2012 Peugeot 208 Owner's Manual

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audiosources (radio, CD...). For optimum sound quality, the audio settings
(Volume, Bass, Treble,
Ambiance, 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, Ambiance, 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 chan
ging the settings for treble and
bass, the ambiance
setting is deselected.

When changing the
ambiance setting, treble and bass are reset to zero.
Choosing an ambiance imposes settings for treble and bass. Modifyingone without the other is not possible. Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambiance setting to obtain the desired sound quality. The followin
g tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.
