Altering the TIM standby time  
You can alter the TIM standby time for the  
audio system when it is switched off from 2  
to 24 hours.  
If the TIM function is switched on, “TIM 2h”  
will always appear in the top line of the dis-  
play when you switch the audio system off.  
If you would like to alter the TIM time to 24  
hours,  
When the set is switched on, any messag-  
es that are older than 4 hours will be delet-

The station you are tuned into does  
not have to be a traffic information sta-

reception with RDS-EON).  
If you have installed a power antenna, then  
please read the warning note at the end of  
this section.  
“TIM 24h” will appear in the top line.  
The TIM standby time is set to a maximum  
of 24 hours.  
The power antenna remains extended dur-

To prevent the car battery from running  
down, the TIM standby time will automati-  
cally revert to 2 hours every time the audio  
system is switched back on.  
Switching TIM on/off  
When the set is switched on, you can switch

Setting the equaliser  
The individual steps you have to take to  
make these settings are described in the  
table.  
The acoustic characteristics of the car inte-  
rior affect the quality of the sound repro-  
duced in your vehicle to a much greater ex-  
tent than the speakers.  
Notes on making the settings  
Position, installation and the rear volumes  
of, for example, the door or rear window  
shelf all play an important role.  
The following notes are intended as recom-  
mendations only. They do not necessarily  
reflect your own personal sound preferenc-  
es.  
The “HIGH” and “LOW” filters can be set in  
the AUD menu, page 2:  
Even the sound produced by well selected  
and installed speakers can be affected neg-  
atively by resonance frequencies in the ve-  
hicle interior.  
Press AUD and NEXT one after the  
other.  
We recommend that you use a music CD  
you are familiar with to make the settings.  
Select the filter you would like to adjust  
(“LOW” or “HIGH”).  
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 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.  
The overall sound quality can be greatly  
enhanced if certain frequencies are sup-  
pressed or boosted.  
Before you set the equaliser, set bass, tre-  
ble, balance and fader to “0”.  
Press << >> to set the frequency.  
This setting is described in the Quick Refer-  
ence under 9 AUD.  
This car stereo is equipped with 2 paramet-  
ric filters. The first filter “LOW” can be set  
from 32 to 500 Hz, the second filter “HIGH”  
from 630 to 10,000 Hz. In this context, par-  
ametric means that it is possible to set one  
frequency for each of these filters and ei-  
ther boost or reduce it (+10 to -20 dB) indi-  
vidually.  
Press  
/
to set the level as described  
in the following table.  
Now listen to the CD you have selected.  
Press ENT to store your settings.  
Evaluate the sound according to your own  
personal preferences.  
Now refer to “Sound impression/problem” in  
the table and you will find suggestions to  
eliminate any problems under “What to do”.  
Make the settings for bass and the lower  
mid-range tones with the LOW filter, select  
HIGH for treble and mid-range tones.  
These parametric filters can be adjusted to  
very exact settings even without the help of  
measuring instruments.
