DAB / FM tracking

"DAB" does not have 100% coverage of
the country.
When the digital signal is weak,
"DAB / FM auto tracking" allows you to
continue listening to the same station,
by automatically switching to the
corresponding analogue "FM" station
(if it exists).

If "DAB / FM auto tracking" is on, there
will be a difference of a few seconds
in the programme when the system
changes to analogue "FM" radio, with
sometimes a variation in volume.
When the strength of the digital signal
is good again, the system automatically
switches back to "DAB"

If the "DAB" station you are listening
to is not available on "FM" ("DAB/FM"
option barred), or if "DAB / FM auto
tracking" is not on, the sound will be cut
when the digital signal is too weak.

Information and advice

The audio system will only play files with
extension ".mp3" or ".wma" and a compression
rate that is constant or variable between
32 Kbps and 320 Kbps.

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

The playlists accepted are types .m3u and .pls.
The number of files is limited to 5 000 in
500 directories on a maximum of 8 levels.

On a single disc, the CD player can
read up to 255 MP3 files spread
over 8 directory levels. However, it
is recommended that this be kept to
2 levels so as to limit the time taken to
access and play the CD.
During play, the folder structure is not
observed.

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 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.

Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT32
(File Allocation Table).

Do not connect a hard disk or USB
device other than audio players to the
USB port. This may cause damage to
your installation.
