CD, MP3 CD / USB player
The audio equipment will only play audio files with ".wma, .aac, .flac,
.ogg and .mp3" file extensions and with a bit rate of between 32 Kbps
and 320 k bps.
It also supports V
b R (Variable b it Rate) mode.
No other type of file (.mp4, .m3u...) can be played.
WMA files must be of the standard wma 9 type.
The sampling rates supported are greater than 32
k Hz.
It is advisable to restrict file names to 20 characters, without using of
special characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing and displaying
problems.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording
it is preferable to select the ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or Joliet standard.
If the disc is recorded in another format (udf, ...), it may not be pl\
ayed
correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used
for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum)
for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is
recommended. Information and advice
The system supports US b mass storage or iPod
devices via the US
b port (suitable cable not supplied).
If a partitioned US
b memory key is connected to the
system, only the first partition is recognised.
Control of the peripheral device is with the audio
system controls.
The number of tracks is limited to 2000 maximum,
999 tracks per folder.
If the current consumption at the USB port exceeds
500 m
a , the system goes into protection mode and
deactivates the port.
o

ther peripherals, not recognised on connection, must
be connected to the auxiliary socket using a Jack cable
(not supplied).
Give preference to multimedia US
b memory sticks (in general
formatted F
aT

32 File
a
llocation Table).
The system does not support the operation of an
a

pple

Equalizer, Bass, Treble and Loudness) are
different and independent for each sound source.
The settings for distribution and balance are common to all sources.
The distribution (or spatialisation using the
a

rkamys
© system) of sound
is an audio process that allows the audio quality to be adapted to the
number of listeners in the vehicle.
o
n-board audio: a rkamys
© Sound Staging.
With Sound Staging, the driver and passengers are immersed in an
"audio scene" recreating the natural atmosphere of an auditorium:
truly a part of the scene and its surroundings.
This new sensation is made possible by software in the audio system
which processes the digital signals from the media players (radio,
CD, MP3…) without changing the audio settings. This processing
takes account of the characteristics of the passenger compartment to
produce optimum results.
The
a
rkamys
© software installed in your audio system processes
the digital signal from the media players (radio, C d , MP3, ...) and
recreates a natural musical scene, with harmonious placement of
instruments and voices in the space in front of passengers, level with
the windscreen.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
Certain traffic jams
along the route are not
indicated in real time.
o
n starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive th\
e
traffic information. Wait until the traffic information is being received
correctly (display of the traffic information icons on
the map).
The filters are too restrictive. Modify the "Geographic filter" settings.
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways...) are listed for the
traffic information. This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the traffic information available.
The altitude is not
displayed.
o

n starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes to
receive more than 4 satellites correctly. Wait until the system has started up completely.
Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least
4
satellites (long press on the SETUP button, then
select "GPS coverage").
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel...) or the weather ,
the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may vary. This phenomenon is normal. The system
is dependent on the GPS signal reception
conditions.
I am unable to connect
my
b
luetooth telephone. The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the telephone
may not be visible. -

Check that your telephone's
b luetooth
function is switched on.
-

Check in the telephone settings that it is
"visible to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system. Y

ou can check the compatibility of your telephone
on www.citroen.co.uk (services)
The volume of the
telephone connected
in
b
luetooth mode is
inaudible. The volume depends both on the system and on the telephone.
Increase the volume of the audio system, to
maximum if required, and increase the volume of
the telephone if necessary.
The ambient noise level has an influence on the quality of telephone
communication. Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows,
reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, ...).

QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
Some contacts are
duplicated in the list. The options for synchronizing contacts are synchronizing the contacts
on the SIM card, the contacts on the telephone, or both. When both
synchronizations are selected, some contacts may be duplicated. Select "
d isplay SIM card contacts" or " d isplay
telephone contacts".
Contacts are not shown
in alphabetical order. Some telephones offer display options.
d epending on the settings
chosen, contacts can be transferred in a specific order. Modify the display setting in the telephone
directory.
The system does not receive
SMS text messages.The Bluetooth mode does not permit sending SMS text messages to the
system.
The C
d

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
.-
Check that the C
d is inserted in the player the right
way up.
- Check the condition of the C d : the C d cannot be
played if it is too damaged.
- Check the content in the case of a recorded C d :
refer to the information and advice in the "MUSIC
ME
d I a
PL
a
YERS" section.
- The audio system's C d player does not play d V d s.
- Some recorded CDs will not be played by the audio
system because they are not of the correct quality.
The CD has been recorded in a format that is not compatible with the
player (udf, ...).
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not
recognised by the audio system.
There is a long waiting
period following the insertion
of a C
d or connection of a
US
b memory stick.When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain amount of
data (directory, title, artist, etc.). This may take from a few seconds to a
few minutes. This phenomenon is normal.
The C
d
player sound is
poor. The C
d used is scratched or of poor quality. Insert good quality C
d s and store them in suitable
conditions.
The audio equipment settings (bass, treble, ambiences) are unsuitable.\
Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
Some characters in the
media information are not
displayed correctly while
playing. The audio system does not display some types of characters.
Use standard characters to name tracks and
folders.
Playing of streaming files
does not start. The peripheral device connected does not support automatic play. Start the playback from the device.
The names of tracks and
the track length are not
displayed on the screen
when streaming audio. The Bluetooth profile does not allow the transfer of this information.
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.
a

ctivate the "R d S" function by means of the
short-cut menu 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...) blo\
ck
reception, including in R
d S mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a fault with the audio system.
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 CITR
o Ë n dealer.
I cannot find some radio
stations in the list of
stations received. The station is not received or its name has changed in the list.
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name (the \
title of the song for example).
The system interprets this information as the name of the station.
The name of the radio
station changes.
