							Radio Reception

Radio 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. 
While RDS automatic retuning eases this 
problem, some manual retuning may still be 
needed (especially for local stations) in areas of 
weak reception.
The broadcast range for good stereo reception 
(usually within a 30 to 40 miles 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 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 player
In 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.

							Care of Compact Discs

Ca re  of Co mpac t D is cs
CARE OF 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!
If minor scratches on the surface of a compact 
disc cause skipping or mistracking, use CD 
restorer polish to remove the scratches and 
improve the performance of the disc. When 
using CD restorer polish, always follow the 
manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE: Some music CD manufacturers are using data encryption to copy-protect their recordings 
and prevent the production of pirate copies. These CDs differ from the internationally agreed CD 
audio standard, RedBook, a standard that serves as the operating basis for all CD players and 
changers.
Copy-protected CDs may not play in your Audio unit or CD changer or may be played subject to 
various limitations, e.g., sound quality may be impaired.
If you do experience a problem, try the CD in other players before contacting the CD vendor.

							Security Code

S ec urity C odeSECURITY CODE INFORMATION
To reduce the risk of theft, Discovery 
radio/cassette and CD players are programmed 
with a four digit security code. Once activated, 
this code prevents the unit from functioning if it 
is illegally removed from the vehicle. There are 
10,000 different codes - making your radio 
equipment valueless to a thief unless he has the 
correct one. In addition, each unit is further 
protected by a time delay penalty system that 
effectively defies even the most systematic 
attempt to break the code.
NOTE: If an incorrect code is entered, a one 
minute time delay is imposed before a second 
code can be attempted. Each time a wrong code 
is entered, the time delay doubles (2 min, 4 
min, 8 min, etc.) making theft a very 
unattractive proposition.
On delivery of the vehicle you were supplied 
with a Security Information card. This card 
contains a record of the four digit security code, 
as well as the units unique serial number. The 
serial number is also stamped into the metal 
side of the unit and, in the event of theft, would 
confirm proof of ownership.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you keep a safe 
record of the security code and heed the 
following advice:
•NEVER keep a record of the security code in 
the car.
•If you lose your code number, contact the 
nearest Land Rover retailer, who will be able 
to obtain this information for you. 
ENTERING THE SECURITY CODE
If the code has not already been entered, or 
power to the set has been interrupted, the code 
MUST be entered before the set will operate. 
Enter the code as follows:
•Switch on the radio (‘CODE’ appears in the 
display). Press pre-set button 1.
•Press either the up or down tuning button 
(highlighted in illustration) until the first 
digit of the security code appears in the 
display. Press pre-set 1 to store the first 
digit in the units memory.
•Use either tuning button to select the 
second digit of the code (until the correct 
digit appears in the display). Press pre-set 1 
to store the second digit.
•Select the third digit, again using the tuning 
buttons (until the correct digit is displayed). 
Press pre-set 1 to store the third digit.
•Select the final digit (the display now shows 
the full four digit code). Press pre-set 1 to 
store the final digit.
If the correct code has been selected, a 
two-tone bleep will sound and the radio will 
operate.
If an incorrect code has been entered, the first 
time delay period commences. During the delay 
period, ‘Err’ or ‘WAIT’ appears in the display - 
DO NOT switch off. At the end of the delay 
period, ‘CODE’ reappears in the display and you 
can then enter the correct code. Remember; the 
time delay period doubles each time an 
incorrect code is entered.
IMPORTANT
Your vehicle was delivered with the security 
code disabled, if you wish to have the code 
activated, consult your Land Rover retailer.

IMPORTANT
This unit is equipped with a 20 minute 
time-out function. This enables the unit to be 
switched on and then used for up to 20 
minutes after the vehicle starter switch has 
been turned to position ‘0’, even if the key is 
removed. This means that if a passenger is 
to be left in the vehicle, music can be 
listened to, without the security risk of 
leaving the keys in the starter switch (at the 
end of the 20 minutes, the unit will switch off 
automatically).
