Using an MP3 (Radio with Six-Disc
Player)
MP3/WMA CD-R Disc
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
•Make sure the MP3/WMA files are recorded
on a CD-R disc.
•Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA
files on one disc.
•Make sure each MP3/WMA file has a .m3u or
.wma extension, other file extensions might
not work.
•Files can be recorded with a variety of fixed 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
find 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 finalize the disc when burning
an MP3/WMA disc, using multiple sessions.
It is usually better to burn the disc all at once.
The player is able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, five sessions, and 999 files. Long file
names and folder names might use more disc
memory space than necessary. To conserve space
on the disc, minimize the length of the file and folder
names. An MP3/WMA CD that was recorded using
no file folders can also be played. The system can
support up to eight folders in depth, though, keep
the depth of the folders to a minimum in order to
keep down the difficulty and confusion in trying to
locate a particular folder during playback. If a CD
contains more than the maximum of 50 folders, five
sessions, and 999 files, the player lets you access
and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum is ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory is treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio files, the
directory is displayed as ROOT. All files contained
directly under the root directory are accessed
prior to any other directory.
211

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 advances to the next
folder in the file structure that contains compressed
audio files. The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When a CD contains only compressed files, the
files are located under the root folder. The
next and previous folder function does not function
on a CD that was recorded without folders or
playlists. When displaying the name of the folder
the radio displays ROOT.
When a CD contains only compressed audio files,
but no folders, all files are located under the
root folder. When the radio displays the name of
the folder, the radio displays ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks is played in the following order:
•Playback begins from the first track under the
root directory.
•When all tracks from the root directory have
played, playback continues from files,
according to their numerical listing.
•After playing the last track from the last folder,
the player begins playing again at the first
track of the first folder or root directory.
File System and Naming
The song name in the ID3 tag is displayed. If the
song name is not present in the ID3 tag, then
the radio displays the file name without the
extension (such as MP3/WMA) instead.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four
pages are shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension of the filename
does not display.
212

Playing an MP3/WMA
While the ignition is on, insert a CD partway into
the slot, label side up. The player pulls it in,
Loading, then Filecheck, and then MP3 or WMA
displays. The CD should begin playing. A CD plays
only while the ignition is on or ACC (accessory).
As each new track starts to play, the track number,
and the song name displays.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in
the player, it stays in the player. When a CD is in
the player and the ignition is turned on, the
radio must be turned on before the CD starts
playback. When the ignition and radio are turned
on, the CD starts playing where it stopped, if it
was the last selected audio source.
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 finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loadingand 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 216for 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.
If an error displays, see “CD Messages” later in
this section.

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static during normal
radio reception can occur if items such as cell
phone chargers, vehicle convenience accessories,
and external electronic devices are plugged into
the accessory power outlet. If there is interference
or static, unplug the item from the accessory
power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The longer range can
cause station frequencies to interfere with each
other. For better radio reception, most AM
radio stations boost the power levels during the
day, and then reduce these levels during the night.
Static can also occur when things like storms
and power lines interfere with radio reception.
When this happens, try reducing the treble on
your radio.
FM Stereo
FM stereo gives the best sound, but FM signals
reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to fade in and out.
Care of Your CDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the
bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a
CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD does not play properly or not
at all. If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a
soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in
a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with
water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process
starts from the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.
Care of the CD Player
Do not use CD lens cleaners for CD players
because the lens of the CD optics can become
contaminated by lubricants.
