Notes and instructions for handling external sources
It is possible to play back external audio sources in the vehicle via the device.
A different audio source can be selected on the device at any time. As long as the
external audio source is not switched off, it always remains active in the back-
ground.
See the owner's manual of the specific manufacturer for instructions on operat-
ing the external audio source.
If a multimedia input is also connected, the Audio menu will display the MDI
se-
lection button instead of the AUX selection button. It is important to note that an
audio source connected to the AUX-IN input can only be played if no volume is
connected to the multimedia input.
Conditions for a successful connection External audio sources are connected via the AUX-IN input using a 3.5 mm stand-
ard jack plug. If the external audio source does not have this jack plug, you must
use an adapter.
› Only USB devices with the specification 2.0 can be connected.
› The version of the file allocation table FAT (File Allocation Table) of the connec-
ted device must be FAT16 ( <2 GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB).
› In order to replay from a unit with a hard disk (HDD) which includes a large data
volume, it can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music data.
› In order to replay from a unit, which includes a complicated folder structure, it
can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music data.
› The folder structure in the connected unit must not exceed a depth of 8 levels.
A folder may not contain more than 1 000°files.
› A USB extension cable or USB distributor (HUB) must not be used to connect
the unit.
Adapter
A special adapter is required to connect audio sources via the MDI input.
We recommend that you purchase an adapter for connecting USB devices, devi-
ces with Mini USB output or an iPod, from ŠKODA original accessories.
Adjust the play function volume of the external audio source
The playback volume of the external audio source can be adjusted via the volume
control on the device.
Depending on the connected audio source, the output volume on the external au-
dio source can be changed.
You can also change the input sensitivity of the external audio source in order to adapt the playback volume of the external audio source to that of the other audio sources or to avoid distortions.WARNING■ Never place external sources on the dashboard. These could be thrown into
the passenger compartment during sudden driving manoeuvres, injuring the
occupants.■
Never place external sources close to the airbags. These could be thrown in-
to the passenger compartment when the airbags are deployed, injuring the
occupants.
■
Never hold external sources in your hand or on your knees while driving.
These could be thrown into the passenger compartment during sudden driv- ing manoeuvres, injuring the occupants.
■
Always route the connection cable of the external source such that it does
not restrict you when driving.
CAUTION
The AUX-IN input may only be used for audio sources!
Note
■ See the owner's manual of the specific manufacturer for instructions on operat-
ing the external source.■
