AUDIO-VIDEO
What is the RDS? RDS station following Traffi c information function
Your radio automatically checks
and selects the best frequency
for the radio station to which it
is tuned (if the station broadcasts on
several transmitters or frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers
approximately 30 miles (50 km). The
change from one frequency to another
explains the loss of reception during a
journey.
If the station to which you are listening
does not have several frequencies in
the region in which you are currently
located, you can deactivate the
automatic frequency following.
Radio, RDS, AF, REG, TP, PTY
The Radio Data System (RDS)
function on the FM waveband
permits:
- tuning to the same station while travelling through different regions
(if the transmitters of this station
cover the area through which you
are travelling),
- temporary tuning to traffi c information announcements,
- access to the displaying of the name of the station, etc.
Most FM stations use the RDS.
These stations transmit non-audible
data in addition to their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way allows
you access to various functions, mainly
displaying of the name of the station,
temporary tuning to traffi c information
announcements or automatic station
following.
The RDS allows you to continue listening
to the same station by means of the
frequency following. However, in
certain conditions, this RDS frequency
following cannot be provided throughout
the country. Radio stations do not cover
the whole country, which explains the
loss of reception of the station during
a journey. The Traffic Program (TP) function
permits automatic and tempo-
rary switching to an FM station
broadcasting traffi c information.
The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
Once the traffi c information has ended,
the system switches back to the radio
station or the source that you were
listening to initially.
Regional following mode Some stations are organised in
a network.
In different regions, they broadcast
different or shared programmes depending
on the time of day.
You can follow:
- a regional station only,
- the entire network, with the possibility that you will be listening to a different
programme. Programme types
Some stations offer the option
of listening to a themed type
of programme as a priority,
selected from the list available below:
NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFOS, SPORT,
EDUCATE, DRAMA, CULTURE,
SCIENCE, VARIED, POP M, ROCK
M, EASY M, LIGHT M, CLASSICS,
OTHER M, WEATHER, FINANCE,
CHILDREN, SOCIAL, RELIGION,
PHONE IN, TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ,
COUNTRY, NATION M, OLDIES, FOLK
M, DOCUMENT.

General notes on CDs
Playing an audio CD When the audio CD is
inserted in the player,
playing of the tracks is
automatic and they can
be recorded onto the
hard disc.
Simultaneous access to the music
recognition service “Gracenote CDDB”
on the hard disc permits displaying of
the title information. Switching off the engine or removing
the CD during recording will result in the
tracks being faulty.
The operation of the navigation system
may slow down during recording.
The recording speed may be slower
than 4x due to the processing load on
the equipment or the condition of the
audio CD.
If jumps or other errors occur, return to
the beginning of the track and start the
recording again.
Even if there is no gap between the
tracks on the CD, a brief silence between
tracks is stored on the hard disc. What is the Gracenote CDDB?
The title information for the
track currently being played
can be obtained from the
“Gracenote CDDB” database
stored on the hard disc.
The Gracenote company uses
this standard to identify the music and
the associated information such as:
- the title of the album,
- the name of the artist,
- the title of the tracks,
- the genre, ...
For further details, consult the site:
www.gracenote.com.
The Gracenote CDDB database
incorporated in this equipment cannot
guarantee the content of the data
100%. You can update this database
using a DVD sold separately.

MP3/WMA) can be recorded
onto the hard disc at approxi-
mately 4x speed (e.g. 60 minutes con-
verted to 15 minutes) and stored on the
music server.
The sounds recorded may be altered
by the noise present and the quality of
the sound may differ from the original.
The tracks recorded on the music
server cannot be reproduced on another
medium (CD-R/RW, HDD, etc.).
Previously recorded tracks cannot be
recorded again from the same CD.

The music server then allows you to
manage groups and lists of tracks. “Original” group, number 01:

The lists and the artists can be renamed
or deleted. The genres can also be set.
“My Best” group, number 02: This is the location of the
playlists, etc. created
automatically from the information read
on the music server.
It is not possible to change its name or
delete it.
The groups “My Favorites” and “My Fre-
quency” are stored here.
“New Group” group for the user,
numbers 03 to 99:

user’s playlists.
You can record up to 9999 playlists in
this group.

frequently from the original list.
It is not possible to add tracks or change
their order.
“User Playlist” list:

General notes on MP3/WMA CDs
Playing an MP3/WMA CD When the MP3/WMA CD is
inserted in the player, play-
ing of the tracks is automat-
ic.
The tracks cannot be recorded
onto the music server.
You can play up to 8 levels,
255 folders and 400 fi les
maximum.
Copyright
Your Audio equipment may allow you to
listen to music which is usually protected
by copyright in accordance with current
national and international standards.
Please consult these standards and
comply with them.
Acceptance of the fi les
Some burned CDs may not be played
by your equipment (quality, recording
speed ...).
When you burn a CD-R or CD-RW,
select the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet
burning standard.
To obtain the best acoustic quality
possible, select the lowest burning
speed.
The MPEG1 and MPEG2 standards
are accepted.
Transmission speeds between 32 and
320 kbits/s and scans between 16 kHz
and 48 kHz are accepted.
To display the title information (the
name of the artist, the title of the album,
etc.), the information contained in the
ID3 Tags or the WMA Tags must be
included in the MP3/WMA fi les burned
onto the disc.
What is the MP3/WMA fi le format?
MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3 and MPG is the
abbreviation of Motion Pictures Experts
Group, a digital video data compression
standard used on media such as video
CDs.
The MP3 compression reduces the
number of bytes in a song by eliminating
the long sound waves in the range of
frequencies which are imperceptible
to the human ear, so producing high
quality audio fi les with a low volume of
data.
This compression divides the size of
the content of a conventional audio
CD by approximately 10, which means
that the content of 10 audio CDs can
be recorded onto a single CD-R or
CD-RW.
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows
Media Audio, another audio data
compression standard offered by
Microsoft.
It can be used to create and save audio
fi les at a compression rate higher than
that of the MP3 format.
