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. Thisprocessing takes account of the characteristics of the passenger compartment to produce optimum results.
The Arkam
ys© software installed in your audio system processes©
the digital signal from the media players (radio, CD, MP3, ...) and recreates a natural musical scene, with harmonious placement of instruments and voices in the space in front of passengers, level
with the windscreen.

pple ®player is of a generation that is not compatible with the USB. Connect the Apple ®player to the AUX Jack socket using a suitable cable (not supplied).

The hard disk or deviceis not recognised whenconnecting to the USBport.
Some hard disks and devices need a power supply greater than is
provided by the audio system. Connect the device to the 230 V socket, the 12 V socket or an external power supply.
Caution
:
ensure that the device does not transmit
a voltage greater than 5 V (risk of destruction of
the system).
When streamin
g, the sound cuts momentarily. Some telephones prioritise connection of the "hands-free" profi le. Delete the "hands-free" connection profi le to

audio system switches off after a few minutes of use. When the en
gine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio s
ystem switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's en
gine to increase the batterycharge.

The message "the audio system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation i
f the surrounding temperature is too
high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode
leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
