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

and Thomson multimedia.
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.

TRACK PLAYING MODE
When playing a CD-ROM with MP3 files,
the sound system will display the track
name and play time (e.g. “MIDNIGHT
MOTION 4:37”).
During playback the following operations
can be performed:
– continuous or single scroll on track
name
– scrolling tracks up or down according to
single, multiple or continuous mode
– scrolling folders up or down (see next
paragraph “FOLDER STRUCTURE”).DISP FUNCTION
This function enables to change display
settings for the different CD info (e.g. files,
folder, singer’s name, album name, etc.).
To turn this function on keep button 4
DISPpressed for over 2 seconds and then use
the button/knob ON/OFF to select the in-
fo to display.
In MP3 mode, the sound system will:
– play MP3 files only
– play the tracks in alphabetic-numeric or-
der for each folder (also ordered with the
same criteria) (it is recommended to put
a number before the file name, e.g. “01”,
“02” or “001”, “002”)
– return to the start of the last file each
time the sound system is turned on.During track selection (see paragraph
track selection (forward/backward), the
display will show the folder number and
the track number and name (e.g. “3/13
MIDNIGHT MOTION”).
To facilitate track selection, the sound sys-
tem stores the number of pushes on pre-
set buttons (1 to 6) and then will skip once
like for a single request.
IMPORTANT MP3 files recorded with the
variable bit-rate method could produce
discrepancies when displaying the track
play time.
IMPORTANT The CD player can read
most of the compression systems cur-
rently on sale (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING,
FRAUNHOFER) however, due to the
evolution of these systems, reading of all
compression formats is not guaranteed.

FOLDER STRUCTURE
The sound system with MP3 player:
– only recognizes folders that actually con-
tain MP3 files
– if MP3 files contained in a CD-ROM are
structured in several “sub-folders”, it will
level the structure of sub-folders in or-
der to obtain a single-level structure, i.e.:
it brings back “sub-folders” to main fold-
er level (see the example below).
Example: With a CD structured as fol-
lows:
+- MP3 collection - Volume 1
*- Celine Dion
*- Falling into you
|- It’s all coming back to me
now.mp3
|- Because you loved me.mp3
*- Incognito
|- Incognito.mp3
|- Lolita.mp3
|- Delivre-Moi.mp3*- Prodigy
*- Experience
|- Jericho.mp3
|- Wind it up.mp3
|- Out of space.mp3
*- The fat of the land
*- Favourite songs
|- Breathe.mp3
|- Firestarter.mp3
The sound system will recognize and will
pass progressively from one folder to the
other as follows:
*- Falling into you
*- Incognito
*- Experience
*- Favourite songs
Icon *indicates that the sound system is
displaying the folder name. Each time you
scroll folders up or down, the folder name
and number will be displayed (with max.
length of 15-18 characters, according to
the folder number).Selecting by the RDSMENU button the op-
tion “ON” or “ONCE” of the name scroll
function (see paragraph “NAME SCROLL
FUNCTION”), will obtain single scroll of
the full folder name in folder display mode,
before returning to shortened displaying.
SELECT NEXT/PREVIOUS
FOLDER
Press briefly button 1 CD /*+ to select
tracks contained in the next folder.
Press briefly button 2 CD /*– to select
tracks contained in the previous folder.
The display will show the number and the
name of the next/previous folder (e.g.: “9
MISC COLLECTION”).
