Rad io  Tu ningRADIO TUNING
Manual tuning
If you know the frequency of the radio station you 
are seeking, or you need to select a radio station 
that is too weak to be found by automatic tuning, 
use manual tuning, as follows:
Select the desired waveband (FM or AM), then 
press the ‘MAN ’ button (6). By briefly pressing 
either tuning button (5), the frequency changes 
(either up or down) in steps of 0.1 MHz for FM, 
or 1 kHz for AM. 
Fast manual tuningBy keeping either tuning button depressed, the 
waveband will be scanned rapidly (up or down) 
until the button is released.
Automatic tuningSelect the required waveband (FM or AM), then 
briefly press one of the tuning buttons (5) - 
( ‘SEEK ’ along with the chosen waveband appear 
in the display).
The radio automatically searches the frequency 
range (either up or down depending upon which 
of the tuning buttons is pressed) looking for a 
radio station of acceptable strength. Once a 
suitable station is found, the search stops unless 
you choose to continue by pressing the tuning 
button again.
The search can be stopped at any time by 
pressing any pre-set button.
Waveband scan
Select the desired waveband (FM or AM) and 
press the SCAN button (8). The radio scans 
through the waveband, seeking stations of 
acceptable strength (the waveband, frequency 
and  ‘SC ’ are displayed). The radio stops at each 
one it finds and plays that station for 10 seconds, 
the radio then mutes and scans for the next 
station. 
To stop the scan, press the button again - the 
radio commences playing the station at which 
the scan was stopped.
W ea th e r b a nd *
Press the AM button (4) up to three times until 
‘WB ’ appears in the display. The radio will 
automatically search for the strongest national 
weather station signal in the area.
If the radio is unable to find a sufficiently strong 
weather information signal, it will continue to 
search ( ‘NO WB ’ appears in the display) until a 
strong enough signal is found. To leave WB 
mode and return to radio/cassette or CD play, 
press the appropriate AM, FM, TAPE or CD mode 
button. 
MONO/STEREOWhenever the FM waveband is selected, the radio 
automatically reproduces stereo sound, provided 
a suitable signal is available. However, if a signal 
becomes too weak for good stereo reception, 
only mono sound is produced until the signal 
strengthens sufficiently for stereo sound 
reproduction.

RADIO PRE-SET BUTTONS
The six pre-set buttons (7) can be used to 
manually store up to twelve FM stations (six each 
on FM1 and FM2) and twelve AM stations (six 
each on AM1 and AM2).The pre-sets are 
programmed as follows:
Programming the pre-sets
•Select the required waveband (FM1, FM2, 
AM1 or AM2).
•Tune to the desired frequency using either 
automatic or manual tuning.
•Press and hold one of the pre-set buttons 
until a bleep sounds. The frequency is now 
stored (the display shows the waveband and 
frequency or name of the station you have 
tuned).
NOTE: Once the pre-sets have been 
programmed, they will be retained by the unit 
until they are re-programmed or until the 
battery is disconnected.
Operating the pre-setsOnce the pre-set buttons have been 
programmed, operation is simple; select the 
desired waveband, then press the pre-set button 
of your choice.
AUTO-STOREAuto-store enables you to rapidly tune and store 
the strongest FM and AM radio signals in a single 
operation. This facility is particularly useful if you 
are in an unfamiliar area and have little 
knowledge of local transmitter frequencies.
Programming auto-storePress and hold the appropriate waveband 
selection button (3 or 4) until a bleep sounds (the 
radio mutes and the display shows either 
‘FM AUTOSTORE’ or ‘AM AUTOSTORE’).
Auto-store scans the waveband to find the six 
strongest frequencies and then stores them on 
either the FM2 or AM2 pre-set buttons in order of 
signal strength.
Auto-store overwrites any stations already 
stored on the FM2 or AM2 pre-set buttons.
Radio play restores when the operation is 
complete. 
NOTE: If auto-store is unable to find six strong 
stations, the remaining pre-set buttons remain 
blank.
Operating auto-storeTo tune to one of the auto-store frequencies, 
select FM2 or AM2, then press the pre-set button 
of your choice; the frequency or 
radio station name will appear on the display.

