Video files.  
Restrictions and instructions for data carriers  
Dirty, overheated or damaged data carriers are not to be used. Read and heed the information provided by the manufacturer.  
Difference in quality between data carriers from different manufacturers can cause problems with media playback.  
Wrong configuration of data carriers can lead to the data carriers being unreadable.  
The storage volume, condition (copy and delete processes), file system, folder structure and the amount of saved data can  
increase the time taken to read data carriers.  
Playlists only define the order of play and refer to the saved location of the media files within the folder structure. No media  
files are saved in playlists. To play a playlist, the media files must be present in the data storage device memory location, to  
which the playlist refers.  
Volkswagen is not responsible for damaged, altered or lost files on data carriers.
