General description
The radio system „Premium 8“ comprises a radio -R-, an integrated 6-disc CD changer and loudspeakers in the doors.
The radio -R- has a plug position for the use of SD storage cards for reproducing audio content and an output stage with 4 x 20 W output.
The loudspeakers are designed as a 3-way system in the front and as a 2-way system in the rear.
The radio system „Premium 8“ is available in a version with loudspeakers operated via the 4 internal loudspeaker outputs or in a version with the amplifier -R12-. In this case, the loudspeakers are connected directly to the amplifier -R12- and the loudspeaker outputs of the radio -R- are used for amplifier -R12- input signals.
The following loudspeakers are installed with the radio system „Premium 8“:
t  A bass loudspeaker, a mid-range loudspeaker and a treble loudspeaker in each of the front doors.
t  A bass loudspeaker and a treble loudspeaker in each of the rear doors.
To extend the functions, connection options are available for amplifier -R12-/CD changer -R41- and telephone.
An optional satellite radio -R146- is integrated into radio -R-„Premium 8“.
The integrated 6-disc CD changer can play the following formats:
t  Audio CD
t  CD-R
t  CD-RW
t  MP3
The following formats cannot be played:
t  CD with diameter of 8 cm
t  „Mixed CD“ (CD with data and audio files)
  Note
The internal CD changer has a transport protection device which must be deactivated before installing a new radio -R-. The transport protection device must also be switched on before shipping a removed radio -R-. For this, the radio -R- must still be connected to the voltage supply.
The aerial is a window aerial and is located in the rear window (saloon). In the Variant, the aerials are located in the rear side windows and in the roof aerial. The aerial system includes a „diversity function“ integrated in the radio -R-.
