The audio equipment will only play audio files with ".wma, .aac, .flac, .ogg  and   .mp3"   file   extensions   and   with   a   bit   rate   of   between   32   Kbps  
and

  320   Kbps.
It
  also   supports   VBR   (Variable   Bit   Rate)   mode.
No
  other   type   of   file   (.mp4,   .m3u...)   can   be   played.
WMA
 

files   must   be   of   the   standard   wma   9   type.
The
  sampling   rates   supported   are   greater   than   32   KHz.
It
  is   advisable   to   restrict   file   names   to   20   characters,   without   using   of  
special

  characters   (e.g.:   "   "   ?   ;   ù)   to   avoid   any   playing   and   displaying  
problems.
In

  order   to   be   able   to   play   a   recorded   CDR   or   CDRW,   when   recording  
it

  is   preferable   to   select   the   ISO   9660   level   1,   2   or   Joliet   standard.
If
  the   disc   is   recorded   in   another   format   (udf, ...),   it   may   not   be   played  
correctly

.
It
  is   recommended   that   the   same   recording   standard   is   always   used  
for

  an   individual   disc,   with   as   low   a   speed   as   possible   (4x   maximum)  
for

  optimum   sound   quality.
In
  the   particular   case   of   a   multi-session   CD,   the   Joliet   standard   is  
recommended.Information and advice

  system   supports   USB   mass   storage   or   iPod  
devices

  via   the   USB   port   (suitable   cable   not   supplied).

  a   partitioned   USB   memory   key   is   connected   to   the  
system,

  only   the   first   partition   is   recognised.

system
  controls.
The
  number   of   tracks   is   limited   to   2000   maximum,  

999

  tracks   per   folder.

  the   current   consumption   at   the   USB   port   exceeds  
500

  mA,   the   system   goes   into   protection   mode   and  
deactivates

  the   port.

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

in

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.
