Playing a CD (Single CD Player)
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The
player will pull it in and the CD should begin playing.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the
player, it will stay in the player. When the ignition or
radio is turned on, the CD will start playing where
it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
When a CD is inserted, the CD symbol will appear on
the radio display. As each new track starts to play
the track number will appear on the display.
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 nding tracks, and/or difficulty in
loading and ejecting. If these problems occur, check
the bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD is
damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the
CD will not play properly. If the surface of the CD
is soiled, seeCare of Your CDs on page 3-124for
more information.If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.
Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the
CD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal computer
and a description label is needed, try labeling the top
of the recorded CD with a marking pen instead.
Notice:If you add any label to a CD, insert more
than one CD into the slot at a time, or attempt
to play scratched or damaged CDs, you could
damage the CD player. When using the CD player,
use only CDs in good condition without any

Using an MP3/WMA CD-R or
CD-RW Disc
The radio will play MP3 and WMA les that were
recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc. The les can be
recorded with the following xed bit rates: 32 kbps,
40 kbps, 56 kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps, 96 kbps, 112 kbps,
128 kbps, 160 kbps, 192 kbps, 224 kbps, 256 kbps,
and 320 kbps or a variable bit rate. Song title, artist
name, and album will be available for display by
the radio when recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio will also play discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and
MP3/WMA les.By default the radio will read only the uncompressed
audio and ignore the MP3/WMA les. Pressing the
CAT button will toggle between compressed and
uncompressed audio format.
MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a personal
computer:
Make sure the MP3 les are recorded on a
CD-R disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3 les on one disc.
Make sure playlists have a.m3u or.wpl extension,
other le extensions may not work.
Files can be recorded with a variety of xed or
variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and album
will be available for display by the radio when
recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to nd
songs while driving. Organize songs by albums using
one folder for each album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
Make sure to nalize the disc when burning an MP3
disc, using multiple sessions. It is usually better to
burn the disc all at once.
3-115

The CD player is able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les. You can change
playlists by using the previous and next folder buttons,
the tuner knob, or the seek buttons. Long le names,
folder names, or playlist names may use more disc
memory space than necessary. To conserve space on
the disc, minimize the length of the le, folder or playlist
names. You can also play an MP3 CD-R that was
recorded using no le folders. The system can support up
to 8 folders in depth, however, keep the total number of
folders to a minimum in order to reduce the complexity
and confusion in trying to locate a particular folder during
playback. If a CD-R contains more than the maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les, 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 of the CD-R is treated as a folder. If the
root directory has compressed audio les, the directory
will be displayed as F1 ROOT. All les 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 les.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the
le structure that contains only folders/subfolders and
no compressed les directly beneath them, the player
will advance to the next folder in the le structure that
contains compressed audio les and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD-R contains only compressed les, the
les will be located under the root folder. The next and
previous folder functions will not be displayed on a
CD-R that was recorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the folder the radio
will display ROOT.
When the CD-R contains only playlists and compressed
audio les, but no folders, all les will be located under
the root folder. The folder down and the folder up buttons
will search playlists (Px) rst and then go to the root
folder. When the radio displays the name of the folder
the radio will display ROOT.
