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.

With the engine off, the
system switches off after
a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on
the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the system 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.

Playback of my
u
SB
memory stick starts only
after a very long wait
(around 2 to 3 minutes). Some files supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down access
to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time\
).
Delete the files supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file
structure on the memory stick.
When I connect my
iPhone as telephone and
to the
u
SB port at the
same time, I am unable
to play the music files. When the iPhone connects automatically as a telephone, it forces the
streaming function. The streaming function takes the place of the
u
SB
function which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of t\
he
track being played with Apple
® players. Disconnect and reconnect to the u SB port (the
u
SB function takes priority over streaming).

Information and adviceOn a single disc, the CD player can read up to 255 MP3 files spread
over 8 folder levels with a maximum of 192 folders. However, it is
recommended that this be kept to 2 levels so as to limit the time taken \
to access and play the CD.
During play, the folder structure is not observed.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording
it is preferable to select standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be played correctl\
y.
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.
Do not connect a hard disk or
u SB device other than audio players to
the
u SB port. This may cause damage to your installation.
The audio system will only play files with ".mp3", ".wma" and ".wav" on
a CD and can play files with ".ogg" extension only on USB.

The playlists accepted on CD, MP3, iPod and
u SB connection are
types ".m3u" and ".wpl".
The number of files recognised is limited to 5 000 in 500 folders on a
maximum of 8 levels.
