CD, MP3/WMA CD
INFORMATION AND ADVICE

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when
recording it is preferable to select the ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or Joliet
standard.
If the disc is recorded in another format it may not be played
correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording standard is always
used for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible
(4x maximum) for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is
recommended.
The MyWay will only play audio fi les with the extension ".mp3"
with a speed of between 8 Kbps and 320 Kbps and the extension
".wma" with a speed of between 5 Kbps and 384 Kbps.
It also supports the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other type of fi le (.mp4, .m3u...) can be played.
The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1, 2 & 2.5 Audio Layer 3
and the WMA format, an abbreviation of Windows Media Audio and
the property of Microsoft, are audio compression standards which
permit the recording of several tens of music fi les on a single disc.

It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters, without
using special characters (e.g. : " ? ; ù) to avoid any play or display
problems.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


There is a difference in
sound quality between
the different audio
sources (radio, CD...). 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...). 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 Linear musical ambience and
set the loudness correction to the "Active" position
in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio
mode.
The CD is ejected
automatically or is not
played by the player. The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any
audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not
recognised by the audio equipment.

- Check that the CD is inserted in the player the
right way up.

- Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot
be played if it is too damaged.

- Check the content in the case of a recorded
CD: consult the advice in the Audio section.

- The audio equipment's CD player does not
play DVDs.

- Because of their quality level, certain
writeable CDs will not be played by the audio
system.
The CD player sound is
poor. The CD used is scratched or of poor quality. Insert good quality CDs and store them in suitable
conditions.
The audio equipment settings (bass, treble, ambiences) are unsuitable. Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting
an ambience.

interrupted automatically to play the TA message. Normal playback
of the audio source resumes at the end of the transmission of
the message.
