Information on how to use a CD CD to jump
Uneven road surfaces and strong vibrations may cause the CD to jump.
Formation of condensation
When it is cold and after rain showers, moisture can deposit in the CD drive (con-
densation). This can effect the CD jump or impair the play function. In such cases
wait until the moisture has dissipated.
Notes for the care of the CDs
If a CD is soiled, please never clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather
from inside to outside with a soft lint-free cloth. In case of severe layers of dirt we
recommend to clean the CD with a commercially available CD cleaner. Also in this
case do not clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather from inside to out-
side and then let it dry off.
Overheating protection
If the temperature in the unit exceeds 85°C, the play function of the CD is ended
for safety reasons. CAUTION
● Never use liquids such as gasoline, paint thinner or disk cleaner, otherwise the
surface of the CD could get damaged!
● Never expose the CD to direct sun rays!
● Please never write or affix the CD! 1)

Note
Dirt or damage of a CD can lead to difficulties when “reading” the information. The
difficulty in reading the error depends on the dirt or on the severity of the me-
chanical damage. Severe scratches cause reading errors which can make the CD
jump or
“get stuck ”. All CDs must be treated carefully and always be stored in a
protective case. Ð
External sources Input AUX-IN
–
The input for external audio sources AUX-IN is located under the armrest of
the front seats.
– Activate the AUX-IN input by pressing the button MEDIA and by subsequently
pressing the function key AUX .
– External audio sources, which are connected to the AUX-IN input, cannot be
operated via the radio.
Input MDI - Multimedia socket
– The input for the external audio sources MDI is located under the armrest of
the front seats, in the storage compartment of the front passenger side or in a
storage compartment of the centre console (according to vehicle model).
– Activate the MDI input by pressing the button MEDIA and by subsequently
pressing the function key MDI .
– Audio data in MP3, WMA, OGG Vorbis and AAC format from the external data
stickers, connected to the MDI input, can be played via the radio.
– External audio sources, which are connected to the MDI input, can be operated
via the radio.
It is possible to play back external audio sources via the loudspeakers of the radio
in the vehicle.
You can select another audio source on the radio at any time. As long as the ex-
ternal audio source is not switched off, it remains always active in the back-
ground.
Please refer to the Owner's manual of the respective manufacturer for the opera-
tion of the external audio source. If a MEDIA-IN socket is additionally installed, the button
MDI is displayed instead
of the function key AUX in the Audio menu
. Please note that an audio source con-
nected to the AUX-IN socket can only be replayed, if there is currently no data car-
rier connected to the MDI input.
Use the standard jack plug 3.5
mm for the AUX-IN socket. If the external audio
source does not have this jack plug, you must use an adapter.
Adjust the play function volume of the external audio source
The play function volume of the external audio source can be changed via the vol-
ume control on the radio.
Depending on the connected audio source, the output volume on the external au-
dio source can be changed.
You can also change the input sensitivity of the external audio source, in order for
the play function volume of the external audio source to adapt to other audio
sources or to avoid distortions of the play function volume.
Adapter
A special adapter is required to connect audio sources via the input MDI.
We recommend that you purchase an adapter for connecting the USB devices, the
devices with Mini USB output or an iPod, at an authorised ŠKODA Service Partner.
Conditions for proper connection
● Only USB devices with the specification 2.0 can be connected.
● The version of the file allocation table FAT (File Allocation Table) of the con-
nected device must be FAT16 ( <2
GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB).
● In order to replay from a unit with a hard disk (HDD) which includes a large da-
ta volume, it can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music
data.
● In order to replay from a unit, which includes a complicated folder structure, it
can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music data.
● The folder structure in the connected unit must not exceed a depth of 8 levels.
One folder must not contain more than 1000°data.
● A USB extension cable or USB distributor (HUB) must not be used to connect
the unit. 8
