Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a
data medium unusable. Please observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duced by different manufacturers can lead to
problems during playback. Please observe copyright laws.
The unit may be unable to read individual
tracks or the entire data medium due to the
data medium configuration or the devices
and programs used for recording. Informa-
tion can be found on the Internet on the best
ways to create audio files and data media
(compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
The reading time may vary considerably de-
pending on the condition of the data medium

ture and file type.Playlists only determine a certain playing or-
der.

There are no files stored in a playlist. The
unit will not play a playlist if the files are not
stored on the data medium at the locations
referred to by the playlist (relative file paths). Note
● Do not use memory card adapters.
● SEAT assumes no liability for any deteriora-
tion or loss of files on data storage devices. 24
