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 thesources listened to. It is advisable to adjust audio settings (bass, treble, Front-Rear balance, Left-Right balance) to the middle position, select the musical ambience 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 ambience
setting is deselected.
When chan
ging the
ambience setting, treble and bass are reset to zero.
Choosing an ambience imposes settings for treble and bass. Modifyingone without the other is only possible with a personalised ambience. 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 the "driver" distribution setting imposes a balance setting. Modify the balance setting or the distribution setting to obtain the desired sound quality. The
following tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.

Some hard disks and devices need a power supply greater than is
provided by the audio system. Connect the device to the 230 V socket, the 12 V socket or an external power supply.
Caution
:
ensure that the device does not transmit
a voltage greater than 5 V (risk of destruction of
the system).

When streaming, the sound cuts momentarily. Some telephones prioritise connection of the "hands-free" profi le. Delete the "hands-free" connection profi le toimprove streaming.

Start the vehicle's engine to increase the batterycharge.
The messa

appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surroundin
g 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 s
ystem off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
