External sources
Using the system
Advice for dealing with external sources
It is possible to play back external audio sources in the vehicle via the device. A different audio source can be selected on the device at any time. As long as the
external audio source is not switched off, it always remains active in the back-
ground.
See the owner's manual of the specific manufacturer for operating the external
audio source.
In addition, if an external audio source is connected via the multimedia input the
display in the Audio menu will be the selection button AUX
instead of the selec-
tion button MDI. It is important to note that an audio source connected via the
AUX input can only be played if no data storage unit is connected to the multime-
dia input.
Conditions for a successful connection
External audio sources are connected via the AUX input using a 3.5 mm standard
jack plug. If the external audio source does not have this jack plug, you must use
an adapter.
› Only USB devices with the specification 2.0 can be connected.
› The version of the file allocation table FAT (File Allocation Table) of the connec-
ted device must be FAT16 ( <2 GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB).
› In order to replay from a unit with a hard disk (HDD) which includes a large data
volume, it can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music
data.
› In order to replay from a unit, which includes a complicated folder structure, it
can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music data.
› The folder structure in the connected unit must not exceed a depth of 8 levels.
One folder must not contain more than 1,000 files.
› A USB extension cable or USB distributor (HUB) must not be used to connect
the unit.
Adapter
A special adapter is required to connect audio sources via the MDI input.
We recommend that you purchase an adapter for connecting the USB devices, the
devices with Mini USB output or an iPod, at an authorised ŠKODAService Partner.
Adjust the play function volume of the external audio source
The playback volume of the external audio source can be adjusted via the volume
control on the device.
Depending on the connected audio source, the output volume on the external au-
dio source can be changed.
You can also change the input sensitivity of the external audio source, in order to
adapt the play volume of the external audio source to that of the other audio
sources or to avoid distortions.WARNING■ Never place external sources on the dashboard. These could be thrown into
the passenger compartment during sudden driving manoeuvres, injuring the
occupants.■
Never place external sources close to the airbags. These could be thrown in-
to the passenger compartment when the airbags are deployed, injuring the
occupants.
■
Never hold external sources in your hand or on your knees while driving.
These could be thrown into the passenger compartment during sudden driv-
ing manoeuvres, injuring the occupants.
■
Always route the connection cable of the external source such that does not
restrict you when driving.
CAUTION
The AUX input must only be used for audio sources!
Note
■ See the owner's manual of the specific manufacturer for instructions on operat-
ing the external source.■
The external audio source connected via AUX can only be used if no other unit
is connected via MDI at the same time.
■
If an external audio source equipped with an adapter for external power supply
is connected via AUX, it is possible that the audio signal may be disrupted. This
depends on the quality of the adapter which is used.
