The tuner attempts to switch to an alterna­
tive frequency of the current station when the re­
ception quality becomes weaker. When the re­
ception is lost in the FM or DAB* waveband, the
system will automatically (in the background)
switch to an alternative station, if there is one
available.

switched off. The current frequency will be main­

tained,

fre­

quency function is automatically switched on
again when the station is changed.

Introduction
The MMI system includes various media drives
and provides various options for connecting
devi­

ces.
For example, you can play audio/video* files
from the jukebox* or connect mobile devices to
the Audi music interface* and operate it via the

MMI.

Notes
General information
Media and format limitations: The MMI system
(including the SD card reader and the connection

for
the USB mass storage device*) has been tes­
ted for use with many of the products and media
currently available on the market. However,
there may be some devices/media and audio/vid­

eo*
files that are not supported or cannot be

played,
or the functionality may be limited under
certain circumstances.
Digital rights management: Please note that
copyright Law applies to audio/video* files.
The MMI media drives do not support DRM-pro-
tected files; these files are marked with the sym­
bol S.
Data storage: Never store important data on SD

cards,
the jukebox*, CDs/DVDs or mobile devices.
AUDI AC shall not accept any liability whatsoever

for
the loss of files and media.
Loading times: The more files, folders or play­
lists are stored on a storage device, the longer it
will take to load the audio files/video* files. We
recommend using a storage device which
con­

tains only audio/video* files. If
you
want to re­
duce the time it takes to load the audio/video*

files,
you can create subfolders (e.g. for an artist
or album). The loading time will be extended ad­
ditionally if
you
are importing data.
Metadata: Metadata stored on audio files (e.g.
artists, tracks, album covers) will be displayed
automatically when the files are played. If this
information is not stored on the relevant medi­

um,
the MMI system will use the database of
metadata from Gracenote. Nevertheless, meta­
data may not be displayed in some cases.
Restricted performance: If
you
experience re­
stricted performance, reset the Media settings
to the factory defaults
^page
256.
If
you
experience restricted performance from
the Jukebox*, reset it to the factory settings

ported media and file formats, please refer to

CAUTION
Please always observe the information

Wi-Fi hotspot on page 202.
CD/DVD mode
CD/DVD and format limitations: In view of the
variety of CDs/DVDs and the difference in memo­
ry capacities, the functionality may be restricted
in the case of some storage devices. Under cer­
tain circumstances, audio CDs/video DVDs that
are copy-protected or CDs/DVDs that do not com­
ply with the standard audio format, and multi-
session CDs cannot be played at all, or the func­
tionality may be limited. We recommend always
finalising the burning process when creating

multisession
CDs. Multisession is not supported
for DVDs.
Handling CDs/DVDs, the CD drive or the DVD

drive:
To ensure perfect, high-quality playback
and avoid scanning errors or damage to the me­
dia drive, always store CDs/DVDs in a suitable
case and do not expose them to direct sunlight.
Do not use:
- Damaged, dirty or scratched CDs/DVDs
- Single CDs/DVDs (diameter 8 cm)
- Non-circular CDs/DVDs (shape CDs)
- CDs/DVDs with stickers
- Protective rings
- Cleaning discs
Thermal cut-out: In the case of unusually hot or
cold outside temperatures, it is possible that CD/
DVD playback will temporarily not be possible. A •

thermal cut-out is installed to protect the CD/

Laser devices: Laser devices are divided into the
safety classes 1 to 4, as specified by DIN
IEC
76
(CO) 6/VDE 0837. The optical readers installed in
your vehicle are classified as safety class 1. La­
sers used in devices that fall into this category
are very weak and well screened, so there is no
danger if used correctly.
