There is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources (radio, CD, CD changer...).
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 Balance, 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.
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio, CD, CD changer...).
The CD is ejected automatically or is not played by the player.
- Check that the CD is inserted in the player the right way up. - Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot be played if it is too damaged. - Check the content in the case of a recorded CD: consult the advice in the Audio section. - The audio equipment's CD player does not play DVDs. - Due to inadequate quality, certain recorded CDs will not be played by the audio system. - The CD changer does not play MP3 CDs.
The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, doe s not contain any audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not recognised by the audio equipment.
The CD player sound is poor. Insert good quality CDs and store them in suitable conditions. The CD used is scratched or of poor quality.
The audio equipment settings (bass, treble, ambien ces) are unsuitable. Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting an ambience.
The table below groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions concerning the RD4 audio equipment and the RT4 audio/telephone.

(TA) is displayed. I do not receive any traffi c information.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffi c information. The radio station is not part of the regional traffi c information network.
QUESTION SOLUTION RESPONSE
The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used b y the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area th rough which the vehicle is travelling.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, baseme nt car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for exam ple when going through a car wash or into an underground car park).
Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode.
During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off, the audio equipment switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio equipme nt operating time depends on the battery charge. The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
The stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...)
An incorrect waveband is selected. Press the BAND AST button to return to the waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the stations are stored.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too high, the audio equipment switches to an automatic therma l protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.

SOLUTION RESPONSE
The TRAFFIC INFO box is ticked. However, certain traffi c jams along the route are not indicated in real time.
On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive the traffi c information. Wait until the traffi c information is being received correctly (displaying of the traffi c information symbols on the map).
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways , ...) are listed for the traffi c information.
The time taken to calculate a route sometimes seems longer than usual.
This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the traffi c information available.
The performance of the system may slow down tempor arily if a CD is being copied onto the Jukebox at the same time as a route is being calculated.
Wait until the CD has been copied or stop the copying before starting the guidance function.
Does the emergency call function work without a SIM card?
No, European regulations impose the presence of a SIM card in order to make an emergency call. Insert a valid SIM card in the slot on the RT4 GPS audio/telephone.
My SIM card is not recognised. The RT4 accepts 3.3 V SIM cards, the old 5 V and 1.8 V SIM cards are not recognised. Contact your telephone operator.
After changing a wheel, the system loses its location.
The RT4 GPS audio/telephone uses the wheel rotatio n information to improve the GPS locating function. If a wheel is changed or defl ates suddenly, the system recalculates the location. For approximately ten minutes, this recalculation may affect the quality of the locating function.
Wait until the system has completed its recalculation. The location on the map is incorrect or inaccurate.
The table below groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions concerning the RT4 audio/telephone.
The altitude is not displayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes to receive more than 3 satellites correctly. Wait until the system has started up completely. Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least 3 satellites (long press on the MENU button, then select AUDIO/TELEPHONE DIAGNOSTICS, then GPS COVERAGE).
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel, ...) or the weather, the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may vary. This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the conditions of reception of the GPS signal.

PLAYING AN MP3 COMPILATION INFORMATION AND ADVICE
The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1.2 & 2.5 Audio Layer 3, is an audio compression standard which permits the recording of several tens of music fi les on a single disc. The playing and displaying of an MP3 compilation may depend on the recording programme and/or the parameters used.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording select standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet. If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be played correctly. It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible for optimum sound quality. In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is recommended.
The audio equipment will only play fi les with the extension ".mp3". No other type of fi le (.wma,.mp4...) can be played.
It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters without using special characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ù) to avoid any p laying or displaying problems.
