The audio system can only play files with 
".mp3", ".wma" or ".wav" extensions.

It is advisable to restrict file names to 
20 characters without using special characters 
(e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying 
problems.

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or 
CDRW, when recording it is preferable to select 
standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may 
not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording 
standard is always used for a given 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

On a given disc, the CD player can read up to 
255 MP3 files spread over 8 levels. However, 
it is advisable to keep to a limit of two levels 
to reduce the access time before the CD is 
played.
The folder structure is not observed during 
playback.

Playlists accepted are types .m3u and .pls.
The system can recognise up to 5 000 files in 
500 folders on 8 levels.

Frequently asked questions

The following tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

There is a difference in 
sound quality between the 
different audio sources 
(radio, CD...).

For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, 
Treble, Ambiance, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound 
sources, which may result in audible differences when changing 
source (radio, CD...).

Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass, 
Treble, Ambiance, 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 ambiance setting 
is deselected.
When changing the 
ambiance setting, treble 
and bass are reset to zero.

Choosing an ambiance imposes settings for treble and bass. 
Modifying one without the other is not possible.

Modify the treble and bass settings or the 
ambiance setting to obtain the desired sound 
quality.

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

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.

Switch on the RDS function 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 failure of the audio equipment.

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 PEUGEOT dealer.

Sound cut-outs of 1 to 
2 seconds in radio mode.

During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency 
permitting 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 SRC button to return to the waveband 
(AM, FM1, FM2) on which the stations are stored.

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

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.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is 
not recognised by the audio equipment.

- 

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: consult the advice in the "Audio" section.

- 

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

- 

Due to their quality level, certain writeable 
CDs will not be played by the audio system.

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 settings (bass, treble, ambiance) are unsuitable.

Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting 
an ambiance.

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.

Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery 
charge.

The message "the audio 
system is overheated" 
appears on the display.

In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature 
is too high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal 
protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of 
the playing of the CD.

Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to 
allow the system to cool.
