There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audiosources (radio, CD...).
For optimum sound qualit
y, 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...).
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 Fader, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position, select the musical ambience "None" and set theloudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.

When changing the settings for treble andbass, the ambience setting is deselected.
When chan
ging the
ambience setting, treble and bass are reset to zero.Choosin
g an ambience imposes settings for treble and bass. Modifyingone without the other is not possible. Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound quality.

When changing the balance setting, distribution is deselected.
Choosing a distribution setting imposes a balance setting. Modifying one
without the other is not possible. Modify the balance setting or the distribution setting to obtain the desired sound quality.

in certain conditions, coverage by an RDS station may not be
assured throughout the country as radio stations do not cover
100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of the station during a journey.
