The

settings
 
(Ambience, Bass, Treble
 
and
 
Loudness) are
different
 
and
 
independent
 
for
 
each
 
sound
 
source.
The
 
settings
 
for
 
distribution
 
and

are

all
 
sources.
The
 
distribution
 
(or
 
spatialisation
 
using
 
the
 
Arkamys© system) of
 
sound
 
is
 
an
 
audio
 
process
 
that
 
allows
 
the

quality   to   be  
adapted

 
to
 
the
 
number

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.

CD, MP3
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   advice   in   the   "AUDIO"   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.

With
 
the
 
engine
 
off,
 
the
 
system

 
switches
 
off
 
after
 
a

 
few
 
minutes
 
of

the
 
system's
 
operating
 
time
 
depends
 
on

is
 
normal:
 
the
 
system
 
switches
 
to

Information and adviceOn   a   single   disc,   the   CD   player   can   read   up   to   255   MP3   files   spread  
over

  8   directory   levels.   However,   it   is   recommended   that   this   be   kept  
to

  2   levels   so   as   to   limit   the   time   taken   to   access   and   play   the   CD.
During
  play,   the   folder   structure   is   not   observed.
In
  order   to   be   able   to   play   a   recorded   CDR   or   CDRW,   when   recording  
it

  is   preferable   to   select   standards   ISO   9660   level   1.2   or   Joliet.
If
  the   disc   is   recorded   in   another   format,   it   may   not   be   played   correctly.
It
  is   recommended   that   the   same   recording   standard   is   always   used  
for

  an   individual   disc,   with   as   low   a   speed   as   possible   (4x   maximum)  
for

  optimum   sound   quality.
In
  the   particular   case   of   a   multi-session   CD,   the   Joliet   standard   is  
recommended.
Do

  not   connect   a   hard   disk   or   USB   device   other   than   audio   players   to  
the

  USB   port.  
This
  may   cause   damage   to   your   installation.
The
  audio   system   will   only   play   files   with   extension   ".mp3"   or   ".wma"  
and

  a   compression   rate   that   is   constant   or   variable   between   32   Kbps  
and

  320   Kbps.
It
  is   advisable   to   restrict   file   names   to   20   characters   without   using  
special

  characters   (e.g.   "   ? ;   ù)   to   avoid   any   playing   or   displaying  
problems.
The

  playlists   accepted   are   types   .m3u   and   .pls.
The
  number   of   files   is   limited   to   5   000   in   500   directories   on   a  
maximum

  of   8   levels.
