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 music fi les on a single disc.
In order to be able to play a recorded
CDR or CDRW, when recording, the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet fi le format isrecommended.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it ma
y not be playedcorrectly.
It is recommended that the same recordin
g format is alwaysused for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum) for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case o
f a multi-session CD, the Joliet format is recommended.
The audio s
ystem will only play fi les with the extension ".mp3" with
a sampling rate of 22.05 KHz or 44.1 KHz. No other type of fi le(.wma, .mp4, .m3u...) can be played.
It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters without usin
gspecial characters (e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying problems.

The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listenedto or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when goingthrough a car wash or into an underground car park).
Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to2 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 equipment operating timedepends 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 batterycharge.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is toohigh, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protectionmode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.
