QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources (radio, CD, etc.). For optimum sound quality, the audio settings
(volume, bass, treble, ambience, loudness)
can be adapted to the different sound sources,
which may result in audible differences when
changing source (radio, CD, etc.).Check that the audio settings (volume, bass,
treble, ambience, loudness) are adapted to
the sources being listened to. It is advisable to
set the AUDIO functions (bass, treble, front-
rear balance, left-right balance) to the middle
position, select the musical ambience and set
the loudness correction to the "Active" position
in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio
mode.
When changing the settings for treble and bass,
the ambience setting is deselected.
When changing the ambience setting, treble
and bass are reset to zero. Choosing an ambience imposes settings for
treble and bass. Modifying one without the other
is only possible with a


personalised ambienceModify the treble and bass settings or the
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound
quality.
When changing the balance setting, distribution
is deselected. Choosing the "driver" distribution setting
imposes a


balance setting.Modify the balance or distribution settings to
obtain the desired sound quality.
The reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the stored stations are
not working (no sound, 87.5
MHz is displayed,
e t c .) . The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of
the station or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
Activate the RDS function to enable the system
to check whether there is a
more power ful
transmitter in the geographical area.
The surroundings (hills, buildings, tunnels,
underground parking, etc.) are blocking
reception, including in RDS tracking mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not
indicate a
failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is missing or has been damaged (for
example when going through a
car wash or into
an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
