Frequently Asked Questions - CS MP 300 AEG

How do I install the AEG CS MP 300 car stereo?

First, disconnect the vehicle's battery negative terminal. Remove the old stereo, then connect the wiring harness: yellow to constant 12V, red to switched 12V, black to ground. Connect speaker wires (white/white-black = left front, gray/gray-black = right front, green/green-black = left rear, purple/purple-black = right rear). Slide the stereo into the DIN slot and secure with the cage.

Why is there no sound from the speakers?

Check speaker wire connections and ensure the unit is not muted. Verify the volume is turned up. Also check the fader/balance settings. If still no sound, test the speakers with a battery.

How do I set the clock on the CS MP 300?

Press the CLK button (or hold) until the hour digits flash. Use the tuning knob to set the hour, then press CLK again to set minutes. Turn the knob to adjust, then press CLK to confirm.

Can I play music from a USB stick?

Yes, the CS MP 300 supports USB playback of MP3 files. Insert a USB drive into the front USB port; the unit will automatically switch to USB mode. Use the controls to navigate folders.

How do I pair Bluetooth?

This model does not have Bluetooth. Use AUX or USB for external audio.

What is the password for the radio?

The AEG CS MP 300 does not have a security PIN. If a code is requested after power loss, you may need to enter a code from the manual; otherwise, try 0000 or 1234.

How do I clean the faceplate?

Remove the faceplate (if detachable). Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe gently. Do not use alcohol, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the surface.

Why does the radio not receive stations?

OPERATION

LOCATION OF KEYS

OPERATION

SWITCHING ON/OFF THE UNIT

Switch on the unit by pressing any button (except the ↑ button (7) and eject button (4)). When the system is on, press the POWER button (9) to turn off the unit.

FACEPLATE RELEASE

Press the OPEN/CLOSE button (7) to slide down the removable faceplate.

SOUND ADJUSTMENT

Press the SEL button (10) to select the desired adjustment mode. The adjustment mode will change in the following order:

By rotating the VOLUME knob (11) clockwise or counter-clockwise, it is possible to adjust the desired sound quality.

Press the SEL button (10) for several seconds to activate the cyclical mode of the following functions for user selection.

a) TA SEEK OR TA ALARM

- TA SEEK mode:

When a newly tuned station does not receive TP information for several seconds, the radio retunes to the next station that has a different PI code from the last station but has TP information.

When TP information is lost at the current station for the retune time set by RETUNE SHORT (30 sec.) or RETUNE LONG (90 sec.), the radio starts to retune to the next station with the same PI code. If the same PI station is not found within one cyclic search, the

radio retunes to the next station with TP information.

- TA ALARM mode:

When this mode is selected, no automatic retune mode is activated. Only a double beep sound (ALARM) is output. When a newly tuned station does not have TP information for several seconds, beeps are emitted. When TP information is lost at the current station for the retune time, the beep sound is output. When a newly tuned station has no RDS signal, "PI SEEK" is somewhat suppressed.

b) PI SOUND or PI MUTE

While AF switching is implemented in a C201 station, AF can switch to 100 MHz, which is a non-genuine AF (where a different PI code is received with the same AF) in a short "DIP".

If a car cruises back and forth in that critical area, an oscillation phenomenon can occur because a different PI code can be received from 100 MHz with "XXX" PI. The car radio has a special procedure to reduce even this kind of unavoidable situation; however, there is a limit to escaping from this serious case perfectly. In that serious case, two modes are selectable as follows:

- PI SOUND mode:

When the above different PI sound (DIP) is heard occasionally, the DIP's sound will be heard for a short time.

- PI MUTE mode:

Under the same situation as above, a mute sound will be heard for a short time.

OPERATION

c) RETUNE L or RETUNE S mode The initial time for automatic TA search or PI search modes is selected. When PI information is not caught within the return time, the radio starts to return to the next station with the same PI. If the same PI station is not caught within one cyclic search, the radio goes to the last station and waits for several minutes until the PI code is received.

• RETUNE L mode: Selected as 90 seconds.
• RETUNE S mode: Selected as 30 seconds.

d) MASK DPI or MASK ALL mode The AF frequency (which has a different PI or no RDS signal with high field strength) is masked during PI checking when the unit searches for AF. The unit does not search this AF (DIP) for a few minutes. In the case of an AF with no RDS signal but high field strength, if the real AF is wrongly masked as DIP due to some interference, the unit hesitates to search for real AFs.

For this reason, the unit has a user option (MASK DPI) that does not mask the AF with no RDS signal but high field strength. In MASK DPI mode, the wrong sound or long mute (according to PI SOUND or PI MUTE) can be heard from the AF station that has no RDS signal and whose field strength is higher than that of the currently tuned AF (station). However, these phenomena are rare, and the user will hardly hear the wrong sound across Europe.

• MASK DPI mode: Only the AF with a different PI is masked.
• MASK ALL mode: The AF with a different PI and no RDS signal but high field strength is masked.

e) BEEP 2'ND, BEEP ALL, BEEP OFF mode

The situation of the beep sound is selected. The 3 modes are also selected by rotating the VOLUME knob (11)

clockwise or counter-clockwise.

