CD, MP3 CD, USB player, auxiliary input
Insert the CD in the player, insert the USB
memory stick in the USB player or connect the
USB peripheral to the USB 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.Selection of source
The steering mounted SRC (source) button can be used to go to the
next media source, available if the source is active.
Press OK to confirm the selection.

The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert
messages. To operate, this function needs good reception of a
radio station transmitting this type of message. When a traffic report
is transmitted, the current audio source (Radio, CD, USB, ...) is
interrupted automatically to play the TA message. Normal playback
of the audio source resumes at the end of the transmission of the
message.

CONFIGURATION
- "Ambience" (choice of 6 musical ambiences)
- "Bass "
-
"Treble"
-
"Loudness" (Activate/Deactivate)

"Balance", "Driver ", "All passengers", "Front only "
-

-
"Volume linked to vehicle speed: " (Activate/Deactivate)
The audio settings ( Ambience, 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 Arkamys
© system)
of sound is an audio process that allows the audio quality to be
adapted to the number of listeners in the vehicle.
Available only with the 6-speaker configuration. 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.
Audio settings
Select "Audio settings ".
Press on Configuration
to display the primary
page.
Select "Ambience" or "Balance" or "Sound
effects " or "Ringtones" or "Voice".

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.
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.
Radio
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...) blo\
ck
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 a car wash or into 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.

ANSWER SOLUTION
Settings, configuration
In changing the setting
of treble and bass the
equalizer setting is
deselected. The selection of an equalizer setting imposes the balance settings.
Modifying one without the other is not possible.
Modify the balance or equalizer settings to obtain
the desired musical ambience.
In changing the equalizer
setting, treble and bass
return to zero.
When changing the
balance settings, the
distribution setting is
deselected. The selection of a distribution setting imposes the balance settings.
Modifying one without the other is not possible.
Modify the balance or distribution settings to
obtain the desired musical ambience.
When changing an
distribution setting,
the balance setting is
deselected.
There is a difference in
sound quality between
the different audio
sources (radio, CD...). For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Volume, Bass, Treble,
Equalizer and Loudness can be adapted to the different sound sources,
which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio,
CD...). Check that the audio settings for (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Equalizer, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the
AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Fr-Re balance,
Le-Ri balance) to the middle position, select the
"None", musical ambience and set the loudness
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or
to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
