Screen C

Press ¯ to display the audio
settings menu.

The distribution (or spatialisation using the
Arkamys

system), is an audio process

which allows the sound quality to be
improved according to the setting chosen,
corresponding to the position of the
listeners in the vehicle.

The audio Ambience, Treble and Bass
settings are different and independent for
each sound source.

Onboard audio: le Sound Staging
d'Arkamys

With Sound Staging, the driver and the
passengers are immersed into a "sound
stage" recreating the natural atmosphere
of a theatre: truly centre stage in surround
sound.
This new sensation is possible thanks
to the software installed in the radio
which processed the digital signals of the
media players (radio, CD, MP3...) without
changing the setting of the loudspeakers.
This process takes into account the
features of the passenger compartment
for optimum performance.
The Arkamys

software installed in your

audio system processes the digital signal
of all the media players (radio, CD, MP3...)
and makes it possible to recreate a
natural sound setting, with a harmonious
placement of the instruments and
voices in space, facing the passengers,
positioned at the height of the windscreen.

The settings available are:
- Ambience,
- Bass,
- Treble,
- Loudness,
-  Distribution: Personalised or Driver,
-  Left / right balance,
-  Fader (front / rear balance),
-  Auto. volume

Frequently asked questions

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

QUESTION

RESPONSE

SOLUTION

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

To allow for optimal listening quality, the audio
settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience,
Loudness) can be tailored to different
sound sources, which can generate audible
differences when changing source (radio, CD...).

Check that the audio settings (volume, bass,
treble, ambience, 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 ambience setting is deselected.
When changing the ambience setting, treble
and bass are reset to zero.

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

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

204

AUDIO and TELEMATICS

QUESTION

RESPONSE

SOLUTION

When changing the balance setting, distribution
is deselected.

Choosing a distribution setting imposes a
balance setting. Modifying one without the other
is not possible.

Modify the balance setting or the distribution
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.

The reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the stored stations are
not working (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed ...).

The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of
the station or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.

Activate the RDS mode and start a new search
for the station so that the system can check
whether a stronger transmitter is available in the
geographic 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 an automatic car
wash or in an underground car park).

Have the antenna checked by the PEUGEOT
network.

Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS

searches for another frequency giving 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 BAND button to return to the
waveband on which the stations are stored.

QUESTION

RESPONSE

SOLUTION

The CD is ejected every time or is not played.

The CD is upside down, cannot be read, does
not contain audio files or contains audio files
of a format that cannot be played by the audio

not recognised by the audio system.

- Check that the CD is inserted in the player

- Check the condition of the CD: the CD

cannot be played if it is too badly damaged.

- Check the content in the case of a recorded

CD: consult the advice in the "Audio"
section.

- The audio system CD player does not read

DVDs.

- Due to insufficient quality, certain burned

CDs will not be read by the audio system.

The CD sound is of poor quality.

The CD used in scratched or of poor quality.

Insert good quality CDs and store them in
suitable conditions.

The audio settings (bass, treble, ambience) are
unsuitable.

Return bass and treble settings to 0, without
selecting an ambience.

I am unable to connect my Bluetooth telephone. It is possible that Bluetooth is switched off on

the telephone or that the telephone has been
made not visible.

- Check that your telephone has Bluetooth

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 at www.peugeot.co.uk (services).

The Bluetooth connection is cut.

The battery of the peripheral may not be

QUESTION

RESPONSE

SOLUTION

The "USB peripheral error" or "Peripheral not
recognised" message appears on the screen.

The USB memory stick is not recognised.
The memory stick could be corrupt.

Reformat the memory stick (FAT 32).

A telephone connects automatically,
disconnecting another telephone.

Automatic connection overrides manual
connection.

Modify the telephone settings to remove
automatic connection.

The Apple

player is not recognised when

connecting to the USB port.

The Apple

player is of a generation that is not

compatible with a USB connection.

Connect the Apple

player to the AUX Jack

socket using a suitable cable (not supplied).

The hard disk or peripheral is not recognised
when connecting to the USB socket.

Some hard disks and devices need a power
supply greater than is provided by the audio
system.

Connect the peripheral to the 230 V socket, the
12V socket or an external power supply.

Caution: ensure that the device does not

transmit a voltage greater than 5 V (risk of
destruction of the system).

When streaming, the sound cuts momentarily.

Some telephones prioritise connection of the
"hands-free" profile.

Delete the "hands-free" connection profile to
improve streaming.

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.

Turn the ignition on to increase charge of the
battery.
