There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audiosources (radio, CD...).
For optimum sound qualit
y, 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...).
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 Fader, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position, select the musical ambience "None" and set theloudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
When changing the
settings for treble and
bass, the ambience
setting is deselected.
When chan
ging the
ambience setting, treble and bass are reset to zero.
Choosing an ambience imposes settings for treble and bass. Modifying
one without the other is not possible. Modify the treble and bass settings or
the ambience setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
When chan
ging the
balance setting, distribution is deselected.
Choosing a distribution setting imposes a balance setting. Modifying one
without the other is not possible. Modify the balance setting or the distribution setting to obtain the desired sound quality. The
following tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.

y greater than is
provided by the audio system. Connect the device to the 230 V socket, the 12 V socket or an external power supply.
Caution
:
ensure that the device does not transmit
a voltage greater than 5 V (risk of destruction of
the system).

gine to increase the batterycharge.
The message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation i
f the surrounding temperature is too
high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.
