| Chapter 10 - Audio systems |
The audio system in your car is operated with the buttons and knobs in the system's front panel. Certain functions, such as adjusting the volume, changing radio stations or tracks on a CD, etc, can also be controlled with the optional steering wheel-mounted keypad.
The audio system is available in two versions:
HU-650
Features: AM/FM radio, single-disc CD player, cassette player, 4x25W output, six speakers.
HU-850
Features: AM/FM radio, integrated 6-disc CD changer, 4x50W or 4x70W output plus
25W Dolby Pro Logic II, eleven speakers.
Compact disc care
· Before using a new disc for the first
time, remove any burrs in the center/outer edge by running the stem of a pen or
similar object around the hole/edge of the disc.
· Use high quality discs only.
· Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with
a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outwards. If necessary,
dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.
· Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liquid. Use only cleaners specifically
made for CDs.
· Use discs of the correct size only
(3.5" discs should never be used). The discs should conform to the norms
EN60908 (IEC60908).
· Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself.
· Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc.
· Condensation may occur on discs/optical
components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried with
a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take
up to one hour to dry off.
· Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way.
· When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or dusty locations.
Cassettes
· Store cassettes in their cases.
· Do not touch the tape surface with your fingers.
· Tapes should not be exposed to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
· Keep tapes away from oil, grease and other contaminants.
· For optimal tape deck performance Volvo does not recommend the use of C-120 tapes.
· Take up slack using a pen or a pencil before inserting a cassette in the cassette slot.
Cassette cleaning
We recommend the use of the Volvo Cleaning Cassette available as a genuine Volvo accessory. Regular use improves sound quality, cleans vital parts and prevents tape tangle.

Volume control
Turn the knob clockwise to increase volume. Volume control is electronic and does not
have an end stop. If you have a key pad in the steering wheel, increase or decrease
the volume with the + or- buttons.
Volume control - ALARM
If a CD is playing when the radio receives an alarm bulletin (available in certain
areas only), the CD player enters pause mode. The bulletin is broadcast at the volume
selected for this type of message.
After the bulletin has been completed, the audio system reverts to the
originally selected sound source (radio or CD),
which is played at the volume that was selected
for that source.
If the bulletin volume is adjusted while the bulletin is being broadcast, this new
volume is saved and used for subsequent bulletins.
Bass
Adjust the bass by pressing the button to extend the control and turning it to the left
(less bass) or to the right (more bass). A
"detent" indicates "equalized" bass. Press the
button back in when you have made the adjustment.
Treble
Adjust the treble by pressing the button to extend the control, pulling it out as far as
possible, and then turning it to the left (less treble) or to the right (more treble). A "detent" indicates "equalized" treble. Press
the button back in when you have made the adjustment.
MID EQ level
This function is used to fine-tune the balance of sound in the speakers. To set the level:
1. Press SOURCE.
2. Turn the SOURCE knob, select ADVANCED MENU and press SOURCE.
3. Turn the SOURCE knob, select AUDIO SETTINGS and press SOURCE.
4. Turn the SOURCE knob, select MID EQ LEVEL and press SOURCE.
5. Turn the SOURCE knob, select the desired level and press SOURCE.
6. Press EXIT.
Fader - Balance front/rear
Adjust front/rear speaker balance by pressing the button to extend the control and turning
it to the left (more sound from the rear speakers) or to the right (more sound from the
front speakers). A "detent" indicates
"equalized" balance. Press the button back in when
you have made the adjustment.
Balance right/left
Adjust left/right speaker balance by pressing the button to extend the control, pulling it
out as far as possible and then turning it to the
left (more sound from the left speakers) or to the right (more sound from the right speakers).
A "detent" indicates "equalized" balance.
Press the button back in when you have made the adjustment.
Selecting a sound source
The sound source (e.g. AM, FM, etc) can be selected in two ways:
· Use the sound source buttons (see the
right illustrations above).
· Turn the SOURCE knob (see

FM, cassette, or CD). Press the knob to select the AM or FM band of your choice.
The sound source selected will be shown in the display.
Scan
Press the SCAN button to start the station scan function. When a station is found,
scanning stops for approximately 10 seconds, after which scanning will continue.
Press the SCAN or EXIT button when a station has been found if you would like
to listen to that station and to discontinue the scan function.
Station seek up/down
Press

Press and hold it down. MAN will be shown in the display. The radio
scans slowly in the selected direction and will increase the scanning speed after a
few seconds. Release the button when the desired frequency appears in the display.
The frequency can be fine-tuned by short presses on the keys.
The system will remain in manual search mode for 5 seconds after the button is
released, after which it will return to seek mode.

2. Press the knob. Choose a number by turning the knob. Press again to store
the station.
Preset
To choose a preset station, turn button to the stored number. The currently selected
station is displayed.
Storing stations automatically
This function automatically searches for and stores up to 10 strong AM or FM stations in
a separate memory. If more than ten stations are found, the ten strongest ones are stored.
This function is especially useful in areas in
which you are not familiar with radio stations or
their frequencies.
To use the AUTO function:
1. Select radio mode using the AM or FM buttons.
2. Start the search by pressing AUTO for more than 2 seconds.
3. AUTO appears in the display and a number of stations with strong (max. 10) from the selected
frequency band will be stored in the auto-store memory. If there are no stations
with sufficient signal strength, NO STATION is displayed.
4. Press the AUTO button or the arrow keys on the optional steering wheel
controls briefly to select the stored stations.
When the radio is in auto-store mode, AUTO is shown in the display. AUTO
disappears when you return to the normal radio mode.
Return to the normal radio mode by pressing the AM, FM, or EXIT button or turn
the PRESET/CD knob.
To return to the Auto-store mode, press the AUTO button briefly.
Radio Broadcast Data System - RBDS
This feature, which may not be available in your area, functions only with FM broadcasts. The radio in your car is equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be transmitted visually, as text, together with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made available for several new and unique features.
The RBDS or Radio Broadcast Data System operates in the FM band only, and the information transmitted is supplied exclusively by participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the accuracy of the data or information.
Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the technology and benefits grow, you will find the radio in your car is equipped to take advantage of this system.
PI (Program Information) Seek:
When an FM station has been stored as a preset, the radio also stores RBDS program information if it is available. When the preset is selected at a later time, the radio tries to access updated program information. In weak signal areas, there may be a delay before the station becomes audible. During this delay, "PI seek" will be displayed and there will be no sound.
PI seek can be interrupted by pressing EXIT.
Radio text
Certain RBDS stations broadcast program information, which can be shown in the display. The text will be shown twice in the display.
To start this function:
Press the FM button for several seconds.
To deactivate this function:
Press FM briefly.
Station information will be shown twice in the display.
Alarm
Alarms bulletins are transmitted automatically by certain RBDS stations. The function cannot be deactivated.
"Alarm!" is shown in the radio display when an alarm message is sent. The function is used to warn motorists of serious accidents, etc.
Program type/station format -PTY
The PTY function allows you to find stations whose programs suit your taste. Use the PTY function to select among the different station formats shown in the list.

2. Turn the SOURCE knob, select PTY and press SOURCE.
