QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in 
sound quality between the 
different audio sources. 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. 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 
"Linear", musical ambience and set the loudness 
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or 
to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
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 state of charge of the battery.
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.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
An iPod is not recognised 
when connecting to the 
USB port. The iPod is of a generation that is not compatible with the USB 
connection.
The hard disk or device 
is not recognised when 
connecting to the USB 
port. Some hard disks and devices need a power supply greater than is 
provided by the audio system.
Connect the device to the 230 V socket, the 12 V 
socket or an external power supply.
Caution
: ensure that the device does not 
transmit a voltage greater than 5 V (risk of 
destruction of the system).
When streaming, the 
sound cuts momentarily. Some telephones prioritise connection of the "hands-free" profile.
Delete the "hands-free" connection profile to 
improve streaming.
In "Random all" play, not 
all of the tracks are played. In "Random all" play, the system can only take into account up to 
999
 tracks.

mode and switches off to prevent discharging the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery 
charge.
The message "the audio 
system is overheated" 
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature 
is too high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal 
protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of 
the playing of the CD. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to 
allow the system to cool.
