Some files supplied with the memory stick may 
greatly slow down access to reading the memory 
stick (multiplication by 10 of the cataloguing 
time).
► 
Delete the files supplied with the memory 
stick and limit the number of sub-folders in the 
file structure on the memory stick. 
Some characters in information about the 
currently playing media are not displayed

Ambient noise affects the quality of the 
telephone call. ►
 
Increase the volume of the audio system, to 
maximum if required, and increase the volume of 
the telephone if necessary
 .
►  
Reduce ambient noise (close windows, 
reduce ventilation, slow down, etc.).
The contacts are not listed in alphabetical 
order
 .
Some telephones offer display options. 
Depending on the settings chosen, contacts can

Selecting an ambience imposes the treble and 
bass settings, and vice versa.
►
 
Modify the treble and bass or ambience 
settings to obtain the desired musical ambience.
There is a difference in sound quality 
between audio sources.
T
o allow for optimal listening quality, the sound 
settings can be tailored to different audio 
sources, which can generate audible differences 
when changing source.

secondary page.
Press "Band" to select "DAB band". 
Press in the shaded area to confirm. 
FM-DAB Follow-up
"DAB" does not cover 100% of the territory.
When the digital radio signal is poor, the

listening to the same station by automatically 
switching to the corresponding "FM" analogue 
station (if there is one).
Press Radio Media to display the main 
page.
Press the "OPTIONS " button to go to the 
secondary page.
Activate/deactivate "FM-DAB Follow-up ". 
Press in the shaded area to confirm.

may be a time offset of a few seconds 
when the system switches to "FM" analogue 
radio, and in some cases a change in volume.
When the digital signal quality is restored, the 
system automatically changes back to "DAB".
To minimise this time lag, storing radio 
stations in the "DAB" band is recommended.
If the "DAB" station being listened to is 
not available on "FM", or if "FM-DAB 
Follow-up" is not activated, the sound will cut 
out when the digital signal becomes too weak.
Media
USB port
Insert the USB memory stick into the USB 
port or connect the USB device to the 
USB port using a suitable cable (not supplied).
To protect the system, do not use a USB  hub.
The system builds playlists (in temporary 
memory); this operation can take from a 
few seconds to several minutes at the first 
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the 
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
Playlists are updated whenever the ignition 
is switched off or a USB memory stick is 
connected. The audio system memorises these 
lists, which will subsequently load faster if they 
have not been changed.
Auxiliary (AUX) jack socket
Depending on equipmentConnect a portable device (MP3 player, 
etc.) to the auxiliary jack socket using an 
audio cable (not supplied).
This source is only available if "Auxiliary input" 
has been selected in the audio settings.
First adjust the volume on the portable device 
(to a high level). Then adjust the volume of the 
audio system.
Controls are managed via the portable device.
