CD Messages
CHECK CD:If this message displays and/or the
CD comes out, it could be for one of the
following reasons:
It is very hot. When the temperature returns
to normal, the CD should play.
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.
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/retailer. If the
radio displays an error message, write it down and
provide it to your dealer/retailer when reporting
the problem.
Using an MP3
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.
261

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.
Do not use CD-RW discs.
Do not use colored discs.
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 could 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 does not display.
No Folder
When the CD contains only compressed les, the
les are located under the root folder. The next
and previous folder functions will not function on a
CD that was recorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the folder the
radio displays ROOT.
262

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 searches playlists (Px)
rst and then goes to the root folder. When
the radio displays the name of the folder the
radio displays ROOT.
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 unless
the folder mode has been chosen as the default
display. See the information button later in
this section for more information. 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
four 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 by
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.
263

Playing an MP3
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up.
The player pulls it in, and READING displays.
The CD should begin playing and the CD symbol
displays.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD-R
in the player, it stays in the player. When the
ignition or radio is turned on, the CD-R starts to
play where it stopped, if it was the last selected
audio source.
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 (and playback
performance) can be reduced due to the CD-R
quality, method of recording, the quality of
the music that has been recorded, and the way
the CD-R has been handled. For better playback
performance when home burning audio discs,
use brand named CD media with the [“Compact
Disc” trade mark logo], and a burn rate no
faster than 12X.There could 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 does not play properly.
If the surface of the CD is soiled, seeCare of
Your CDs on page 271for 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.
