Media
Introduction
There are various media drives and connections
avai lable in the MMI. You can play, for example,
audio/video files from the Jukebox* or connect
your mobile device to the Audi mus ic interface*
and operate it through the MMI.
Notes
General information
Media and format restrictions:
the MMI (includ
ing the SD card reader and the USB storage de
vice connection*) was tested with 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 w ith restrictions or may not
play at all.
Digital Rights Management: please note that
the audio/video files are subject to copyright pro
tection .
The media drives do not play fi les that are pro
tected by ORM and that are ident ified with the
symbol
l'.D .
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/fo lders/play lists
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
dio/video files*. To decrease the t i me it takes to
load audio/v ideo files*, create subfolders (for ex
ample, fo r the art ist or album). The loading time
will also increase when importing fi les.
Additional information : when playing, audio
files are automatically displayed w ith any add i
tional information that is stored (such as the ar
tist, track and album cover). If this information is
not available o n the storage med ium, the MMI
will check the Grace note metadata database .
Media
However, in some cases, the additional informa
tion may not be displayed.
Restricted functionality : reset the Media set

protection against loss of data on mobi le de
v ices that are used to access the Internet
through the Wi-Fi hotspot.
CD/DVD operation
CD/DVD and format restrictions:
the functionali
ty of individual storage media may be limited due
to the variety of blank CDs/DVDs availab le and
the various capacities. Audio CDs or video DVDs
with copy protection, CDs/DVDs that do not con
form to the standard and mult isess ion CDs may
have limited playback or may not play at all . Audi
recommends finaliz ing t he recording process
whe n creat ing mult isess ion CDs. Mult isession is
not supported for DVDs .
Using CDs /DVDs, the CD drive or the DVD drive :
to ensure correct, high-quality playback and to
prevent damage to the drive or disc reading er
ro rs, always store CDs/DVDs in a protective
s leeve and do not expose them to direct sunlight.

Media
protection switch is installed to protect the CD/
DVD and the laser.
L aser dev ices: laser dev ices are d iv ided into safe
ty classes 1 to 4 in accordance with DIN IEC 76
(CO) 6/VDE 0837. The various types of audio
equipment installed conform to safety class
l.
The laser uses so little power or is sh ielded so
there is no danger when it is used correctly.