							R990 - Radio Data System

Radio Data  SystemRADIO DATA SYSTEM (RDS)This radio is equipped with RDS (Radio Data 
System). RDS operates on the FM waveband and 
enables the radio to receive other information in 
addition to radio signals, including:
•the programme service name: this enables 
the set to display the radio station name 
instead of the frequency.
•programme type selection: allows choice of 
listening by one of 22 programme types 
rather than by radio station name.
•an alarm announcement facility: this enables 
the set to give priority to emergency 
information broadcasts; e.g. a very serious 
accident or natural disaster. All other audio 
functions will be overridden (‘ALERT’ appears 
in the display).
Receiving RDS stationsThe radio is automatically in the RDS mode 
whenever the FM waveband is selected.
Whenever an RDS radio station is received, the 
radio station name illuminates in the display. 
NOTE: Not all FM radio stations broadcast RDS. 
If a non-RDS station is received the RDS features 
described previously will not be available.
Local radio stationsReception of most local radio stations is 
intentionally limited to a comparatively small 
area around the transmitter. 
						

							
R990 - Programme Type
Programme TypePROGRAMME TYPE (PTY)
PTY is a service whereby RDS compatible radio 
stations are able to transmit a signal which 
identifies the programme content. Your radio is 
able to receive and decipher this signal, thereby 
enabling you to select a programme category, 
which will then be given priority over other 
broadcasts.
For example, if you want to listen to classical 
music, select the ‘CLASSICAL’ category and the 
set will automatically search for and broadcast a 
station transmitting the ‘CLASSICAL’ PTY code.
Operating PTY
Select your chosen PTY category as follows:
•Press the Programme type button (9); the 
current PTY category will appear in the 
display (eg. ‘COUNTRY’).
•To change the category, scroll up or down 
through the list of 22 options using the tuning 
buttons (5). 
•Press the Programme type button again - the 
radio will search through the waveband for a 
station broadcasting the selected PTY code.
In some circumstances (depending on the time 
of day, popularity of programme choice, etc), the 
set may not be able to immediately locate a radio 
station broadcasting the chosen PTY code - the 
display will show ‘NO PTY’ and return to the 
original station.The 22 categories available for selection are as 
follows.
1.‘NEWS’
2.‘INFORM’
3.‘SPORTS’
4.‘TALK’
5.‘ROCK’
6.‘CLASSIC ROCK’
7.‘ADULT HIT’

Radio Reception
R adio Rec eption
RADIO RECEPTION
Distortion, interference and lack of signal clarity, 
are often attributed to a fault in the radio - this is 
rarely the case.
Problems of this kind are usually caused by 
phenomena such as atmospheric conditions, 
signal strength, hilly terrain, tall buildings, 
bridges and even electrical interference from 
power lines.
Please remember: A car radio receives signals 
while the vehicle is in motion (unlike a domestic 
set) - constantly changing direction and moving 
away from, or nearer to, the transmitter whilst 
negotiating terrain with widely differing reception 
characteristics. Some interference is to be 
expected from time to time.
FM transmitters can only broadcast over a 
limited range and good, clear signals will only be 
received in the immediate area of the transmitter. 
When travelling, it may be necessary to re-tune 
the radio from time to time, to offset the effects 
of moving from one transmitter area to another. The broadcast range for good stereo reception 
(usually within a 30 to 40 mile radius of the 
transmitter) is noticeably less than it is for mono.
FM Signals (like light waves) travel in a straight 
line, so large obstacles, such as tall buildings, 
can shield the car from the signal causing 
distortion or loss of reception (known as dead 
spots).
Distortion can also occur if FM signals received 
directly from the transmitter mix with signals 
which have been reflected by obstructions such 
as mountains, hills and tall buildings (this is 
known as multi-path distortion).

