The
 
distribution   (or   spatialisation   using   the  
Arkamys© system) of sound is
 
an
 
audio
 
process
 
that
 
allows
 
the
 
audio
 
quality
 
to
 
be   adapted   to   the  
number

 
of
 
listeners
 
in
 
the
 
vehicle. On-board
  audio:  
Arkamys© Sound Staging.
With
 
Sound
 
Staging,
 
the
 
driver   and   passengers   are   immersed   in   an  
"audio

 
scene"
 
recreating
 
the   natural   atmosphere   of   an   auditorium:  
truly

 
a
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
scene
 
and   its   surroundings.
This
 
new
 
sensation
 
is
 
made   possible   by   software   in   the   audio   system  
which

 
processes
 
the
 
digital   signals   from   the   media   players   (radio,  
CD,

 
MP3…)
 
without
 
changing   the   audio   settings.  
This
  processing  
takes

 
account
 
of
 
the
 
characteristics   of   the   passenger   compartment   to  
produce

 
optimum
 
results.
The
 
Arkamys© 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.
The
 
audio
 
settings   (
Equalizer, Bass, Treble   and   Loudness) are
different
 
and
 
independent   for   each   sound   source.
The
 
settings
 
for   distribution   and   balance   are   common   to   all   sources.

Certain   traffic   jams  
along

 
the   route   are   not  
indicated

  in   real   time. On
  starting,   it   is   several   minutes   before   the   system   begins   to   receive   the  
traffic

  information. Wait
  until   the   traffic   information   is   being   received  
correctly

  (display   of   the   traffic   information   icons   on  
the

  map).
The
  filters   are   too   restrictive. Modify
  the   "Geographic   filter"   settings.
In
  certain   countries,   only   major   routes   (motorways...)   are   listed   for   the  
traffic

  information. This
  phenomenon   is   normal.  
The
  system   is  
dependent

  on   the   traffic   information   available.
The
 
altitude   is   not  
displayed. On

  starting,   the   initialisation   of   the   GPS   may   take   up   to   3   minutes   to  
receive

  more   than   4   satellites   correctly.Wait
  until   the   system   has   started   up   completely.  
Check

  that   there   is   a   GPS   coverage   of   at   least  
4 satellites

  (long   press   on   the   SETUP
 
button,   then  
select

  "GPS   coverage").
Depending
  on   the   geographical   environment   (tunnel...)   or   the   weather,  
the

  conditions   of   reception   of   the   GPS   signal   may   vary.This
  phenomenon   is   normal.  
The
  system  
is

  dependent   on   the   GPS   signal   reception  
conditions.
I

 
am
 
unable   to   connect  
my

 
Bluetooth   telephone. The
  telephone's   Bluetooth   function   may   be   switched   off   or   the   telephone  
may

  not   be   visible. -
 
Check
  that   your   telephone's   Bluetooth  
function

  is   switched   on.
-
 
Check
  in   the   telephone   settings   that   it   is  
"visible

  to   all".
The
  Bluetooth   telephone   is   not   compatible   with   the   system.You
  can   check   the   compatibility   of   your   telephone  
on

  www.citroen.co.uk   (services)
The
 
volume   of   the  
telephone

  connected  
in

 
Bluetooth   mode   is  
inaudible. The

  volume   depends   both   on   the   system   and   on   the   telephone.Increase
  the   volume   of   the   audio   system,   to  
maximum

  if   required,   and   increase   the   volume   of  
the

  telephone   if   necessary.
The
  ambient   noise   level   has   an   influence   on   the   quality   of   telephone  
communication.Reduce

  the   ambient   noise   level   (close   the   windows,
 reduce

  the   booster   fan   speed,   slow   down,   ...).

