Media
Introduction

and provides various options for connecting devi
ces. For example, you can play audio/video* files
from the jukebox or connect a mobile device to
the Audi music interface* and operate it via the
MMI.
Notes
General
Media and format limitations:
The MMI system
(including the SD card reader and the connection
for the USB mass storage device*) has been tes
ted for use with many of the products and media
currently available on the market. However,
there may be some devices/media and audio/vid
eo* files that are not supported or cannot be
played, or the functionality may be limited under
certain circumstances.
Digital rights management:
Please note that
copyright law applies to audio/video files.
The MMI media drives do not support ORM-pro
tected files; these files are marked with the sym
bol
rn.
Data storage:
Never store important data on SD
cards, the jukebox*, CDs/DVDs or mobile devices.
AUDI AG shall not accept any liability whatsoever
for the loss of files 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 con
tains only audio/video* files. If you want to re
duce 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 ad
ditionally if you are importing data.
Metadata:
Metadata stored on audio files (e.g.
artists, tracks, album covers) will be displayed
�
automatically when the files are played. If this
�
information is not stored on the relevant medi-
8
um, the MMI system will use the database of
"
Vl
Media
metadata from Gracenote. Nevertheless, meta
data may not be displayed in some cases.

stricted performance, reset the

CD/DVD mode
CD/DVD and format limitations:
In view of the
variety of CDs/DVDs and the difference in memo
ry capacities, the functionality may be restricted
in the case of some storage devices. Under cer
tain circumstances, audio CDs/video DVDs that
are copy-protected or CDs/DVDs that do not com
ply with the standard audio format, and multi
session CDs cannot be played at all, or the func
tionality may be limited. We recommend always
finalising the burning process when creating
multisession CDs. Multisession is not supported
for DVDs.
Handling CDs/DVDs, the CD drive or the DVD
drive:
To ensure perfect, high-quality playback
and avoid scanning errors or damage to the me
dia drive, always store CDs/DVDs in a suitable
case and do not expose them to direct sunlight.
Do
not
use:
- Damaged, dirty or scratched CDs/DVDs
- Single CDs/DVDs (diameter 8 cm)
- Non-circular CDs/DVDs (shape CDs)

cold outside temperatures, it is possible that CD/
DVD playback will temporarily not be possible. A
