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 .

However, in some cases, the additional informa
tion may not be displayed.

protection against loss of data on mobi le de

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.

ty classes 1 to 4 in accordance with DIN IEC 76
