a portable player to the Audi music interface

Notes
General notes
Media and format limitations:
The MMI sys-
tem (including the SD card reader and the
connection for the USB mass storage device*)
has been tested for use with many of the
products and media currently available on the
market. However, there may be some devices/
media and audio/video* files that are not sup-
ported or cannot be played, or the functionali-
ty may be limited under certain circumstan-
ces.
Copyright: Please note that audio/video* files
are copyright-protected.
The MMI media drives do not support DRM-
protected files; these files are marked with
the symbol
.
Data storage: Never store important data on
SD cards, the jukebox, CDs/DVDs or portable
players. Audi shall not accept any liability
whatsoever for the loss of files or data and
media.
Loading times: The more files, folders or play-
lists are stored on a storage device, the longer
it will take to load the audio files/video* files.
We recommend using a storage device which
contains only audio/video* files. If you want
to reduce the time it takes to load the audio/
video* files, you can create subfolders (e.g. for
an artist or album). The loading time will be
extended additionally if you are importing da-
ta.
Additional information: Additional informa-
tion stored on audio files (e.g. artists, tracks,
album covers) will be displayed automatically
when the files ar
e played. If this information
is not stored on the relevant medium, the
MMI system will use Gracenote®. Neverthe-
less, additional information may not be dis-
played in some cases.
Restricted functionality: If you experience re-
stricted functionality, reset the Media set-
tings to the factory defaults ð page 31.
For information on the characteristics of the
supported media and file formats, please re-
fer to ð page 27.
CD/DVD mode
CD
/DVD and format limitations: In view of
the variety of CDs/DVDs and the difference in
memory capacities, the functionality may be
restricted in the case of some storage devices.
Under certain circumstances, audio CDs/video
DVDs that are copy-protected or CDs/DVDs
that do not comply with the standard audio
format, and multisession CDs cannot be
played at all, or the functionality may be limi-
ted. We recommend always finalising the
burning process when creating multisession
CDs. Multisession is not supported for DVDs.
Handling CDs/DVDs and the DVD drive: To
ensure perfect, high-quality playback and
avoid read error messages or damage to the
media drive, always store unused CDs/DVDs in
a suitable case and do not expose them to di-
rect sunlight. Do not use:
– Damaged, dirty or scratched CDs/DVDs
– Single CDs/DVDs (diameter 8 cm / 3 inches)
– Non-circular CDs/DVDs (shape CDs)
– CDs/DVDs with stickers
– Protective rings
– Cleaning disks
Thermal cut-out: In the case of extremely hot
or cold outside temperatures, it is possible
that the playback of a CD/DVD will temporari-
ly not function. A thermostat switch is instal-
led to protect the CD/DVD and the reading la-
ser.
