"BOSE" sound package settings
AudioPilot®
This patented technology from Bose uses a
microphone to continuously monitor the sound
level in the vehicle.
Background noise is recorded via a filter and
compared to the signals from the sound source
(e.g. a CD). The volume and dynamic properties of
the source frequencies (which overlay the
background noise) are continuously and
automatically adapted in real time using a noise
compensation algorithm. This means that manual
readjustment of the sound and volume settings is
not necessary.The music is no longer affected by
unwanted noise and the listener can enjoy an
undistorted listening experience.
fPress the AudioPilot SoftKey.
AudioPilot is now switched ON or OFF .
Linear
When Linear is activated, the CDR30 switches
from an accentuated-bass sound mode (Linear
OFF) to a more audiophilic sound mode (Linear
ON).
fPress the Linear SoftKey.
Linear is now switched ON or OFF .
Surround®
This technology developed by Bose generates five
separate audio channels from conventional stereo
recordings. By transferring this information to the
SurroundStage® signal processing system it is
possible to generate a surround sound experience
that is specially tuned and balanced to the vehicle,
even when listening to a CD.
Centerpoint® is optimised for the creation of
surround sound for digital media. It is therefore
possible that the surround sound functionality may
be limited when used in areas with weak FM radio
signals due to insufficient reception quality. AM
transmissions cannot be received or listened to in
surround sound.
fPress the Surround SoftKey.
Surround is now switched ON or OFF .

Stickers may become loose and damage the
CDR30.
– Uneven road surfaces and other sources of
vibration may cause interruptions during
operation of the CD player.
Tips for use of compact discs (CD)
– Dirty or scratched CDs may cause audible
gaps during playback. Please observe the
following advice to ensure optimal sound
reproduction:
– Always hold the CD at the edge. Never touch
the surface of the CD and ensure it remains
clean.
– Do not attach anything to the CD.
– Protect CDs from sources of heat such as
radiators.
– Clean CDs before use with a generally available
specialist cleaning cloth, working from the
centre outwards. Cleaning solutions such as
petrol, white spirit or other commercially
available cleaning products and antistatic
sprays should not be used.
Tips for use of CD-ROMs and MP3-CDs
– Acceptable file systems: ISO9660/Joliet for
CD storage media
– Acceptable storage media: CD-R and CD-RW
– The CDR30 can be used to play back audio
CDs and MP3 CDs. MP3 CDs are data CDs that
also include folders.
– Acceptable bit rates for MP3 mode: fixed and
variable bit rates up to 320 kBit/s#
– Acceptable sampling rates for MP3 mode:
24 kHz to 48 kHz
– A delay may occur when reading MP3 discs,
depending on the format used and amount of
data stored.
– ID3 tags are not supported, instead the
filename is displayed in MP3 mode.
– The CDR30 can also read copy-protected
audio CDs, provided that the copy protection
method was known at the time of manufacture.
It may not be possible to read CDs protected
with newer copy protection algorithms.
– CDs with parts of the CD-ROM that do not
correspond to the audio CD standard may not
play on the system.
– CDs with more than 700 MB data volume can
also cause playback problems.
