There is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources (radio, CD, CD changer...).
Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Balance, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position, select the musical ambience "None" and set the loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio, CD, CD changer...).
The CD is ejected automatically or is not played by the player.

QUESTION SOLUTION RESPONSE
The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used b y the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area th rough which the vehicle is travelling.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, baseme nt car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for exam ple when going through a car wash or into an underground car park).
Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode.
During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off, the audio equipment switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio equipme nt operating time depends on the battery charge. The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
The stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...)
An incorrect waveband is selected. Press the BAND AST button to return to the waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the stations are stored.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too high, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.

PLAYING AN MP3 CD
INFORMATION AND ADVICE
The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1.2 & 2.5
Audio Layer 3, is an audio compression standard
which permits the recording of several tens of musi c
iles on a single disc.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW,
when recording it is preferable to select standards ISO
9660 level 1.2 or JOLIET.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may n ot be
played correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording standard is
always used for an individual disc, with as low a s peed
as possible (4x maximum) for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the J oliet
standard is recommended.
It is advisable to restrict ile names to 20 charact ers
without using special characters (e.g.: " ? ; ù) to avoid
any playing or displaying problems.
The audio equipment will only play audio iles with
the
extension ".mp3" with a sampling rate of 22.05 KHz or
44.1 KHz. No other type of ile (.wma, .mp4, m3u...)
can be played. Insert circular compact discs only. Certain anti-pi
rating
systems, on original discs or CDs copied using a
personal recorder, may cause malfunctions which are
no relection on the quality of the original player. Insert
an MP3 CD in the player, play begins automatically.
LISTENING TO AN MP3 COMPILATION
Selection is only possible in
STOP mode ( n).
