The system builds playlists (in temporary
memory), an operation which can take from
a few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The playlists are updated every time the ignition
is switched off or connection of a USB memory
stick. However, the system memorises these
lists and if they are not modified, the loading
time will be shorter.
Play starts automatically after a period which
depends on the capacity of the US
b memory
stick. Selection of source
The SOURCE button on the steering mounted controls allows a
direct change to the next media source. "CD / CD MP3"
"USB, iPod"

"RADIO"
Press MUSIC to display the "MEDIA"
menu.
Select "Following media source " and
confirm.
Repeat the operation as many times as necessary to obtain the
desired media source (except for radio which is accessible either

The distribution (or spatialisation using the
a

rkamys
© system) of sound
is an audio process that allows the audio quality to be adapted to the
number of listeners in the vehicle.
o
n-board audio: a rkamys
© 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
a
rkamys
© software installed in your audio system processes
the digital signal from the media players (radio, C d , 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.

a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on
the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode and
switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
Playback of my US
b
memory stick starts only
after a very long wait
(around 2 to 3 minutes). Some files supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down access
to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time\
).
Delete the files supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file
structure on the memory stick.