• BEEP 2'nd mode: The beep is only generated when all allowed double-key presses are long (1 sec). E.g., when the preset button (14) is pressed, when the BND/LOU button (13) is pressed, when the AS/PS button (18) is pressed.
• BEEP ALL mode: The beep is generated when every key is pressed.
• BEEP OFF mode: The beep is disabled.

LOUDNESS

Press BND /LOU button (13) for several seconds to reinforce the bass output. Press it for several seconds again to release this function.

DISPLAY

Press DSP button (15) to operate as the conversion of each display mode as follows:

• In case of receiving a RDS station In radio mode: ->PS ->CT ->FREQ ->PTY -> In CD mode: ->CD ->CT ->PS ->FREQ ->PTY ->
• In case of no receiving CT or PTY information, the display shows as "NO CLOCK" or "NO PTY".
• In case of receiving a non RDS station In radio mode: ->"NO CLOCK" ->FREQ -> "NO PTY" -> In CD mode: -> CD -> CT -> FREQ -> "NO PTY" -> Each displaying time is several seconds, and come back to 1^st position after several seconds.

Press for several seconds until "MANUAL" appears on the display, the manual tuning mode is selected. If both buttons have not been pressed for several seconds, they will return to seek tuning mode and "AUTO" appears on the display.

• AUTOMATIC MEMORY STORING & PROGRAM SCANNING

- Automatic memory storing: Press AS/PS button (18) for several seconds, the radio searches from the current frequency and checks the signal strength until one cycle search is finished. And then 6 strongest stations are stored into the corresponding preset number button.

- Program scanning: Press AS/PS button (18) shortly to scan preset stations. When the field strength level is more than the threshold level of stop level, the radio is holding at that preset number for several seconds with release mute, then searches again.

• STATION STORING

Press any one of the preset buttons (14) (1 to 6) to select a station, which had been stored in the memory. Press this button for several seconds (until 2ND beeps come out), current station is stored into the number button.

OPERATION

- Setting RDS mode: Press AF/REG button (3) and release immediately to switch on or off RDS mode. Whenever RDS is switch on, symbol "AF" appears on the display. Program name is displayed on receiving a RDS station.

"AF" starts blinking if the broadcasting signal getting worse.

"ALARM" will be displayed when an emergency broadcasting is received, meanwhile sound output level will be adjusted to the preset output level automatically when the volume control is set at minimum.

- Regional Program Operation: Press AF/REG button (3) for several seconds to switch on or off region mode.

Some broadcasting stations change their program from normal broadcasting to regional broadcasting for a certain time period. When region is on, the current listening program remains unchanged. When region is off, it allows the reception moves to the regional station.

- Using PTY to Select Program PTY button (1) is operated as follows:

→PTY MUSIC group→PTY SPEECH group→PTY off

While selecting PTY engagement, its selection is implemented by preset buttons as described in notes. When PTY is selected, the radio starts to search corresponding PTY information, and stops if the corresponding PTY information is detected.

If corresponding PTY information is not existed any more, PTY engaging is automatically exit to normal mode. Notes:

When PTY mode is engaged, the PTY switch is shared as follows:

→PTY MUSIC group→PTY SPEECH group→PTY off

According to above 2 allotted group, the preset number is used for PTY selection as follows:

MUSIC group

* POP M, ROCK M

*EASY M, LIGHT M

*CLASSICS, OTHER M

*JAZZ, COUNTRY

*NATION M, OLDIES

*FOLK M

SPEECH group

*NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFO

*SPORT, EDUCATE, DRAMA

*CULTURE, SCIENCE, VARIED

*WEATHER, FINANCE, CHILDREN *SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN

*TRAVEL, LEISURE, DOCUMENT

- Listening to Traffic Announcement TA button (2) is operated as follows:

When pressed briefly, it toggles TA mode on or off.

When TA mode is on and a traffic announcement is transmitted: When the unit was in CD (MP3), it will temporarily switch to radio mode.

Temporary switch over to an EON linked station when EON detects a traffic announcement on that other program.

If the volume level was below the threshold point, it will be raised to the threshold point. But if the user changed the volume level to a value above the threshold point (min. TA volume level), it will be set to the last level.

When TA mode is on, TA of individual segment is turned on. When a TP station is received, TP of individual segment is turned on.

TA interruption function The current traffic announcement is cancelled by pressing this key. But the TA mode will not be turned off. When pressed long, it selects EON TA LOCAL/EON TA DISTANCE mode.

The purpose of this key is to reduce unwanted EON TA switching, which occurs when EON TA information is received from the current station and the radio switches to that EON linked station, but no information could be received because the EON linked station is located too far from that area. So the radio switches back to the current station again. In the above operation, a customer listens to a wrong program or mute sound for a while.

EON TA LOCAL mode

When the field strength level of EON linked is less than threshold level, the radio does not switch to that station, and a customer can hardly listen to any disturbances.

When EON TA LOCAL mode is selected, "EON TA LO" is indicated on the numeric display for a few seconds.

EON TA DISTANCE mode

EON TA switch is attempted to be implemented by the information of the current station.

When EON TA DISTANCE mode is selected, "EON TA DX" is indicated on the numeric display for a few seconds.

The RDS data used are the PI, PS, AF, TP, TA, EON, and PTY data.

PI: Program Identification code Code for identifying programs

PS: Program Service Name Broadcast station name data expressed in alphanumeric characters

AF: Alternative Frequencies Frequency list of broadcasting stations transmitting the same program
