Caution•
Do not connect a device other than a memory stick or MP3 player to the
USB port. It is not possible to operate hard disks or USB hubs, etc. via the USB
port.
•
Do not connect the MP3 player directly to the USB port. This could
damage the device.
•
Never remove a memory device when the USB port is selected as source
(CD). This could damage your memory device.
Functions
Music files are played just like on a CD changer using the
controls on the sound system.To start the memory stick or MP3 player, press the button several times
until the display shows CD positions CD 1 to CD 6 ⇒ page 24.
The following functions are available:•
Play all tracks stored on the memory device (if no folders are stored on the
memory device)
•
Select and play up to six main folders with music files (just like selecting
CD 1 to 6 on a CD changer)

NotesHere are some tips and points to reme mber when playing music files in the
car:•
We recommend that, instead of storing music files in the main directory of
the memory stick or MP3 player, you create separate folders e.g. for tracks
belonging to the same genre or artist. Therefore, bear in mind that your sound
system can display and play a maximum of six folders. The folders are allo-
cated first in numerical order and then in alphabetical order as CD 1 to CD 6.
Folders that do not contain music file s are automatically ignored. You can
create any number of subfolders.
•
If there are no folders on your memory device, the sound system will allo-
cate all the music files it finds to CD 1.
•
Track numbers appear with a maximum of two digits in the sound system
display. The first digit is suppressed if you select a track with a three-digit
number, i.e. track 125 and track 25 are both displayed as track “25”. We
therefore do not recommend allocating more than 99 tracks to each folder.
•
Bear in mind that special characters (umlauts, accents, etc) are at the end
of the alphabet.
The following music formats are supported:
•
mp3 (MPEG1 Layer3 from 32 to 320 kbps)
•
wma (from 8 to 192 kbps)
•
wav (11.025, 22.050 and 44.1 kHz sa mpling frequency with 16-bit
encoding, stereo)
•
ogg vorbis (up to q10, 48 kHz, stereo)
DRM music formats are not supported.Caution
Never store important data on the memory stick or MP3 player. SEAT is not
liable in any manner for any data or files that may be damaged or lost.
