The distribution (or spatialisation using the Arkamys
© system) of sound
is an audio process that allows the audio quality to be adapted to the
number of listeners in the vehicle.

On-board audio: Arkamys
©
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 Arkamys
© software installed in your audio system processes
the digital signal from the media players (radio, CD, 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.

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

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 "Display SIM card contacts" or "Display
telephone contacts".
Contacts are not shown
in alphabetical order. Some telephones offer display options. Depending on the settings
chosen, contacts can be transferred in a specifi c 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 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.


- 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:
refer to the information and advice in the "MUSIC

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 CD
or connection of a USB 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 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 equipment settings (bass, treble, ambiences) are unsuitable. Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting

SOLUTION


With the engine off, the
system switches off after
a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on
the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode and
switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
Playback of my USB
memory stick starts only
after a very long wait
(around 2 to 3 minutes). Some fi les supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down access
to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time). Delete the fi les supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the fi le
structure on the memory stick.
When I connect my
iPhone as telephone and
to the USB port at the
same time, I am unable
to play the music fi les. When the iPhone connects automatically as a telephone, it forces the
streaming function. The streaming function takes the place of the USB
function which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of the
track being played with Apple
® players. Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port (the
USB function takes priority over streaming).
When I connect my
Apple
®
player or my
BlackBerry ® to the
USB port, I have alert
messages on the current
consumption by the USB
port. When charging, the current consumption of these smartphones is greater
than the rating of the USB port, which is 500 mA.

Information and advice

On a single disc, the CD player can read up to 255 MP3 fi les spread
over 8 directory levels. However, it is recommended that this be kept
to 2 levels so as to limit the time taken to access and play the CD.
During play, the folder structure is not observed.

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording
it is preferable to select standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be played 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.

Do not connect a hard disk or USB device other than audio players to
the USB port. This may cause damage to your installation.

The audio system will only play fi les with extension ".mp3" or ".wma"
and a compression rate that is constant or variable between 32 Kbps
and 320 Kbps.

It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters without using
special characters (e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying
problems.

The playlists accepted are types .m3u and .pls.
The number of fi les is limited to 5 000 in 500 directories on a
maximum of 8 levels.
