Playing a CD
With the ignition on, insert a CD partway into the slot,
label side up. The player will pull it in, and the CD should
begin playing. READING DISC and the CD symbol
will appear on the display. If you want to insert a CD with
the ignition off, ﬁrst press the EJECT button or push
the RCL knob. If you insert a CD with the radio off and
the ignition on, it will start to play.
If you select an EQ setting for your CD, it will be
activated each time you play a CD.
If you turn off the ignition or the radio with a CD in the
player, it will stay in the player. When you turn on
the ignition or the radio, the CD will start to play if it was
the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number will
appear on the display.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm) single
CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the
smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced
due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been recorded, and the way the
CD-R has been handled. You may experience an
increase in skipping, difficulty in ﬁnding tracks and/or
difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur
try a known good CD.Do not add paper labels to CDs, they could get caught
in the CD player.
If an error appears on the display, see “CD Messages”
later in this section.

If you wish to play large numbers of ﬁles, folders,
playlists, or sessions minimize the length of the ﬁle,
folder, or playlist name. You can also play an MP3 CD
that was recorded using no ﬁle folders. The system
can support up to 11 folders in depth, though, keep the
depth of the folders to a minimum in order to keep
down the complexity and confusion in trying to locate a
particular folder during playback. If a CD contains
more than the maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists,
10 sessions, and 255 ﬁles the player will let you access
and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum will be ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio ﬁles, the directory
will be displayed as F1 ROOT. All ﬁles contained directly
under the root directory will be accessed prior to any
root directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will always
be accessed before root folders or ﬁles.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the
ﬁle structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no
compressed ﬁles directly beneath them, the player will
advance to the next folder in the ﬁle structure that
contains compressed audio ﬁles and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD contains only compressed ﬁles, the ﬁles will
be located under the root folder. The next and previous
folder functions will have no function on a CD that was
recorded without folders or playlists. When displaying the
name of the folder the radio will display ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists and compressed
audio ﬁles, but no folders, all ﬁles will be located under
the root folder. The folder down and the folder up
buttons will search playlists (Px) ﬁrst and then go to the
root folder. When the radio displays the name of the
folder the radio will display ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks will be played in the following order:
•Play will begin from the ﬁrst track in the ﬁrst playlist
and will continue sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist
has been played, play will continue from the ﬁrst
track of the ﬁrst playlist.
•If the CD does not contain any playlists, then play will
begin from the ﬁrst track under the root directory.
When all tracks from the root directory have been
played, play will continue from ﬁles according to their
numerical listing. After playing the last track from the
last folder, play will begin again at the ﬁrst track of
the ﬁrst folder or root directory.

When play enters a new folder, the display will not
automatically show the new folder name unless
you have chosen the folder mode as the default display,
see RCL later in this section. The new track name
will appear on the display.
File System and Naming
The song name that will be displayed will be the song
name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name
is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio will
display the ﬁle name without the extension (such
as.mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or 4 pages will
be shortened. The display will not show parts of
words on the last page of text and the extension of the
ﬁlename will not be displayed.
Preprogrammed Playlists
You can access preprogrammed playlists which were
created by WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real
Jukebox™ software, however, you will not have editing
capability. These playlists will be treated as special
folders containing compressed audio song ﬁles.
Playing a MP3
With the ignition on, insert a CD partway into the slot,
label side up. The player will pull it in and the CD
will begin to play after the player has read the table of
contents and the ﬁle structure and determined where the
ﬁrst playable track is located. READING DISC will
appear on the display. After the MP3 has been read,
the number of folders and tracks will be displayed, then
the radio will go back to the default display. The CD
symbol will appear on the display. If you want to insert
an MP3 with the ignition off, ﬁrst press the EJECT
button or push the RCL knob. If you insert a CD with
the radio off and the ignition on, it will start to play.
If you select an EQ setting for your CD, it will be
activated each time you play a CD.
If you turn off the ignition or the radio with a CD in the
player, it will stay in the player. When you turn on
the ignition or the radio, the CD will start to play if it was
the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number will
appear on the display.
The CD player can play the smaller 8cm single CDs
with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs
are loaded in the same manner.
