Playing a CD (In Either the DVD
or CD Slot)
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up.
The player will pull it in and the CD should begin
playing (loading a disc into the system, depending
on media type and format ranges from
5 to 20 seconds for a CD, and up to 30 seconds
for a DVD to begin playing).
If the ignition or radio is turned off, with a CD in
the player, it will stay in the player. When the
ignition or radio is turned on, the CD will
start playing where it stopped, if it was the last
selected audio source. The CD is controlled by the
buttons on the radio faceplate or by the RSA
unit. SeeRear Seat Audio (RSA) on page 332for
more information. The DVD/CD decks, (upper
slot is the DVD deck and the lower slot is the CD
deck) of the radio are compatible with most
audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3s.
When a CD is inserted, the text label DVD or CD
symbol will appear on the left side of the radio
display. As each new track starts to play, the track
number will appear on the display.

DVD/CD AUX (Auxiliary):Press this button to
cycle through DVD, CD, or Auxiliary when listening
to the radio. The DVD/CD text label and a message
showing track or chapter number will appear on
display when a disc is in either slot. Press this
button again and the system will automatically
search for an auxiliary input device, such as a
portable audio player. If a portable audio player is
not connected, “no aux input device” will be
displayed. If a disc is in both the DVD slot and the
CD slot the DVD/CD AUX button will cycle between
the two sources and not indicate “no aux input
device”. If a front auxiliary device is connected, the
DVD/CD AUX button will cycle through all available
options, such as: DVD slot, CD slot, Front AUX, and
Rear AUX (if available). See “Using the Auxiliary
Input Jack(s)” later in this section, orRear Seat
Entertainment System on page 321, “Audio/Video
(A/V) Jacks” for more information.
If a disc is inserted into top DVD slot, the rear seat
operator can turn on the video screen and use the
remote control to navigate the CD (tracks only)
through the remote control.Audio Output
Only one audio source can be heard through the
speakers at one time. An audio source is
dened as DVD slot, CD slot, XM™, FM/AM,
Front Aux Jack, or Rear Aux Jack.
Press the power button to turn the radio on.
The radio can be heard through all of the vehicle
speakers.
Front seat passengers can listen to the radio
(AM, FM, or XM) by pressing the BAND button or
the DVD/CD AUX button to select CD slot,
DVD slot, front or rear auxiliary input (if available).
If a playback device is plugged into the radio’s
front auxiliary input jack or the rear auxiliary jack,
the front seat passengers will be able to listen
to playback from this source through the vehicle
speakers. See “Using the Auxiliary Input Jack(s)”
later in this section, orRear Seat Entertainment
System on page 321, “Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks” for
more information.
In some vehicles, depending on audio options, the
rear speakers can be muted when the RSA
power is turned on. SeeRear Seat Audio (RSA)
on page 332for more information.

Using an MP3/WMA CD-R or
CD-RW Disc
Compressed Audio or Mixed Mode Discs
The radio will also play discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and MP3/
WMA les depending on which slot the disc is
loaded into. By default the radio will read only the
uncompressed audio (.CDA) and ignore the
MP3/WMA les on the DVD deck. On the CD deck,
pressing the CAT button will toggle between
compressed and uncompressed audio format, the
default being the uncompressed format (.CDA).
MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
Make sure the MP3 les are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3 les on
one disc.
The CD player (lower slot) is able to read and
play a maximum combination of 512 les and
folders. The DVD player (upper slot) is
able to read 255 folders, 15 playlists and
40 sessions.
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.
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to
8 subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to
reduce the complexity and confusion in trying to
locate a particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a.m3u,.wpl or.pls
extension (other le extensions may not work).
Minimize the length of the le, folder or playlist
names. Long le, folder, or playlist names, or a
combination of a large number of les and
folders, or playlists may cause the player to be
unable to play up to the maximum number of
les, folders, playlists, or sessions. If you wish
to play a large number of les, folders, playlists,
or sessions, minimize the length of the le,
folder or playlist name. Long names also take
up more space on the display, potentially
getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc may
cause the disc not to function in the player.
305

Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated as a
folder. If the root directory has compressed audio
les, the directory will be displayed as F1
ROOT. All les contained directly under the root
directory will be accessed prior to any root
directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will
always be 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 will advance to the
next folder in the le structure that contains
compressed audio les and the empty folder will
not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD-R contains only compressed les,
the les will be located under the root folder.
The next and previous folder functions will not be
displayed on a CD-R that was recorded without
folders or playlists. When displaying the name of
the folder the radio will display ROOT.When the CD-R contains only playlists and
compressed audio les, but no folders, all les will
be located under the root folder. The folder
down and the folder up buttons will search playlists
(Px) rst and then go to the root folder. When
the radio displays the name of the folder the radio
will display ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R will be played in the
following order:
Play will begin from the rst track in the rst
playlist and will continue sequentially through
all tracks in each playlist. When the last track of
the last playlist has been played, play will
continue from the rst track of the rst playlist.
Play will begin from the rst track in the rst
folder and will continue sequentially through all
tracks in each folder. When the last track of the
last folder has been played, play will continue
from the rst track of the rst folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display will not
automatically show the new folder name unless
you have chosen the folder mode as the
default display. The new track name will appear
on the display.
306

File System and Naming
The song name that will be displayed will be the
song name that is contained in the ID3 tag.
If the song name is not present in the ID3 tag,
then the radio will display the le name without the
extension (such as .mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or
four pages will be shortened. The display will not
show parts of words on the last page of text
and the extension of the lename will not be
displayed.
Preprogrammed Playlists
You can access preprogrammed playlists that
were created using WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or
Real Jukebox™ software, however, you will
not have playlist editing capability using the radio.
These playlists will be treated as special folders
containing compressed audio song les.
Playing an MP3 (In Either the DVD
or CD Slot)
Insert a CD-R partway into either the top or
bottom slot, label side up. The player will pull it in,
and the CD-R should begin playing.
Depending on the format of the disc, a softkey
menu will appear and allow navigation of the disc.
The menu will read left to right as RDM
(Randomize song play order), a Folder icon with
left and right arrows (to move up or down
through available folders), a PL tag if the disc has
a Playlist available, and a Music Navigator tag.
If a Playlist tag is shown, toggling this key brings
up a Folder softkey only or the menu as
previously described.
If you turn off the ignition or radio with a CD-R in
the player it will stay in the player. When you
turn on the ignition or radio, the CD-R will start to
play where it stopped, if it was the last selected
audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number
and song title will appear on the display.
