Media

Media
Introduction
There are various media drives and connections
available in the MMI. For example, you can play
audio/video files from the Jukebox or connect
your mobile device to the Audi music interface
and operate it through the MMI.
Notes
Media and format restrictions: the MMI (includ-
ing the SD card reader and the USB storage de-
vice connection) was tested with a variety of
products and media on the market. However,
there may be cases where individual devices or
media and audio/video files may not be recog-
nized, may play only with restrictions, or may not
play at all.
Digital Rights Management: please note that
the audio/video files are subject to copyright pro-
tection.
The media drives do not play files that are pro-
tected by DRM and that are identified with the
symbol fi.
Data security: never store important data on SD
cards, the Jukebox, CDs/DVDs or mobile devices.
Audi AG is not responsible for damaged or lost
files and media.
Loading times: the more files, folders, or play-
lists that are on a storage medium, the longer it
will take to load the audio/video files. Audi rec-
ommends using storage media that only contain
audio/video files. To decrease the time it takes to
load audio/video files, create subfolders (for ex-
ample, for the artist or album). The loading time
will also increase when importing files.
Additional information: when playing, audio
files are automatically displayed with any addi-
tional information that is stored (such as the ar-
tist, track and album cover). If this information is
not available on the storage medium, the MMI
will check the Gracenote metadata database.
150
However, in some cases, the additional informa-
tion may not be displayed.
Restricted functionality: reset the Media set-
tings to the factory default settings if functional-
ity is restricted > page 168.
Reset the Jukebox to the factory default settings
if functionality is restricted > page 168.
For information about the properties of support-
ed media and file formats, see > page 162.
@) Note
Always follow the information found in >@ in
General information on page 124.
CD/DVD operation
CD/DVD and format restrictions: the functionali-
ty of individual storage media may be limited due
to the variety of blank CDs/DVDs available and
the various capacities. Audio CDs or video DVDs
with copy protection, CDs/DVDs that do not con-
form to the standard, and multisession CDs may
have limited playback or may not play at all. Audi
recommends finalizing the recording process
when creating multisession CDs. Multisession
DVDs are not supported.
Using CDs/DVDs, the CD drive or the DVD drive:
to ensure correct, high-quality playback and to
prevent damage to the drive or disc reading er-
rors, always store CDs/DVDs in a protective
sleeve and do not expose them to direct sunlight.
Do not use:
— Damaged, dirty or scratched CDs/DVDs
— Single CDs/DVDs with 3 in (8 cm) diameter
— CD/DVDs that are not round
— CDs/DVDs with labels

ty classes 1 to 4 in accordance with DIN IEC 76 >
