40As many as 99 tracks can be shown, although all those contained in the
folder can be played
A title with three figures will not show the hundreds on the screen, only the
last two.
The music can be controlled via the radio keys. Choosing and playing songs,
fast forward and rewind and random playback are described in the radio
manual of your vehicle.
If there are folders in the root director y individual files will not be played, so
all data in the root directory should be in folders
Storing files in a memory stick or MP3 player
Store files in folders instead of using th e root directory of the memory stick or
player. In this way the songs can be st ored in order (eg all the songs in a
certain style in the same folder).
The function keys to of the radio can only select the first 5 folders.
If there are more than 6 folders in the memory stick or MP3 player their
content cannot be played.
The folders can be subdivided into subfolders eg different albums by an
artist.
Example of a music folder structure:
Playback of music via USB connection
Connect the memory stick or MP3 player with the USB extension cable to the
USB port.
The screen will show the first 6 folders detected by the USB port, displayed as
CD 1 to CD 6 . Folders without music files will not be included.
If there are more than 6 music folders in the device, the exact number of
folders can be shown using the CD options. If the music files are not classified into
folders, but stored directly in the root
directory, the radio will read the files and play them in the same order. The
display then shows CD 1.
Music files and folders will be played in alphabetical order, so files begin-
niing woth numbers will be selected first, before those with letters. A file with
the name 1XXXXXXXX will be played before another with the name AAAAAA.
Screen indications
When selecting a music file with the CD keys, it appears iin the radio equip-
ment screen Track 1 .
As many as 99 tracks can be shown.
WARNING

Adjust the volume so that external no ise can be heard at all times, such
as police, fire and emergency services sirens.
•
Never remove the memory stick or MP3 player when driving.Note
•
Before turning off the engine, the USB port memorises the position of the
song playing As long as the content is not changed, the system will start
again from this point.
•
If many songs are skipped, there may be a delay during playback.
•
The detection of the memory stick or MP3 playere requires a few seconds
depending on the type of memory used.
•
The title of the song is not shown on the screen.

MP3 mode.
12)
Depending on the quality of the medium and the characteristics of the
recording some CDs may not be read. Th is is normal and is not a sign of
malfunction.
If a CD-R / CD-RW disc has not been closed, it cannot be played
13).
What are MP3 files? MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standardised technology and format for the
compression of sound sequen ces. The sound file is compressed to about
1/10th of its original size. Sounds th at are out of the human hearing range
are excluded while those that are within the range are compressed.Accepted recording formatsIt is possible to play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs. The unit supports MP3 discs that have been formatted using the ISO 9660
standard level 1 or 2. The unit can also play discs recorded using the Romeo
or Joliet standard.
The unit will not play CDs recorded using “Packet writing” (UDF or Direct CD
formats) whether this has been used on the entire disc or within a session. In
this case the display will display an error message and eject the CD.
ISO 9660 format
This is the most common of international standards for the format logic of
files and folders on a CD-ROM.
There are different levels of specification. For level 1, the names must be in
8.3 format (8 characters maximum for the name of the file + 3 characters for
the extension “.MP3”. Folder names ca
nnot be more than 8 letters long.
However, Level 2 specifications allow up to 31 characters.
Multi-session CDs
This method of recording means that information may later be added to the
CD (while there is enough space remaining and the CD is not closed). The
information on each recorded CD is contained within an area marked by two
data labels called “Lead-in” for the be ginning of the area and “Lead-out” for
the end of the area. A multi-session CD will allow for multiple segments that
contain their own “Lead-in” and “Lead-out”.
Information from the ID3 data fieldThe ID3 data of an MP3 file· contains information about the Artist, Album and
the name of the track.
12)The MP3 functions· are only available on the radio version with MP3.13)A process required so that a CD-R/CD-RW can be played by an audio CD player. Any CD
with a session open (not finalized) will not be recognized and the display will show an
error message.
