and with a bit rate of between 32
Kbps and
320
Kbps.

48 KHz.
Information and advice
The steering mounted SRC (s o u r c e)
button can be used to go to the next
media source, available if the source
is active.
The system builds playlists (in temporary
memory), an operation which can take from
a few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The playlists are updated every time the
ignition is switched off or on connection of a
USB memory stick. The lists are memorised: if
they are not modified, the subsequent loading
time will be shorter. Insert the USB memory stick into the USB port
or connect the USB device to the USB port
using a suitable cable (not supplied). Connect the portable device (MP3 player…) to
the auxiliary Jack socket using an audio cable
(not supplied). This source is only available if the "Auxiliary
socket" option has been activated in the
"Media" settings.
First adjust the volume of your portable device
(to a high level). Then adjust the volume of your
audio system.
Display and management of the controls are
via the portable device.Choose the source.
To protect the system, do not use a
USB hub.

(file allocation table). The system supports USB mass
storage portable players, BlackBerry
®
devices or Apple® players via USB
ports. The adaptor cable is not
supplied.
Control of the peripheral device is with
the audio system controls.
Other peripheral devices, not
recognised by the system on
connection, must be connected to the
auxiliary socket using a Jack cable (not
supplied).
It is recommended that the USB cable
for the portable device is used. To protect the system, do not use a
USB hub.
Bluetooth® audio streaming
Streaming allows audio files on your telephone
to be played through the vehicle's speakers.
Connect the telephone: see the " Telephone"
section, then " Bluetooth".
Choose the " Audio" or "All" profile.
If play does not start automatically, it may be
necessary to start the audio playback from the
telephone.
Control is from the peripheral device or by
using the audio system buttons.
Once connected in streaming mode,
the telephone is considered to be a
media source.
It is recommended that you activate
"Repeat " on the Bluetooth
® peripheral.
Connecting Apple® players

using a suitable cable (not supplied).
Play starts automatically.
Control is via the audio system.
The classifications available are those
of the portable device connected
(artists / albums / genres / playlists /
audiobooks / podcasts).
The default classification used is by
artist. To modify the classification used,
return to the first level of the menu
then select the desired classification
(playlists for example) and confirm
to go down through the menu to the
