standard, and multisession CDs may not play

or playback may be limited. Audi recommends
finalizing the recording process when creating
multisession CDs.

Handling CDs and the CD drive: To ensure

good, high-quality sound reproduction and to
prevent damage to the drive or disc reading
errors, always store CDs in a protective sleeve
and do not expose them to direct sunlight . Do

not use:

- Damaged, dirty or scratched CDs

- Single CDs (3 inch/8 cm diameter)

riety of products and media on the market.
However, there may be cases where individual

devices and audio/video files* are not recog-

nized or may play only with restrictions or may
not play at all.

Data protection: Note that audio/video files*

are subject to copyright laws. The media
drives do not play files protected by ORM and

Thermal protection switch: CD playback may

be temporarily unavailable if outside temper­atures are extremely hot or cold. A thermal
protection switch is installed to protect the
CD and the laser.

Laser devices: Laser devices are divided into

safety classes 1 to 4 in accordance with DIN
IEC 76 (CO) 6/VDE 0837. The various types of
audio equipment installed conform to safety
class 1. The laser uses so little power or is
shielded so there is no danger when it is used

Loading times : The more files/folders/play-

lists that are on a storage medium, the longer
it will take to load the audio/video files* . Audi

recommends using storage media that only
contain audio/video files*. To decrease the
time it takes to load audio/video files*, create
subfolders (for example according to artist or
album).
