Playing an MP3 CD-R Disc
The vehicle’s radio system could have the MP3
feature. If it has this feature, it is capable of playing
an MP3 CD-R disc. For more information on how
to play an MP3 CD-R disc, seeUsing an MP3
on page 297later in this section.
CD Messages
If the CD comes out, it could be for one of the
following reasons:
If it is very hot. When the temperature returns
to normal, the CD should play.
If you are driving on a very rough road.
When the road becomes smoother, the
CD should play.
The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or
upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour
and try again.
The format of the CD might not be compatible.
SeeUsing an MP3 on page 297later in this
section.
There could have been a problem while burning
the CD.
The label could be caught in the CD player.If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other
reason, try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot
be corrected, contact your dealer. If the radio
displays an error message, write it down and
provide it to your dealer when reporting the
problem.

MP3 CD-R Disc
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 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 .mp3 or .wpl
extension, other le extensions might not work.
Files can be recorded with a variety of xed or
variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and
album are 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.
297

The player is 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 might 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 lets you access and
navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum are ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory is treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio les, the
directory is displayed as F1 ROOT. All les
contained directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory folders.
However, playlists (Px) are always 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 advances to the next
folder in the le structure that contains compressed
audio les. The empty folder is not displayed.
No Folder
When the CD contains only compressed les, the
les are located under the root folder. The next
and previous folder functions do not function on a
CD that was recorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the folder the
radio displays ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists and
compressed audio les, but no folders, all les are
located under the root folder. The folder down
and the folder up buttons search playlists (Px) rst
and then go to the root folder. When the radio
displays the name of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.
298

Order of Play
Tracks are played in the following order:
Play begins from the rst track in the rst
playlist and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each playlist. When the last track
of the last playlist has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst playlist.
If the CD does not contain any playlists, then
play begins from the rst track under the root
directory. When all tracks from the root
directory have played, play continues from
les according to their numerical listing. After
playing the last track from the last folder,
play begins again at the rst track of the rst
folder or root directory.
When play enters a new folder, the display does
not automatically show the new folder name.
The new track name displays.
File System and Naming
The song name that is displayed is the song name
that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song
name is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio
displays the le name without the extension
(such as .mp3) as the track name.Track names longer than 32 characters or
4 pages are shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension of the lename
does not display.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created using
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed, however, they cannot
be edited using the radio. These playlists are
treated as special folders containing compressed
audio song les.
Playing an MP3
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up.
The player pulls it in, and LOADING CD appears
on the display. The CD should begin playing
and the CD symbol appears on the display. If the
ignition and the radio are on, the CD begins
playing. A CD can be loaded with the radio off,
but it does not start playing until the radio is on.
If the ignition or radio is turned off while a CD is
in the player, it stays in the player. When the
ignition or radio is turned on, the CD starts to play
where it stopped, if it was the last selected
audio source.
299

As each new track starts to play, the track
number displays.
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 can 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 can 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 313for 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.Notice:If a label is added to a CD, or more
than one CD is inserted into the slot at a time,
or an attempt is made to play scratched or
damaged CDs, the CD player could be
damaged. While 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.
