ANSWER
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.
The CD used is scratched or of poor quality.
The audio settings (bass, treble, ambiance) are unsuitable.
In "Random all" play, the system can only take into account up to
999 tracks.
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.
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.
SOLUTION
- 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.
Insert good quality CDs and store them in
suitable conditions.
Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting
an ambiance.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
