QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
Playback of my USB 
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 a telephone and to 
the USB 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 USB function which is then not useable, there is a period 
without sound of the track being played with Apple
® players.
Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port 
(the USB function takes priority over streaming).
The CD is ejected 
automatically or is not 
played by the player. The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any 
audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play.
- 
Check that the CD is inserted in the player 
the right way up.
-  Check the condition of the CD: the CD 
cannot be played if it is too damaged.
-   Check the content in the case of a recorded CD: 
refer to the advice in the "AUDIO" section.
-  The audio system's CD player does not play 
DVDs.
-  Some recorded CDs will not be played by 
the audio system because they are not of the 
correct quality.
The CD has been recorded in a format that is not compatible with the player (udf, ...).
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is 
not recognised by the audio system.
There is a long waiting 
period following the insertion 
of a CD or connection of a 
USB memory stick. When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain 
amount of data (directory, title, artist, etc.). This may take from a few 
seconds to a few minutes.
This phenomenon is normal.

Receiving TA messages
RDS Displaying RADIO TEXT
The TA (Traffic Announcement) 
function gives priority to TA alert 
messages. To operate, this function 
needs good reception of a radio station 
transmitting this type of message. 
When a traffic report is transmitted, 
the current audio source (Radio, CD, 
USB, ...) is interrupted automatically to 
play the TA message. Normal playback 
of the audio source resumes at the end 
of the transmission of the message.
RDS, if activated, enables you to continue 
listening to the same station by automatic 
retuning to alternative frequencies. 
However, in certain conditions, coverage 
of an RDS station may not be assured 
throughout the country as radio stations 
do not cover 100 % of the territory. This 
explains the loss of reception of the 
station during a journey.
Radio text is information transmitted by 
the radio station related to the current 
programme or song.
With source FM1 or FM2, press 
MENU . With the radio displayed on the 
screen, press MENU

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.
It is recommended that file names be of no 
more than 20 characters and avoiding special 
characters (ex : " ? ; ù) so as to avoid any 
problem reading or displaying the files.
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 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
Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT32 
(File Allocation Table).The use of genuine Apple
® USB cables 
is recommended to ensure correct 
operation.
On 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.
Do not connect a hard disk or USB device other 
than audio players to the USB port. This may 
cause damage to your installation.
The playlists accepted on CD, MP3, iPod and 
USB 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.

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