Playing a CD
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The
player will pull it in and the CD should begin playing. 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 the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the
player, it will stay in the player. When the ignition or the
radio is turned on, the CD will start playing, where it
stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
READING DISC and the CD symbol will appear on the
display, when a CD is loaded. The track number will
appear on the display, as each new track starts to play.
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. There may be 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.

The player will be able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 ﬁles. Long
ﬁle, folder, or playlist names or a combination of a large
number of ﬁles and folders or playlists may cause the
player to be unable to play up to the maximum number of
ﬁles, folders, playlists, or sessions. 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 for more information.
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
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 appear on the display, 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.
