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 b
y 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.

Pla
yback of my USB memory stick starts only
after a very long wait (around 2 to 3 minutes).
Some fi les supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down access
to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time). Delete the fi les supplied with the memory stickand limit the number of sub-folders in the fi le structure on the memory stick.

When I connect myiPhone as telephone and
to the USB port at thesame time, I am unable
to play the music fi les. When the iPhone connects automaticall
y as a telephone, it forces the
streaming function. The streaming function takes the place of the USBfunction which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of the
track being played with AppleÆ players.Æ
Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port(the USB function takes priority over streaming).

When I connect myApple Æ player or my Æ
BlackBerryÆ to theÆ
USB port, I have alert messages on the currentconsumption by the USBport. When char
ging, the current consumption of these smartphones is greater
than the rating of the USB port, which is 500 mA.
