Media
Introduction
There are various media drives and connections
available in the MM!. You can play, for example,
audio/video files from the Jukebox* or connect
your mobile device to the Audi music interface*
and operate it through the MM!.
Notes
General information
Media and format restrictions: the MMI (includ
ing the SD card reader and th e USB storage de
vice
connecti on*) was tested w it h a variety of
products and media on the market. However,
there may be cases where individual devices or
media and audio/video* files may not be recog
n ized,
may play only with restrictions or may not
play at all.
Digital Rights Management: please note that
the audio/video* files are subject to copyright
protection.
The
media drives do not play files that are pro
tected by ORM and that are identified with the
symbol~.
Data security: never store important data on SD
cards, the Jukebox*, CDs/DVDs or mobile devices.
Audi
AG is not responsible for damaged or lost
files and media.
Loading times: the more files/folders/playlists
that are on a storage medium, the longer it will
take to load the audio/video files*. Audi recom
mends using storage media that only contain au
d io/video files*. To decrease the time it takes to
load audio/video files*, create subfolders (for ex
ample, for the artist or album). The loading time
will also increase when importing files.
Additional information: when playing, audio
files are automatically displayed with any addi
tional information that is stored (such as the ar
tist, track and album cover). If this information is
not available on the storage medium, the MMI
will check
the Gracenote metadata database .
Media
However, in some cases, the additional informa
tion may not be displayed.
Restricted functionality: reset the Media set
tings to the factory default settings if functional
ity is restricted r:!> page 166.
Reset the Jukebox* to the factory default set
tings if functionality is restricted~ page 166.
For information about the properties of support
ed media and file formats, refer tor:!> page 157.
CD/DVD mode
CD/DVD and format restrictions: the functionali
ty of in dividual storage media may be limited due
to the variety of blank CDs/DVDs avai lable and
t h e various
capacities. Audio CDs or video DVDs
with copy protection, CDs/DVDs that do not con
form to the standard and multisession CDs may
have limited playback or may not play at all. Audi
recommends finalizing the recording process
when creating multisession CDs. Multisession is
not supported for DVDs.
Using CDs /DVDs, the CD dri ve o r the DVD drive:
to ensure correct, high-quality playback and to
prevent damage to the drive or disc reading er
rors, always store CDs/DVDs in a protective
sleeve and do not expose them to direct sunlight.
Do not use:
-Damaged, dirty or scratched CDs/DVDs
-Single CDs/DVDs (3 inch/8 cm diameter)
-CD/DVDs that are not round
-CDs/DVDs with labels
- Protective rings
-
Cleaning CDs
Thermal protection switc h : CD/DVD playback
may be temporarily unavailable if outside tem
peratures are extremely hot or cold. A thermal
protection switch is installed to protect the CD/
DVD and the laser.
Laser
devices: laser devices are divided into safe
ty classes 1 to 4 in accordance with DIN IEC 76
(CO) 6/VDE 0837. The optical readers that are in
stalled conform to safety class 1. Lasers in this
class are very weak and well shielded, so there is
no
danger if used correctly.
