With Sound Staging, the driver and passengers are immersed in an
"audio scene" recreating the natural atmosphere of an auditorium:
truly a part of the scene and its surroundings.
This new sensation is made possible by software in the audio
system which processes the digital signals from the media players
(radio, CD, MP3…) without changing the audio settings. This
processing takes account of the characteristics of the passenger
compartment to produce optimum results.
The Arkamys
© software installed in your audio system processes
the digital signal from the media players (radio, CD, MP3, ...) and
recreates a natural musical scene, with harmonious placement of
instruments and voices in the space in front of passengers, level
with the windscreen.

CD
Information and adviceOn a given disc, the CD player can read up to 255 MP3 files spread
over 8 levels. However, it is advisable to keep to a limit of two levels to
reduce the access time before the CD is played.
The folder structure is not observed during playback.
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 a given 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.
The audio system can only play files with ".mp3", ".wma" or ".wav"
extensions.
A high compression level can degrade the sound quality.
Playlists accepted are types .m3u and .pls.
The system can recognise up to 5 000 files in 500 folders on 8 levels. It is advisable to restrict file names to 20 characters without using
special characters (e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying
problems.
