With Sound Staging, the driver and passengers are immersed in an"audio scene" recreating the natural atmosphere of an auditorium:
truly a part of the scene and its surroundings.
This new sensation is made possible b
y software in the audio system
which processes the digital signals from the media players (radio, CD, MP3…) without changing the audio settings. This processing
takes account of the characteristics of the passenger compartment toproduce optimum results.
The Arkam
ys© software installed in your audio system processes©
the digital signal from the media players (radio, CD, MP3, ...) andrecreates a natural musical scene, with harmonious placement of
instruments and voices in the space in front of passengers, level with
the windscreen.

switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's en
gine to increase the batterycharge.

yback of my USB memory stick starts only
after a very long wait (around 2 to 3 minutes).Some fi les supplied with the memor
