There
 
is   a   difference   in  
sound

 
quality   between  
the

 
different   audio  
sources

  (radio,   CD...). For
  optimum   sound   quality,   the   audio   settings   (Volume,   Bass,  
T
reble,  
Ambiance,

  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,  
T

reble,  
Ambiance,
  Loudness)   are   adapted   to  
the

  sources   listened   to.   It   is   advisable   to   set  
the

 
AUDIO
  functions   (Bass,  
T
reble,   Front-Rear  
Fader

,   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.
When
 
changing   the  
settings

  for   treble   and  
bass,

 
the   ambiance  
setting

  is   deselected.
When
 
changing   the  
ambiance

  setting,   treble  
and

 
bass   are   reset   to  
zero. Choosing

  an   ambiance   imposes   settings   for   treble   and   bass.   Modifying  
one

  without   the   other   is   not   possible.Modify
  the   treble   and   bass   settings   or   the  
ambiance

  setting   to   obtain   the   desired   sound  
quality

.

qUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
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   by   the   station   listened  
to

  or   there   is   no   transmitter   in   the   geographical   area   through   which   the  
vehicle

  is   travelling. Switch
  on   the   RDS   function   to   enable   the   system  
to

  check   whether   there   is   a   more   powerful  
transmitter

  in   the   geographical   area.
The
  environment   (hills,   buildings,   tunnels,   basement   car   parks...)   block  
reception,

  including   in   RDS   mode.This
  phenomenon   is   normal   and   does   not   indicate  
a

  failure   of   the   audio   equipment.
The
  aerial   is   absent   or   has   been   damaged   (for   example   when   going  
through

  a   car   wash   or   into   an   underground   car   park).Have
  the   aerial   checked   by   a   CITROËN   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.Switch
  off   the   RDS   function   if   the   phenomenon   is  
too

  frequent   and   always   on   the   same   route.
The
 
traffic   announcement  
(T

A)
 
is
  displayed.   I   do  
not

 
receive   any   traffic  
information. The

  radio   station   does   not   broadcast   traffic   information.Tune
  to   a   radio   station   which   broadcasts   traffic  
information.
The

 
stored   stations   are  
not

 
found   (no   sound,  
87.5 MHz

  is   displayed...). An
  incorrect   waveband   is   selected. Press
  the   SRC   button   to   return   to   the   waveband  
(AM,

  FM1,   FM2)   on   which   the   stations   are   stored.

The
 
CD   is   ejected  
automatically

  or   is   not  
played

  by   the   player. The
  CD   is   inserted   upside   down,   is   unplayable,   does   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. -
 
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   system's   CD   player   does   not   play  
DVDs.
-

 
Due
  to   their   quality   level,   certain   writeable  
CDs

  will   not   be   played   by   the   audio   system.
The
 
CD   player   sound   is  
poor

. The
  CD   used   is   scratched   or   of   poor   quality.Insert
  good   quality   CDs   and   store   them   in   suitable  
conditions.
The

  audio   settings   (bass,   treble,   ambiance)   are   unsuitable.Set
  the   treble   or   bass   level   to   0,   without   selecting  
an

  ambiance.
In
 
"Random   all"   play,  
not

 
all
 
of   the   tracks   are  
played. In

  "Random   all"   play,   the   system   can   only   take   into   account   up   to  
999
  tracks.
With
 
the   engine   off,   the  
audio

 
system   switches  
of

f
 
after   a   few   minutes  
of

 
use. When
  the   engine   is   switched   off,   the   audio   system   operating   time  
depends

  on   the   battery   charge.
The
  switch-off   is   normal:   the   audio   system   switches   to   economy   mode  
and

  switches   off   to   prevent   discharging   the   vehicle's   battery.Start
  the   vehicle's   engine   to   increase   the   battery  
charge.
The

 
message   "the   audio  
system

  is   overheated"  
appears

  on   the   display. In
  order   to   protect   the   installation   if   the   surrounding   temperature   is   too  
high,

  the   audio   system   switches   to   an   automatic   thermal   protection   mode  
leading

  to   a   reduction   of   the   volume   or   stopping   of   the   playing   of   the   CD.Switch
  the   audio   system   off   for   a   few   minutes   to  
allow

  the   system   to   cool.
