file extensions and with a bit rate of between
32
Kbps and 320
Kbps.
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.

9 standard.
Sampling frequencies supported are 11, 22, 44
and 48
kHz. It is advisable to restrict file names to 20
characters, without using special characters

CDRW, select standards ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or
Joliet if possible when burning the CD.

not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same burning
standard be always used on an individual disc,
with the lowest speed possible (4x maximum)
for the best acoustic quality.

The RDS, if activated, enables you to
continue listening to the same station
by automatic retuning to alternative
frequencies. However, in certain conditions,
coverage of an RDS station may not be
assured throughout the entire country as
radio stations do not cover 100% of the
territory. This explains the loss of reception
of the station during a journey.
Short procedure
In "Radio " mode, press the OK button to
activate or deactivate RDS directly.
Long procedure
Press the MENU button.
Select " Audio functions ".
Press OK.
Select the " FM waveband

source (Radio, CD, etc.) is interrupted
automatically to play the TA message.
Normal play of the media previously
playing is resumed at the end of the
message.
Take care when increasing the volume
while listening to TA messages. The
volume may prove too high on return to
the original audio source.
Press the TA button to activate or
deactivate traffic messages.
Receiving INFO messages
The INFO function gives priority to TA
alert messages. To be active, this function
needs good reception of a radio station
that transmits this type of message. When
a message is transmitted, the current
audio source (Radio, CD, USB, etc.) is
interrupted automatically to receive the
INFO message. Normal play of the media
previously playing is resumed at the end
of the message.
Make a long press on this button to
display the list of categories.

DAB/FM station tracking
"DAB" does not have 100% coverage of
the country.
When the digital signal is weak,
"DAB / FM auto tracking" allows you to
continue listening to the same station,
by automatically switching to the
corresponding analogue FM station (if it
ex i st s).
When the "DAB
/ FM auto tracking" is
active, the DAB station will be selected
automatically.
Press the MENU button.
Select " Multimedia " and confirm.
Select " DAB
/ FM auto tracking"
and confirm.
If "DAB
/ FM auto tracking" is enabled,
there is a lag of a few seconds when
the system switches to the analogue
FM station sometimes with a change in
volume. If the "DAB" station you are listening to
is not available on FM ("
DAB/FM" option
barred), or if "DAB / FM auto tracking"
is not on, the sound will be cut when the
digital signal is too weak.
