CD, MP3 CD / USB player

The audio equipment will only play audio fi les with ".wma, .aac, .fl ac,

.ogg and .mp3" fi le extensions and with a bit rate of between 32 Kbps

and 320 Kbps.
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other type of fi le (.mp4, .m3u…) can be played.
WMA fi les must be of the standard wma 9 type.
The sampling rates supported are greater than 32 KHz.

It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters, without using of

special characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing and displaying

problems.

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording

it is preferable to select the ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or Joliet standard.
If the disc is recorded in another format (udf, …), 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.

Information and advice

The system supports USB mass storage or iPod

devices via the USB port (suitable cable not supplied).
If a partitioned USB memory key is connected to the

system, only the fi rst partition is recognised.
Control of the peripheral device is with the audio

system controls.
The number of tracks is limited to 2000 maximum,

999 tracks per folder.
If the current consumption at the USB port exceeds

500 mA, the system goes into protection mode and

deactivates the port.
Other peripherals, not recognised on connection, must

be connected to the auxiliary socket using a Jack cable

(not supplied).

In order to be read, a USB memory stick must be formatted FAT 16 or 32.

The system does not support the operation of an Apple

®

player and a

USB memory stick connected at the same time.

It is recommended that offi cial Apple

®

USB cables are used to ensure

correct operation.

MUSIC MEDIA PLAYERS

Sources

Insert the CD in the player, insert the USB memory

stick in the USB player or connect the USB

peripheral to the USB port using a suitable cable

(not supplied) .
The system builds playlists (in temporary memory),

an operation which can take from a few seconds to

several minutes at the fi rst connection.
Reduce the number of non-music fi les and the

number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The playlists are updated every time the ignition is

switched off or connection of a USB memory stick.

However, the system memorises these lists and

if they are not modifi ed, the loading time will be

shorter.
Play starts automatically after a period which

depends on the capacity of the USB memory stick.

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The following table groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions concerning your audio system.

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

The route calculation is

not successful.

The guidance criteria may confl ict with the current location (exclusion of

toll roads on a toll motorway).

Check the guidance criteria on the Navigation

Menu, "Guidance options"\ "Defi ne calculation

criteria".

I am unable to enter my

post code.

The system only accepts post codes of up to 5 characters.

The POIs do not appear.

The POIs have not been selected.

Select the POIs in the list of POIs.

The risk areas audible

warning does not work.

The audible warning is not active.

Activate audible warnings in the Guidance options

menu, "Navigation - guidance", "Set parameters

for risk areas".

The system does not

suggest a detour around

an incident on the route.

The guidance criteria do not take account of TMC messages.

Select the "Traffi c info" function in the list of

guidance criteria.

I receive a Risk area alert

which is not on my route.

Other than guidance, the system announces all Risk areas positioned in a

cone located in front of the vehicle. It may provide an alert for a Risk area

located on nearby or parallel roads.

Zoom in on the map to view the exact position of

the Risk area. Select "On the route" to no longer

receive alerts other than guidance or to reduce the

time for the announcement.

284

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

Certain traffi c jams

along the route are not

indicated in real time.

On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive the

traffi c information.

Wait until the traffi c information is being received

correctly (display of the traffi c information icons on

the map).

The fi lters are too restrictive.

Modify the "Geographic fi lter" settings.

In certain countries, only major routes (motorways…) are listed for the

traffi c information.

This phenomenon is normal. The system is

dependent on the traffi c information available.

The altitude is not

displayed.

On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes to

receive more than 4 satellites correctly.

Wait until the system has started up completely.

Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least

4 satellites (long press on the SETUP button, then

select "GPS coverage").

Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel…) or the weather,

the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may vary.

This phenomenon is normal. The system

is dependent on the GPS signal reception

conditions.

I am unable to connect

my Bluetooth telephone.

The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the telephone

may not be visible.

-

Check that your telephone's Bluetooth

function is switched on.

-

Check in the telephone settings that it is

"visible to all".

The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system.

You can check the compatibility of your telephone

on www.citroen.co.uk (services)

The volume of the

telephone connected

in Bluetooth mode is

inaudible.

The volume depends both on the system and on the telephone.

Increase the volume of the audio system, to

maximum if required, and increase the volume of

the telephone if necessary.

The ambient noise level has an infl uence on the quality of telephone

communication.

Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows,

reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, …).

285

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

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

MEDIA PLAYERS" section.

-

The audio system's CD player does not play DVDs.

-

Some recorded CDs will not be played by the audio

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

an ambience.

286

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

Some characters in the

media information are not

displayed correctly while

playing.

The audio system does not display some types of characters.

Use standard characters to name tracks and

folders.

Playing of streaming fi les

does not start.

The peripheral device connected does not support automatic play.

Start the playback from the device.

The names of tracks and

the track length are not

displayed on the screen

when streaming audio.

The Bluetooth profi le does not allow the transfer of this information.

The quality of reception

of the radio station

listened to gradually

deteriorates 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.

Activate the "RDS" function by means of the

short-cut menu 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 fault with the audio system.

The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going

through a car wash or into an underground car park).

Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.

I cannot fi nd some radio

stations in the list of

stations received.

The station is not received or its name has changed in the list.

Some radio stations send other information in place of their name (the

title of the song for example).
The system interprets this information as the name of the station.

The name of the radio

station changes.
