memory stick in the US b player or connect the
US b peripheral to the US b port using a suitable
cable (not supplied).
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"

"Auto. Volume" depending on road speed ( a ctivate/ d eactivate)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.
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.

QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
Some characters in the
media information are not
displayed correctly while
playing. The audio system does not display some types of characters.

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

The quality of reception
of the radio station
listened to gradually
deteriorates or the stored
stations do not function
(no sound, 87.5

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.
a

ctivate the "R d S" 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...) blo\
ck
reception, including in R
d S 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 a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a CITR
o Ë n 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.
