QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between
the different audio
sources (radio, C
d ...).For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume,
b ass, Treble,
a

mbience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources,
which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio,
C
d ...). Check that the audio settings (Volume,
b ass,
Treble,
a

mbience, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the
a

U d I o functions ( b ass, Treble, Front-Rear
b

alance, Left-Right b alance) to the middle
position, select the musical ambience "
n one" and
set the loudness correction to the "
a ctive" position
in C
d mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio
mode.

d is ejected
automatically or is not
played by the player. The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any

.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not
recognised by the audio equipment. -

Check that the C

right way up.

be played if it is too damaged.
-

Check the content in the case of a recorded

QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2

seconds in radio mode.
d
uring this brief sound cut-out, the R d S searches for any frequency
permitting better reception of the station.
d

eactivate the R d S function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off,
the audio equipment
switches off after a
few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment 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.
The message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is t\
oo
high, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protection
mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of \
the C
d . Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
