To achieve an optimum listening quality, the audio adjustments (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambiance, Loudness) can be adapted to each of the different sound sources, which can produce audible shifts when you change the source (radio, CD, CD changer etc.).
Check that the audio adjustments (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambiance, Loudness) are adapted to the sources being listened to. It is recommended that you should adjust the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear balance, Left-Right balance) to the mid position, select the musical ambiance "None", adjust the loudness correction to the position "Active" in CD mode and to the position "Inactive" in radio mode.

Cutting of sound for 1 or 2 seconds in radio mode.
The RDS system during this brief sound cut-off is searching for a better frequency that might offer improved reception of the station.
Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon occurs too frequently and always on the same journey.
When the engine is not running, the radio stops after a few minutes.
When the engine is switched off, the working time for the radio depends on the vehicle battery charge.
The interruption is normal: the radio goes into economy mode, cutting off in order to save the vehicle’s battery.
You have to start the engine so as to increase the battery charge.
The message "the audio system is overheating" appears on the screen.
In order to protect the audio equipment in excessive ambient temperatures, the radio goes into an automatic thermic protection mode which results in a reduction in sound volume or stopping of the CD player.
Switch off the audio system for a few minutes in order to allow the system to cool down.

INFORMATION AND ADVICE
The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1.2 & 2.5 A udio Layer 3,
is an audio compression standard which permits the recording of
several tens of music iles on a single disc.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR/DVDR or CDRW/DVDRW,
when recording it is preferable to select standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or
Joliet.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may n ot be played
correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used
for an individual disc, with as low a speed as poss ible (4x maximum)
for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the J oliet standard is
recommended.
The audio equipment will only play audio iles with the extension
".mp3" with a sampling rate of 22.05 KHz, 44.1 KHz or 48 KHz.
No other type of ile (.wma, .mp4, m3u...) can be pl ayed.
It is advisable to restrict ile names to 20 charact ers without using
special characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying
problems. Insert circular compact discs only. Some anti-pirat
ing
systems, on original discs or CDs/DVDs copied using
a personal recorder, may generate malfunctions
regardless of the quality of the original player.
Insert an audio CD or an MP3 compilation in the pla yer,
play begins automatically.
If the player already contains a disc,
press the SOURCE button several
times in succession and select
CD/DVD to listen to it.
Press one of the buttons to select a
track on the CD/DVD.
Press the LIST button to display the
list of tracks on the CD/DVD or of the
directories of the MP3 compilation.
The playing and displaying of an MP3 compilation ma y depend
on the recording programme and/or the parameter set tings used.
We recommend use of the ISO 9660 recording standard .
