First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Important
notes .
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.
Note
See the owner's manual of the specific manufacturer for instructions on operat-
ing the external source.

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.

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.

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
