Screen C
Press ¯ to display the audio
settings menu.The distribution (or spatialisation using the
Arkamys
© system), is an audio process
which allows the sound quality to be
improved according to the setting chosen,
corresponding to the position of the
listeners in the vehicle.
The audio Ambience, Treble and Bass
settings are different and independent for
each sound source. Onboard audio: le Sound Staging
d'A r kamys©.
With Sound Staging, the driver and the
passengers are immersed into a "sound
stage" recreating the natural atmosphere
of a theatre: truly centre stage in surround
sound.
This new sensation is possible thanks
to the software installed in the radio
which processed the digital signals of the
media players (radio, CD, MP3...) without
changing the setting of the loudspeakers.
This process takes into account the
features of the passenger compartment
for optimum performance.
The Arkamys
© software installed in your
audio system processes the digital signal
of all the media players (radio, CD, MP3...)
and makes it possible to recreate a
natural sound setting, with a harmonious
placement of the instruments and
voices in space, facing the passengers,
positioned at the height of the windscreen.

-

Frequently asked questions
The following tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.
QUESTIONRESPONSE SOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources (radio, CD...). To allow for optimal listening quality, the audio
settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience,
Loudness) can be tailored to different
sound sources, which can generate audible
differences when changing source (radio, CD...).Check that the audio settings (volume, bass,
treble, ambience, 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 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 changing the ambience setting, treble
and bass are reset to zero. Choosing an ambience imposes settings for
treble and bass. Modifying one without the other
is not possible.
Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound
quality.

QUESTIONRESPONSE SOLUTION
When changing the balance setting, distribution
is deselected. Choosing a distribution setting imposes a
balance setting. Modifying one without the other
is not possible.Modify the balance setting or the distribution
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
The reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the stored stations are
not working (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed ...). The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of
the station or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.Activate the RDS mode and start a new search
for the station so that the system can check
whether a stronger transmitter is available in the
geographic 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 damaged (for
example when going through an automatic car
wash or in an underground car park). Have the antenna checked by the PEUGEOT

network.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for another frequency giving better
reception of the station.Switch off the RDS function if the phenomenon
is too frequent and always on the same route.
The traffic announcement (TA) is displayed. I do
not receive any traffic information. The radio station does not broadcast traffic
information.Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.
The stored stations are not found (no sound,
87.5 MHz is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND button to return to the
waveband on which the stations are stored.

The hard disk or peripheral is not recognised
when connecting to the USB socket. Some hard disks and devices need a power
supply greater than is provided by the audio
system.Connect the peripheral to the 230 V socket, the
12V 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" profile.Delete the "hands-free" connection profile to
improve streaming.
In "Random all" play, not all of the tracks are
played. In "Random all" play, the system can only take
into account up to 999 tracks.
With the engine off, the audio system switches
off after a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio
system operating time depends on the battery
charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system
switches to economy mode and switches off to
prevent discharging the vehicle's battery.Turn the ignition on to increase charge of the
battery.

RDS
The RDS, if displayed, enables you to
continue listening to the same station
by automatic retuning to alternative
frequencies. However, in certain conditions,
coverage of an RDS station may not be
assured throughout the entire country as
radio stations do not cover 100% of the
territory. This explains the loss of reception
of the station during a journey.
Play TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function
gives priority to TA alert messages.
To operate, this function needs good
reception of a radio station that carries
