››› page 23. Restrictions and notes
C
ont
amin
ation, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a
data medium unusable. Observe the manu-
facturer's instructions on the data medium.
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duced by different manufacturers may lead to
problems during playback.
Please observe copyright laws. CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format can-
not be pl
ayed. Under Windows Vista ®
ensure
that the correct format is selected.
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. Compatibil-
ity with all encoding/recording software, re-
cording devices and recording media cannot
be guaranteed. Information can be found on
the internet regarding the best ways to create
audio files and data media (compression
rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Due to the larger quantity of data, the unit
takes longer to read a data medium contain-
ing compressed audio files (MP3) than a
“normal” audio CD. Complex folder struc-
tures can also slow down the reading of a da-
ta medium.
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).

gional programmes may be interrupted.
OFF: No frequency change takes place. The fre-
quency tuned is active until reception is interrupted.
VOL ON-VOLUME : Regulating the maximum switch on
volume.
If the volume of the radio system, when switched off,
was greater than the limit set, the volume will be re-
duced to the value set.
If the volume of the radio system, when switched off,
was lower than this limit, the volume will not be modi-
fied.

SFOb)
: Service Following. If this setting is activated (ON)
and the reception of the DAB station selected gets
worse, this function automatically searches for another
channel in DAB with the same station.
DTPb) DAB-TP : This setting only affects the DAb station
currently selected if the TP function has already been ac-
tivated on the equipment (TP ON).
DTP OFF: Only FM traffic announcements (TA) in-
terrupt the current broadcast.
DTP ON: Both FM and DAB traffic announcements
interrupt the current broadcast.
FMLb) DAB-FM Link : If this setting is activated (ON)
and the reception of the DAB station selected gets
worse, and no other channel is available with the same
station, or when reception in DAB is deficient, this func-
tion automatically searches for another channel in the
FM band.
The change is not possible if the reception of the FM sta-
tion is deficient or the stations do not transmit informa-
tion that established the relationship between the DAB
and FM stations. In this case it is not a faulty radio oper-
ation.
If the DAB reception is recovered with greater quality
than the FM station it will switch back from FM to DAB.
a) It is not available everywhere or for all radio models.
b) They are only available for radio models with DAB.
Functional mode description of speed-de-
pendent volume adjustment (GALA)
The GALA function automatically adjusts the
volume in line with the speed of the vehicle. The degree to which the volume increases
with speed (GALA) i
s set on a scale between
1 and 7.
If a low value is set, the volume increases on-
ly slightly as the speed of the vehicle increa-
ses. At a high setting the volume increases
further. At 0, speed-dependent volume ad-
justment is switched off. 29

ket; this is in no way deceptive advertising.
The illustrations are intended as a general
guide and may vary from the equipment tted
in your vehicle in some details.
The steering indications (left, right, forward,
reverse) appearing in this manual refer to the
normal driving movements of the vehicle ex -
cept when otherwise indicated.
The equipment marked with an aster -
