Some RDS-compatible stations also transmit additional text known as radio
text. Radio text can also be displayed on the screen.
Not all radio stations support RDS and radio text.
The individual radio station is responsible for the information displayed.
Changing stored radio station names
If an RDS-compatible radio station broadcasts additional information (radio
text) while the station is being stored, the name of the radio station may
subsequently be incorrectly displayed.
In this case, you can change the displayed station name manually.
Select the stored station and wait until the correct name appears on the
screen. If you then briefly press the setting knob, the text currently displayed
on the screen will be stored as the station name. Station tracking and RDS regional
FM radio stations broadcast under the same name on several different
regional frequencies. Some of these “
broadcasting stations” temporarily or
always broadcast different content a ccording to region under the name
name.
As the default setting, the automatic station tracking always switches auto-
matically to the radio station's frequency that offers the best reception, as the
vehicle travels from one area to the next (setting: ).
This can, however, result in a region al radio programme being interrupted as
the unit switches to another frequency with a better reception, on which the
same radio station is broadcast from a different regional broadcasting
station.
If you change the setting to when travelling through the broadcasting
range of a radio station, the radio-navi gation system will attempt for as long
as possible to tune only to alternat ive frequencies for the selected regional
broadcasting station.

24Traffic announcements will interrupt the active audio mode. The radio will
switch to the traffic news station for the duration of the traffic announcement.
The media mode will be paused for the duration of the traffic announcement.
If no TP station can be received at any time, e.g. because radio reception is
generally poor, then No TP is displayed instead of TP. Keep in mind that in
covered garages, tunnels, areas with tall buildings or mountains, the radio
signal may encounter interference, perhaps even being lost completely.
On the AM frequency band, traffic news monitoring with the traffic news func-
tion is not possible. No TP is displayed permanently.
EON (Enhanced Other Network)
If the selected radio station does not broadcast its own traffic news, but does
support EON (Enhanced Other Network), the unit will temporarily switch over
to play traffic announcements from a corresponding traffic news station as
they are broadcast. This happens only when the traffic news function is
switched on and the corresponding traffic news station can be received.
If this is the case, pressing the button will not make the unit switch to a
traffic news station. The traffic news function remains active and TP is
displayed.
Search function and traffic news monitoring
If traffic news monitoring is switched on in FM mode, you will only be offered
traffic news stations when carrying out a station search with the arrow
buttons ⇒ page 15 or using the scan function ⇒page 17.
While the unit is in FM mode and the traffic news function is switched on, if
you select via the station buttons or manually tune to a radio station that does
not support the traffic news function, the text NO TP will flash on the display
for three seconds. NO TP is then displayed permanently. The unit will remain
tuned to the selected station. Only when you switch to media mode will the
unit automatically retune in the background to the next receivable traffic
news station and TP will appear again on the display.
In FM mode , the text NO TP will flash for three seconds when the reception of
the selected traffic news station is completely lost. NO TP is then displayed permanently. If you start the automatic station search with the arrow buttons
⇒
page 15, the unit searches for the next traffic news station it can receive.
In media mode the unit will automatically retune in the background to the
next receivable traffic news station when the selected traffic news station can
no longer be received.

26Data medium cannot be read
If the unit is unable to read data on the data medium, a pop-up window
asking you to check the data medium appears. Otherwise, a message may
inform you directly that the file formats on the data medium cannot be read.
Confirm the message by pressing .
If a CD cannot be read, immediately after it is inserted it will be ejected again
and then automatically drawn in again to start another attempt to read it. If
the CD still cannot be read after the third attempt, a message inform the user
will appear on the screen. When you confirm the message, the CD will be
ejected.
If a CD is not removed from the eject position within 10 seconds, it is retracted
again to prevent damage and must then be ejected manually.
SD memory cards must always be removed manually.
Caution
•
Inserting a new CD while an inserted CD is being ejected can destroy the
CD drive in the unit. You must wait until the CD is ejected before trying to
insert a new CD.
•
Refer to other notes on handling data media ⇒page 45.
•
While inserting a memory card, make sure it is positioned correctly to
prevent damage to the unit ⇒page 30.
•
If you insert a number of CDs and receive the message “ CD drive error”
every time, there is probably a mechanical fault. In this case, you should
contact a SEAT dealership.
•
You will be unable to insert a CD if the temperature inside the unit is too
high. The equipment returns to the last audio source activated.
Note
•
Bought audio CDs (CD-DA) that meet the necessary specifications gener-
ally have the CD Digital Audio logo on them. CDs that have copy protection do
not have this logo and often cannot be played.
•
It may not be possible to play CDs and CD-RWs that you have burned your-
self, or playback may be restricted.
•
Audio DVDs cannot be played.
•
There can be significant quality differences between individual memory
cards, due to the large number of different makes available. It is therefore not
possible to guarantee that the unit will be able to read all manufacturers'
memory cards of the supported types.
File formatsOnly files with the correct file extension (“.mp3”) can be played.
MP3 file requirements•
Complex file structures on the data medium (a large number of folders
and subfolders, non-playable files, etc.) may lead to delays in the reading of
audio files.
•
The folder structure on a data medium should not have more than eight
folder levels.
•
An MP3 CD should not have more than 50 folders and 500 files.
•
A memory card should have no more than 5,000 folders and 15,000 files
and no more than 6,000 files in a folder.
•
