CD player
Your Audio-Telematic system allows
you to listen to audio CDs (CDDA, CD-
Text, CD-R/RW) or MP3 and WMA CDs.
Playing an audio CD 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 be-
tween tracks is stored on the hard disk. What is the Gracenote CDDB?
Copyright
Your Audio equipment may allow you
to listen to music which is usually pro-
tected by copyright in accordance with
current national and international stan-
dards. Please consult these standards
and comply with them.
Recording onto the music server
When the audio CD is
inserted in the player,
playing of the tracks is
automatic and they can
be recorded onto the
hard disk.
Simultaneous access to the music rec-
ognition service "Gracenote CDDB" on
the hard disk permits display of the title
information.
The tracks of audio CDs (not
MP3/WMA) can be recorded
onto the hard disk at approximately
4x speed (e.g.: 60 minutes converted
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 me-
dium (CD-R/RW, HDD, etc...).
Previously recorded tracks cannot be
recorded again from the same CD. The title information for the
track currently being played
can be obtained from the
"Gracenote CDDB" database
stored on the hard disk.
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 incor-
porated in this equipment cannot guar-
antee the content of the data 100 %.
You can update this database using a
DVD sold separately.

Some blank CDs may not be played

The MPEG1 and MPEG2 standards
are accepted.
Transmission speeds between 32 and
320 kbits/s and scans between 16 kHz

To display the title information (the
name of the artist, the title of the album,
etc...), the information contained in the

MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3 and MPG is the abbrevia-
tion 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 fre-
quencies which are imperceptible to the
human ear, so producing high quality au-
d i o fi l e s w i t h a l o w v o l u m e o f d a t a .
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 com-
pression standard offered by Microsoft.
It can be used to create and save audio
fi l e s a t a c o m p r e s s i o n r a t e h i g h e r t h a n
