Playlists are updated whenever the ignition is  
switched off or a USB memory stick is connected.  
The audio system memorises these lists, which  
will subsequently load faster if they have not been  
changed.  
If play does not start automatically, it may be  
necessary to start the audio playback from the  
smartphone.  
Information and advice  
The system supports USB mass storage devices,  
BlackBerry® devices or Apple® players via the USB  
ports. The adapter cable is not supplied.  
Devices are managed using the audio system  
controls.  
Control is from the portable device or by using the  
system's touch buttons.  
Once connected in Streaming mode, the  
smartphone is considered to be a media  
source.  
Auxiliary (AUX) jack socket  
Depending on equipment  
Other devices, not recognised on connection,  
must be connected to the auxiliary socket using  
a jack cable (not supplied) or via Bluetooth  
streaming, if compatible.  
Connect a portable device (MP3 player,  
etc.) to the auxiliary jack socket using an  
audio cable (not supplied).  
Connecting Apple® players  
To protect the system, do not use a USB  
hub.  
Connect the Apple® player to the USB socket using  
a suitable cable (not supplied).  
This source is only available if "Auxiliary input"  
has been selected in the audio settings.  
First adjust the volume on the portable device (to  
a high level). Then adjust the volume of the audio  
system.  
Play starts automatically.  
The audio system will only play audio files with  
".wav", ".wma", ".aac", ".ogg" and ".mp3" file  
extensions, at bit rates between 32 Kbps and 320  
Kbps.  
Control is via the audio system.  
The classifications available are those of  
the portable device connected (artists/  
albums/genres/playlists/audio books/  
podcasts). It is also possible to use a  
classification structured in the form of a  
library.  
Controls are managed via the portable device.  
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.  
No other file types (".mp4", etc.) can be read.

48 KHz.

page.

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  
desired track.  
To avoid reading and display problems, we  
recommend choosing file names less than 20  
characters long that do not contain any special  
characters (e.g. “ ? . ; ù).

Streaming allows you to listen to the audio feed  
from your smartphone.  
Use only USB memory sticks in FAT32 format (File