							Care of Cassette Player and Tapes


Care  of Cas se tte P la yer a nd T ape s
CARE OF CASSETTE PLAYER AND TAPES
Use only good quality tapes with a maximum 
capacity of ninety minutes (C90). Check that both 
spools rotate freely and remove any loose turns 
at the start of the tape by winding one spool with 
a pen or pencil. 
Cassette playerIn use, the tape head accumulates dust and 
contamination, gradually impairing sound 
reproduction and, in extreme cases, reducing 
volume too. To combat contamination, clean the 
tape head periodically (after approximately every 
20 hours playing time) by passing a wet type 
cleaning cassette through the player. 
NOTE: Because your cassette player is fitted with 
auto reverse, the cleaning cassette must be 
played in both directions.
The tape will require more frequent cleaning in 
winter, as contamination is greater in conditions 
of low temperature and increased humidity. 
However, the use of good quality tapes keeps the 
build up to a minimum.
Cassette tapes
•Always store cassettes in their boxes when 
not in use.
•Never leave cassettes in the vehicle during 
extremes of temperature. In particular, do not 
leave tapes in direct sunlight as they may 
warp and become unusable, or jam the tape 
player mechanism. 
•Fast forward, or rewind tapes every 8 to 10 
plays to prevent them from becoming too 
tightly wound.
•Ensure that labels attached to the cassette are 
glued firmly in place.
•DO NOT leave tapes in the cassette player for 
more than a few hours in very cold or humid 
conditions - the oxides on the tape surface 
may contaminate the cassette player 
mechanism. 
NOTE: After continuous playing, cassettes may 
become hot to touch.This is normal and will not 
harm good quality tape.

LOADING & UNLOADING THE MAGAZINE
Holding the magazine as shown (arrow on 
magazine casing uppermost), remove each CD 
tray in turn. 
Place a disc (label side uppermost) onto each 
tray - holding ONLY the outside edge and centre 
hole of the disc. Load only one disc in each tray.
Correctly align the tray with the parallel slots on 
each side of the magazine and slide the tray into 
the magazine.
To unload the magazine, hold the magazine with 
the arrow uppermost, pull out each tray in turn, 
holding the tray securely so as not to drop the 
disc. Unload one disc at a time and handle only 
the edge and centre of the disc.Important:
•Use standard 12cm CDs only. 
•DO NOT use irregularly shaped or damaged 
CDs - these may damage the compact disc 
changer. 
•8cm CD singles must NOT be used, even if a 
CD adaptor is fitted.
•The CD autochanger should not be used in 
temperatures outside the range -10°C to 
+60°C.
•In the unlikely event that the CD auto changer 
overheats, ‘CD OVER TEMP’ will be displayed 
- change to radio or tape mode until the unit 
has cooled.
•The CD autochanger should only be used as 
described - any other application or method 
of use could result in the user being exposed 
to invisible laser radiation exceeding the limit 
of laser class 1.
NOTE: Additional magazines can be obtained 
from a Land Rover dealer.

Caring for Compact Discs
Caring for Compact Discs
CARING FOR COMPACT DISCS
Dirt, dust, condensation and heat can damage 
discs. Always observe the following precautions:
NEVER touch the horizontal playing surface (the 
unlabelled side) of a disc! Handle discs by 
holding the outer edges, or the edge of the 
central hole and the outer edge, between finger 
and thumb.
ALWAYS return discs to their boxes after use 
(dirt detracts from the sound quality).NEVER leave the disc or the box exposed to 
excessive heat or direct sunlight!
NEVER use a solvent or abrasive cleaner! Dust or 
dirt should be removed from the playing surface 
by wiping with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth always 
wipe in a straight line from the centre to the edge 
of the disc!
