QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audiosources (radio, CD...). For optimum sound qualit
y, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble,
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 settin
gs (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambiance, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Fader, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position, select the musical ambience "None" and set theloudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
When chan
ging the settings for treble andbass, the ambiance setting is deselected.
When changing the
ambiance settin
g, treble and bass are reset to zero.Choosin
g an ambiance imposes settings for treble and bass. Modifyingone without the other is not possible. Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambiance setting to obtain the desired sound quality. The followin
g tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.

The quality of receptionof the radio station
listened to graduallydeteriorates 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 dama
ged (for example when goingthrough a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Sound cut-outs of 1 to2 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 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 recordedCD: consult the advice in the "Audio" section.

- The audio s
ystem'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 pla
yer sound ispoor.The CD used is scratched or of poor quality. Insert good quality CDs and store them in suitable conditions.
The audio settin
gs (bass, treble, ambiance) are unsuitable. Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selectingan ambiance.

In "Random all" play,not all of the tracks areplayed.
In "Random all" play, the system can only take into account up to 999 tracks.
With the en
gine off, the
audio system switches off after a few minutes of use. When the en
gine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio s
ystem switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's en
gine to increase the batterycharge.
The messa
ge "the audio system is overheated"
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.