Some
 
contacts   are  
duplicated

  in   the   list. The
  options   for   synchronizing   contacts   are   synchronizing   the   contacts  
on

  the   SIM   card,   the   contacts   on   the   telephone,   or   both.   When   both  
synchronizations

  are   selected,   some   contacts   may   be   duplicated.Select
  "Display   SIM   card   contacts"   or   "Display  
telephone

The system does not receive SMS  text   messages.The Bluetooth mode does not permit sending SMS text messages to the system.
The
 
CD
 
is
 
ejected
 
automatically

 
or
 
is
 
not
 
played

 
by
 
the
 
player. The
  CD   is   inserted   upside   down,   is   unplayable,   does   not   contain   any  
audio

  data   or   contains   an   audio   format   which   the   player   cannot   play.-
 
Check that the CD is inserted in the player the right way  up.
- Check   the   condition   of   the   CD:   the   CD   cannot   be played
  if   it   is   too   damaged.
- Check  the   content   in   the   case   of   a   recorded   CD: refer
  to   the   information   and   advice   in   the   "MUSIC MEDIA 

PLAYERS"   section.
- The  audio   system's   CD   player   does   not   play   DVDs.
- Some  recorded   CDs   will   not   be   played   by   the   audio system
  because   they   are   not   of   the   correct   quality.
The CD has been recorded in a format that is not compatible with the player  (udf,   ...).
The
  CD   is   protected   by   an   anti-pirating   protection   system   which   is   not  
recognised

  by   the   audio   system.
There is a long waiting period  following   the   insertion of a C

d or connection of a
USB
  memory   stick.When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain amount of data  (directory,   title,   artist,   etc.).  This   may   take   from   a   few   seconds   to   a  
few

  minutes. This
  phenomenon   is   normal.
The
 
CD
 
player
 
sound
 
is
 
poor

. The
  CD   used   is   scratched   or   of   poor   quality. Insert
  good   quality   CDs   and   store   them   in   suitable  
conditions.
The

  audio   equipment   settings   (bass,   treble,   ambiences)   are   unsuitable. Set   the   treble   or   bass   level   to   0,   without   selecting  
an

  ambience.

Some
 
characters   in   the  
media

 
information   are   not  
displayed

  correctly   while  
playing. The

  audio   system   does   not   read   some   types   of   characters.Use
  standard   characters   to   name   tracks   and  
folders.
Playing

  of   streaming   files  
does

 
not   start. The
  peripheral   device   connected   does   not   support   automatic   play. Start   the   playback   from   the   device.
The
 
names   of   tracks   and  
the

 
track   length   are   not  
displayed

  on   the   screen  
when

 
streaming   audio. The
  Bluetooth   profile   does   not   allow   the   transfer   of   this   information.
The
 
quality   of   reception  
of

 
the
 
radio   station  
listened

  to   gradually  
deteriorates

  or   the   stored  
stations

  do   not   function  
(no

 
sound,   87.5 Mhz   is  
displayed...). The

  vehicle   is   too   far   from   the   transmitter   used   by   the   station   listened  
to

  or   there   is   no   transmitter   in   the   geographical   area   through   which   the  
vehicle

  is   travelling. Activate
  the   "RDS"   function   by   means   of   the  
short-cut

  menu   to   enable   the   system   to   check  
whether

  there   is   a   more   powerful   transmitter   in   the  
geographical

  area.
The
  environment   (hills,   buildings,   tunnels,   basement   car   parks...)   block  
reception,

  including   in   RDS   mode.This
  phenomenon   is   normal   and   does   not   indicate  
a

  fault   with   the   audio   system.
The
  aerial   is   absent   or   has   been   damaged   (for   example   when   going  
through

  an   automatic   car   wash   or   in   an   underground   car   park).Have
  the   aerial   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer.
I
 
cannot   find   some   radio  
stations in the list of
stations

  received. The
  station   is   not   received   or   its   name   has   changed   in   the   list.
Some
  radio   stations   send   other   information   in   place   of   their   name   (the  
title

  of   the   song   for   example).
The
  system   interprets   this   information   as   the   name   of   the   station.
The
 
name   of   the   radio  
station

  changes.

When
 
modifying   the  
treble

 
and   bass   setting,  
the

 
choice   of   ambience   is  
cancelled. The

  selection   of   an   ambience   imposes   specific   treble   and   bass   settings. Modify   the   treble   and   bass   settings   or   choose   a  
musical

  ambience   to   obtain   the   desired   sound  
quality

.
When
 
modifying   the  
ambience,

  the   treble  
and

 
bass   settings   are  
cancelled.
When

  distribution  
setting,

  the   balance  
settings

  are   cancelled.
There
 
is   a   difference   in  
sound

 
quality   between  
the
