The device allows you to play audio files in various formats and to connect differ-
ent source types » page 19.
When the source has been connected, the device starts to automatically play au- dio files in alphabetical order.
WARNING■ Never place external sources on the console panel. They could be thrown in-
to the passenger compartment during sudden driving manoeuvres, thereby in-
juring the occupants.■
Never place external sources close to the airbags. They could be thrown into
the passenger compartment when the airbags are deployed, injuring the oc-
cupants.
■
Never hold external sources in your hand or on your knees while driving.
They could be thrown into the passenger compartment during sudden driving
manoeuvres, thereby injuring the occupants.
■
Always route the connection cable for the external source such that it does
not restrict you when driving.
CAUTION
Do not store any important data on CDs, Bluetooth ®
players, SD memory cards or
connected external sources. ŠKODA assumes no responsibility for lost or dam-
aged files or connected devices.

The name of the artist, the album and the title of the played file can be displayed
if the information is available as a so-called ID3 tag. If no ID3 tag is available, only the folder name is displayed.
To ensure good quality sound, we recommend a minimum compressed bitrate of
160 kb/s for MP3 files. For audio files with variable bitrates, the indicated remain-
ing playback time does not correspond to the actual remaining playback time.
WMA files can only be played when not copyrighted by DRM. These kinds of WMAfiles are not supported by the device.
The more files, folders or playlists on one source, the longer it will take to read
the source. It is a good idea to create subfolders with files (e.g. by artist or album
names) in order to save time.

The device can be used to play audio files saved on a CD.
The internal drive can only be used to play audioCDs (CD-A), CD-Rs and CD-RWs.
Inserting›With the labelled side facing up, insert a CD into the CD slot 12 » Fig. 1 on page 5
until it is automatically drawn in. The play function will start automatically.
Ejecting›
Press the button – the CD is ejected.
If the ejected CD is not removed within 10 seconds, it is retracted again for safety
reasons. The play function will not start automatically.
WARNINGThe CD player is a laser product. On the manufacturing date, this unit was classified as a class 1 laser product in accordance with the national/interna-
tional standards DIN EN 60825-1: 2008-05 and DHHS Rules 21 CFR,
Subchapter J classified as a class 1 laser product. The laser beam used in this
class 1 laser product is so weak that it poses no risk when operated correctly.
This product is designed such that the laser beam is restricted to the inside of
the device. However, this does not mean that the integrated laser could be
classified as a higher class laser product were the housing to be removed. For
this reason, never remove the housing from the device.
CAUTION
■ Never place DVDs into the internal drive, as this may cause irreparable damage
to the device.■
Never insert CDs with the designation “ Do not insert in drives without a draw-
er ” into the internal drive or use “ EcoDiscs” in the internal drive.
■
After pressing the button , there is a delay of a few seconds before the CD is
ejected. During this time, the barrier to the CD slot is open.
■
Be sure to wait until the CD has been fully ejected before you try to insert a new
CD. Failure to do so can cause damage to the device drive.
■
If the CD has mechanical damage, is not readable or is inserted incorrectly, the
following message is displayed: CD functionality is restricted. Check the CD and
insert it properly into the drive. If the message is displayed again, try using anoth-
er CD or visit a specialist garage if necessary.
■
If the inside temperature of the device is too high, no CDs will be accepted. The
device switches to the last active operating mode.
■
Never use liquids such as benzine, paint thinner or record cleaner to clean the
surface of the CD, as this may cause damage.

■Never expose the CD to direct sunlight.■Only write on the CD with appropriate writing tools.■
Do not stick anything to the CD!
Note
■Poor or unpaved road surfaces and severe vibrations may cause the CD to jump.■Damp (condensation) may affect the device in cold weather or after showers.
This can lead to playback jumps or impair the play function. In such cases, wait
until the moisture has dissipated.■
If a CD is dirty, it should never be cleaned using a circular motion, but rather
from the inside out. Use a soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning. In the case of heavy
contamination, we recommend cleaning the CD with a standard CD cleaner and
leaving to dry.
■
In certain circumstances, CDs protected by copyright or self-made CD-Rs and
CD-RWs may not play, or may only play to a limited extent.
■
The national copyright laws that apply in your country must be observed.

SD memory card empty or data not readable
If an SD memory card is inserted and no data or no legible data has been stored
on the card, the device will not be switched to the SD memory card mode after
loading.
Due to differing quality requirements from different card manufacturers, it is not
always possible to guarantee the playback from SD memory cards.
It may not be possible to play some or all files on the SD memory card, or their
playback may be limited.
CAUTION
■ Only use one-part SD memory cards. If using an SD memory card with an adapt-
er (multipart SD memory cards), vehicle vibrations can cause the SD memory card can fall out of the adapter while driving, and individual card parts can remainstuck in the device.■
We recommend using SD memory cards of class 4 and higher. This guarantees
the fastest possible access to the audio files.
■
Always store the SD cards in suitable cases to protect them from dirt, dust and
other forms of damage.
