Using the Six-Disc CD Changer
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 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
and DVDs on page 319for more information.If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.
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 label, load one CD at a time, and
keep the CD player and the loading slot free of
foreign materials, liquids, and debris.
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.
If an error appears on the display, see “CD
Messages” later in this section.
When a CD is inserted, the CD functions will
appear on the display above the pushbuttons, in
place of the preset stations, if programmed.
M(Load):Press this button to load CDs into
the CD player. This CD player will hold up to
six CDs.
284

The player will be able to read and play a
maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions,
and 255 les. 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 that
was recorded using no le 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 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 will be 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 contains only compressed les, the
les 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 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.
