What is RDS?
RDS station following
Tr a ffi c information function
Your radio automatically checks
and selects the best frequency
for the radio station to which it is
tuned (if the station broadcasts on sev-
eral transmitters or frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers
approximately 30 miles (50 km). The
change from one frequency to another
explains the loss of reception during a
journey.
If the station to which you are listening
does not have several frequencies in
the region in which you are currently lo-
cated, you can deactivate the automatic
frequency following.


Radio Data System (RDS) func-
tion on the FM waveband permits:


- tuning to the same station while
travelling through different regions
(if the transmitters of this station
cover the area through which you
are travelling),

- temporary tuning to traffi c informa-
tion announcements,

- display of the name of the station,
etc...
Most FM stations use RDS.
These stations transmit non-audible
data in addition to their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way allows
you access to various functions, mainly
displaying of the name of the station,
temporary tuning to traffi c information
announcements or automatic station
following.
RDS allows you to continue listening to the
same station by means of the frequency
following. However, in certain conditions,
this RDS frequency following cannot be
provided throughout the country. Radio
stations do not cover the whole country,
which explains the loss of reception of the
station during a journey. The Traffic Program (TP) func-
tion permits automatic and tem-
porary switching to an FM sta-
tion broadcasting traffi c information.
The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
Once the traffi c information has ended,
the system switches back to the radio
station or the source that you were lis-
tening to initially.

Regional following mode
Some stations are organised in
a network.
In different regions, they broad-
cast different or shared programmes
depending on the time of day.
You can follow:


- a regional station only,

- the entire network, with the possibility
that you will be listening to a different
programme.

Programme types

Some stations offer the option
of listening to a themed type of
programme as a priority, select-
ed from the list available below:
NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFOS, SPORT,
EDUCATE, DRAMA, CULTURE,
SCIENCE, VARIED, POP M, ROCK M,
EASY M, LIGHT M, CLASSICS, OTHER
M, WEATHER, FINANCE, CHILDREN,
SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN, TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ, COUNTRY, NATION M,
OLDIES, FOLK M, DOCUMENT.

AUDIO and TELEMATICS
CD player
Your Audio-Telematic system allows
you to listen to audio CDs (CDDA, CD-
Text, CD-R/RW) or MP3 and WMA CDs.

Playing an audio CD Switching off the engine or removing
the CD during recording will result in the
tracks being faulty.
The operation of the navigation system
may slow down during recording.
The recording speed may be slower
than 4x due to the processing load on
the equipment or the condition of the
audio CD.
If jumps or other errors occur, return to
the beginning of the track and start the
recording again.
Even if there is no gap between the
tracks on the CD, a brief silence be-
tween tracks is stored on the hard disk.

Copyright
Your Audio equipment may allow you
to listen to music which is usually pro-
tected by copyright in accordance with
current national and international stan-
dards. Please consult these standards
and comply with them.

Recording onto the music server
When the audio CD is
inserted in the player,
playing of the tracks is
automatic and they can
be recorded onto the
hard disk.
Simultaneous access to the music rec-
ognition service "Gracenote CDDB" on
the hard disk permits display of the title
information.
The tracks of audio CDs (not
MP3/WMA) can be recorded
onto the hard disk at approximately
4x speed (e.g.: 60 minutes converted
to 15 minutes) and stored on the music
server.
The sounds recorded may be altered
by the noise present and the quality of
the sound may differ from the original.
The tracks recorded on the music server
cannot be reproduced on another me-
dium (CD-R/RW, HDD, etc...).
Previously recorded tracks cannot be
recorded again from the same CD. The title information for the
track currently being played
can be obtained from the
"Gracenote CDDB" database
stored on the hard disk.
The Gracenote company uses
this standard to identify the music and
the associated information such as:


- the title of the album,

- the name of the artist,

- the title of the tracks,

- the genre, ...
For further details, consult the site:
www.gracenote.com.

porated in this equipment cannot guar-
antee the content of the data 100 %.
You can update this database using a

General notes on MP3/WMA CDs

Playing an MP3/WMA CD
When the MP3/WMA CD is
inserted in the player, play-
ing of the tracks is automatic.
The tracks cannot be recorded
onto the music server.
You can play CDs with up to 8 levels,
255 folders and 400 fi les maximum.

Copyright
Your Audio equipment may allow you
to listen to music which is usually pro-
tected by copyright in accordance with
current national and international stan-
dards. Please consult these standards
and comply with them.

Acceptance of the fi les
Some blank CDs may not be played
by your equipment (quality, recording
speed...).
When you burn a CD-R or CD-RW,
select the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet
burning standard.
To obtain the best acoustic quality pos-
sible, select the lowest burning speed.
The MPEG1 and MPEG2 standards
are accepted.
Transmission speeds between 32 and
320 kbits/s and scans between 16 kHz
and 48 kHz are accepted.
To display the title information (the
name of the artist, the title of the
album, etc...), the information con-
tained in the ID3 Tags or the WMA Tags
must be included in the MP3/WMA fi les
burned onto the disc.
What is the MP3/WMA fi le format?
MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3 and MPG is the abbrevia-
tion of Motion Pictures Experts Group, a
digital video data compression standard
used on media such as video CDs.
The MP3 compression reduces the
number of bytes in a song by eliminating
the long sound waves in the range of fre-
quencies which are imperceptible to the
human ear, so producing high quality au-
dio fi les with a low volume of data.
This compression divides the size of
the content of a conventional audio CD
by approximately 10, which means that
the content of 10 audio CDs can be
recorded onto a single CD-R or CD-RW.
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows
Media Audio, another audio data com-
pression standard offered by Microsoft.
It can be used to create and save audio
fi les at a compression rate higher than
that of the MP3 format.

ration are trademarks registered in the
United States and/or other countries.
