Information and advice
The audio system will only play files with extension ".mp3" or ".wma" and a
compression rate that is constant or variable
between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps.
File names should have less than 20
characters, avoiding special characters
(e.g.: “
? ; ù) so as to avoid any reading or
display problems.
Playlists accepted are types .m3u and
.pls.
The number of files is limited to 5 000 in 500
directories on a maximum of 8 levels.
On a single disc, the CD player can read
up to 255 MP3 files spread over 8
directory levels. However, it is recommended
that this be kept to 2 levels so as to limit the
time taken to access and play the CD.
The folder structure is not observed during
playback.
In order to be able to play a burned CDR
or CDRW, select standards ISO 9660
level 1, 2 or Joliet if possible when burning the
CD.
If the disc is burned in another format, it may not
be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same burning
standard is always used on an individual disc,
with the lowest speed possible (4x maximum) for
the best acoustic quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the
Joliet standard is recommended.
Do not connect a hard disk or USB
device other than audio players to the
USB port. This may cause damage to your
installation.
Playing a compilation
Insert an MP3 compilation in the CD player or
connect a memory stick to the USB port, directly
or via an extension lead.
The system creates playlists (temporary memory); this operation can take from a
few seconds to several minutes.
The playlists are updated every time the
ignition is switched off or a USB memory stick
is connected.
Play starts automatically after a certain
amount of time depending on the capacity of
the USB memory stick.
Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT
32 (File Allocation Table).
On first connection, the order suggested is
by folder. When connecting again, the order
previously chosen is retained.
To play a disc or memory stick which has already been inserted, press the SRC/
TEL button repeatedly and select " CD" or "USB".

in the vehicle.
The audio Ambience, Treble and Bass settings are different and

Onboard audio: Arkamys sound staging©.
With Sound Staging, the driver and the
passengers are immersed into a "sound
stage" recreating the natural atmosphere of a
theatre: truly centre stage in surround sound.
This new sensation is possible thanks to
the software installed in the radio which
processes the digital signals of the media
players (radio, CD, MP3...) without changing
the setting of the loudspeakers. This
process takes into account the features of

the passenger compartment for optimum
performance.
The Arkamys
© software installed in your audio
system processes the digital signals of all
the media players (radio, CD, MP3...) and
makes it possible to recreate a natural sound
setting, with a harmonious placement of the
instruments and voices in space, facing the
passengers, positioned at the height of the
windscreen.
Frequently asked
questions
The following information groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions
concerning your audio system.
There is a difference in sound quality
between the different audio sources (radio,
CD, etc.).
To allow for optimal listening quality, the audio
settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience,
Loudness) can be tailored to different sound
sources, which can generate audible differences
when changing source (radio, CD, etc.).
Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear
Fader, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position,
select the musical ambience "None" 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 not possible.
Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound
quality.
When changing the balance setting,
distribution is deselected.
Choosing a distribution setting imposes a
balance setting. Modifying one without the other
is not possible.
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, etc.).
1.The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of
the station or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
Activate the RDS mode and start a new search
for the station so that the system can check
whether a stronger transmitter is available in the
geographic area.
2.The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks, etc.) block reception,
including in RDS tracking mode.This phenomenon is normal and does not
indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
3.The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for
example when going through an automatic car
wash or in an underground car park).
Have the antenna checked by the network
PEUGEOT.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2
seconds in radio
mode.
During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS
searches for another frequency giving better
reception of the station.
Switch off the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.
The traffic announcement (TA) is displayed. I
do not receive any traffic information.
The radio station does not broadcast traffic
information.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.
The stored stations are not found (no sound,
87.5 MHz is displayed, etc.).
An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND button to return to the
waveband on which the stations are stored.
The CD is ejected every time or is not played.

system operating time depends on the battery
charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system
switches to economy mode and switches off to
prevent discharging the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle’s engine to increase the battery
charge.
The message "the audio system is
overheated" appears on the display.
In order to protect the installation if the
surrounding temperature is too high, the audio
system switches to an automatic thermal
protection mode leading to a reduction of the
volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.
