INTRODUCTION
This section only describes MP3 CD play-
er operation variants : as concerns sound
system operation, refer to section
“FUNCTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS”.

MP3 MODE
In addition to standard audio CDs, the
sound system can also play audio files in
MP3 format. Sound system will operate as
described for the sound system with com-
pact disc player when inserting a conven-
tional audio CD, excluding functions CD
NAMING/TRACK SELECTION (TPM)
and CD NAMING that are disabled.READING MP3 CD
Inserting a CD-ROM into the proper slot
will start two stages:
– Scanning all CD tracks to find audio files.
Audio files take priority over the other
files and their identification enables the
sound system to play just these files. The
display will show the name and the word
“SCAN” flashing (e.g. “MIDNIGHT MO-
TION SCAN”).
– Reading all MP3 files to determine the
structure of folders and tracks. During this
stage the display will show the message
“READING DISC”. To read a complex
MP3 file structure (made up of different
sessions with several folders and files), ap-
proximately 2 minutes can be required.
For optimal playing use only top quality
CDs mastered at as low as possible speed.
CD-ROM reading will be interrupted in
the following cases:
– correct CD-ROM reading with MP3 files
identification. In this event the display will
show the “MP3” icon and track playback
will start from the first file and first fold-
er (see next paragraph “TRACK PLAY-
ING MODE”);– if after 2 minutes the CD-ROM reading
is not ended. The display will show, for
about 5 seconds, the message “CHECK
DISC”. In this event the sound system will
change the sound source and return to the
Tuner (Radio) mode.
– if no MP3 file is found. In this event the
display will show, for about 5 seconds, the
message “NO MP3 FILES”. In this event
the sound system will change the sound
source and return to the Tuner (Radio)
mode.
