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

tection .
The media drives do not play fi les that are pro

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 .
