) or two (Acapulco RDM 168) parametric filters. The first filter "LOW EQ" can be set from 32 to 500 Hz, the second filter "HIGH EQ" from 630 to 10,000 Hz. In this context, parametric means that it is possible to set the frequency and either boost or reduce it (+10 to ­20 dB) individually for each of these filters. The individual steps you have to take to make these settings are described in the following table. The "HIGH EQ" and "LOW EQ" filters can be set in the "DSC" menu: · Press "DSC". Press / as often as necessary until "HIGH EQ" or "LOW EQ" appears in the display. Press << or >> once and set the level in the following table by pressing / . Press << >> to switch the frequency range. Notes on making the settings The following notes are intended as recommendations only. They do not necessarily reflect your own personal sound preferences. We recommend that you use a music CD you are familiar with to make the settings. The CD should include tracks with different instruments and vocals. Purely electronic music is not well suited to serve as a basis for making the settings because the original sounds cannot be determined. Before you set the equalizer, set bass, treble, balance and fader to "0" and switch the Loudness function off, if necessary. This setting is described in the Quick Reference under AUD. Now listen to the CD you have selected. Evaluate the sound according to your own personal preferences. · · 53 PORTUGUÊS ESPAÑOL SVENSKA Now you can compare the sound produced by your car stereo with or without the equalizer. NEDERLANDS · Press "DSC" to store your settings. You can switch the equalizer on and off in the "DSC" menu using the "EQ ON" or "EQ OFF" option. ITALIANO FRANÇAIS ENGLISH The acoustic characteristics of the car interior affect the quality of the sound reproduced in your vehicle to a much greater extent than the speakers. These parametric filters can be adjusted to very exact settings even without the help of measuring instruments. Now refer to "Sound impression/problem" in the table and you will find suggestions to eliminate any problems under "What to do".
