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.

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.

Information and advice
The audio system will only play files with
extension ".mp3" or ".wma" and a compression
rate that is constant or variable between
32
Kbps and 320 Kbps.
It is advisable to restrict file names to
20
characters without using special characters
(e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying
problems.
The playlists accepted are types .m3u and .pls.
The number of files is limited to 5 000 in
500
directories on a maximum of 8 levels.On a single disc, the CD player can
read up to 255 MP3 files spread
over 8 directory levels. 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. 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.
Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT32
(File Allocation Table).
Do not connect a hard disk or USB
device other than audio players to the
USB port. This may cause damage to
your installation.
