Notes and restrictions
Only audio files readable through the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface will bedisplayed, played and managed in the radio system.
In the case of MTP players, it may take a few minutes before the device isready for playback – depending on the battery status and the quantity ofdata.

31Audio mode●When playing large capacity hard discs with several files and a complexdata structure (several folders and subfolders, non-playable files, etc.) itmay take some time to read the audio files. The reaction time may also beinfluenced by the connected device.
●
WMA (Windows Media Audio) audio files can only be played if they arenot protected by authors' rights with the DRM (Digital Rights Management)system.
●
Generally, files with anti-copy protection cannot be played (e.g. M4P).
●
It is not possible to play files in 3GP format or “WMA lossless” files.Check there are no MP3 files stored in the playlist. A playlist only defines acertain order of play. If a playlist cannot be played, check that the “relativepaths” are correct, i.e. that the MP3 files on the data medium are actuallystored at the locations referenced by the playlist.
If an external data medium is divided into several partitions, only the firstpartition with compatible audio files will be played.
Please refer to further limitations and notes on the requirements placed onmedia sources ⇒ page 21.
WARNING●The connected audio devices must be protected from possible me-chanical damage and other kind of wear.●

●
The connection of USB devices is sensitive to interference from mo-bile telephones. Mobile telephones should not be left next to the USBwhen this is connected, to prevent distortion.
●
The connected audio devices must be protected from possible me-chanical damage and other kind of wear.
●
Objects which are not secured in the vehicle compartment may inter-fere with driving and could result in serious injury.
WARNING (Continued)●The external data device should never be left on the dash panel. Asharp manoeuvre can throw the device towards the compartment and in-jure the vehicle passengers.
●
The external data device should never be mounted in the vicinity ofthe airbag. If an airbag is activated it can project the device towards thecompartment and injure the vehicle passengers.
●
The external data device must not be held in hand or on the legswhile driving. A sharp manoeuvre can throw the device towards the com-partment and injure the vehicle passengers.
●
Place the external data device cables so that they are not in the waywhile driving.
CAUTION
Make sure that the adapter lead is not pinched or severely bent. This candamage the adapter lead and cause functional faults.
Note
