The CD player can play files with .mp3, .wma,
.wav and .aac file extensions, with a bit rate of
of 32 to 320 Kbps.
It also supports TAG mode (ID3 tag, WMA TAG).
Other file types (mp4, ...) may be played.
Files of the ".wma" type should be to the
wma9
standard.
The sampling rates supported are 11, 22, 44
and 48 KHz.
Via the USB port, the system can play audio
files with the extension ".mp3, .wma, .wav, .cbr,
.vbr" with a bit rate of 32 to 320 Kbps.
No other file types (.mp4, ...) can be played.
Files of the ".wma" type should be to the
wma9
standard.
The sampling rates supported are 11, 22, 44
and 48 KHz.
File names should have less than
20
characters, avoiding special characters
(e.g.:
" ? ; ù) so as to avoid any reading or
display problems. In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or
CDRW, the ISO 9660 level 1. 2 or Joliet file
format is recommended when recording.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may
not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording
format 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 format is recommended.
Information and advice
To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
It is recommended that you use
genuine Apple
® USB cables for correct
operation. Use only USB memory sticks formatted
FAT32 (File Allocation Table).

The table below gives answers to the most frequently asked questions on your audio system.QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
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 state of charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy
mode and switches off to prevent discharging of 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 in volume or CD play
stopping. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
Frequently asked questions
QUESTION
ANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources
(radio, CD...). For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience and Loudness) can be adapted to the different
sound sources, which may result in audible differences when
changing source (radio, CD...). Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience and Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the
audio functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Balance
and Left-Right Balance) to the middle position,
select the musical ambience "None" and set the
loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD
mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The preset stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5
Mhz is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND button to return to the waveband
(FM, FM2, DAB, AM) on which the stations are
preset.
The traffic announcement
(TA) is displayed. I do
not receive any traffic
information. The radio station is not part of the regional traffic information
network.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.
The quality of reception of
the radio station listened
to gradually deteriorates
or the stored stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5
Mhz is displayed...). The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station
listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area
through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the RDS function to enable the system
to check whether there is a more power ful
transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, underground car parks...) block
reception, including in RDS mode.This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a fault in the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through an automatic car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a franchised dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2
seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for another
frequency giving better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.
