You can change playlists by using the pre-
vious and next folder buttons, the tuner
knob, or the seek buttons. You can also
play an MP3 CD-R that was recorded
using no file folders. If a CD-R contains
more than the maximum of 50 folders, 15
playlists, and 512 folders and files, the
player lets you access and navigate up to
the maximum, but all items over the maxi-
mum are not accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated
as a folder. If the root directory has com-
pressed audio files, the directory is dis-
played as the CD label. All files contained
directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory fold-
ers. However, playlists (Px) are always
accessed before root folders or files.
If a disc contains both uncompressed CD
audio (.CDA) and MP3 files, a folder under
the root directory called CD access all of
the CD audio tracks on the disc.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists some-
where 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 struc-
ture that contains compressed audio files.
The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When the CD-R contains only compressed
files, the files are located under the rootfolder. The next and previous folder func-
tions do not display on a CD-R that was
recorded without folders or playlists.
When the CD-R contains only playlists and
compressed audio files, but no folders, all
files are located under the root folder. The
folder down and the folder up buttons
searches playlists (Px) first and then goes
to the root folder.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R are played in
the following order:
Play begins from the first track in the first
playlist and continues sequentially
through all tracks in each playlist. When
the last track of the last playlist has been
played, play continues from the first track
of the first playlist.
Play begins from the first track in the first
folder and continues sequentially
through all tracks in each folder. When
the last track of the last folder has
played, play continues from the first track
of the first folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display
does not automatically show the new folder
name unless you have chosen the folder
mode as the default display. The new track
name appears on the display.
File System and Naming
The song name that displays 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 file name with-
out the extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or
four pages are shortened. The display
does not show parts of words on the last
page of text and the extension of the file-
name is not displayed.
Preprogrammed Playlists
You can access preprogrammed playlists
that were created using WinAmp
TM, Music-
Match
TM, or Real Jukebox

however, you do not have playlist editing
capability using the radio. These playlists
are treated as special folders containing
compressed audio song files.
Playing an MP3
Insert a CD-R partway into the slot label
side up. The player pulls it in, and the CD-
R should begin playing.
If you turn off the ignition or radio with a

When you turn on the ignition or radio, 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 and song title appears on the dis-
play.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch
(8 cm) single CD-Rs with an adapter ring.
Full-size CD-Rs and the smaller CD-Rs
are loaded in the same manner.

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.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated
as a folder. If the root directory has com-
pressed audio files, the directory is dis-
played as F1 ROOT. All files contained
directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory fold-
ers. However, playlists (Px) are always
accessed before root folders or files.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists some-
where 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 struc-
ture that contains compressed audio files.
The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When the CD-R contains only compressed
files, the files are located under the root
folder. The next and previous folder func-
tion does not function on a CD-R that was
recorded without folders or playlists. When
displaying the name of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.
When the CD-R contains only playlists and
compressed audio files, but no folders, allfiles are located under the root folder. The
folder down and the folder up buttons
search playlists (Px) first and then goes to
the root folder. When the radio displays the
name of the folder the radio displays
ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R are played in
the following order:

played, play continues from the first track
of the first folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display
does not automatically show the new folder
name unless the folder mode was chosen
as the default display. 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 file 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 filename displays.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created

arrows (to move up or down through avail-
able 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.

78J00-03E
For battery replacement, see your dealer
or the service manual.
Vehicle Storage
If you are not going to drive your vehicle
for 25 days or more, remove the black,
negative (–) cable from the battery. This
will help keep your battery from running
down.
You must close all doors and the liftgate
before reconnecting the battery. After
reconnecting the battery, you must press
the unlock button on the key transmitter.
Failure to follow this procedure may result
in sounding an alarm. Pressing unlock on
the key transmitter would stop the alarm.
Jump StartingIf your vehicle’s battery has run down, you
may want to use another vehicle and some
jumper cables to start your vehicle. Be
sure to use the following steps to do it
safely.
1) Check the other vehicle. It must have a
12-volt battery with a negative ground
system.2) Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure
the vehicles are not touching each
other. If they are, it could cause a
ground connection you do not want.
You would not be able to start your
vehicle, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles
rolling, set the parking brake firmly on
both vehicles involved in the jump start
procedure. Put an automatic transaxle
in PARK (P) or a manual transaxle in
NEUTRAL before setting the parking
brake.
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer
and reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
WARNING
Batteries have acid that can burn you
and gas that can explode. You can be
badly hurt if you are not careful.
Refer to “Jump Starting” in this sec-
tion for tips on working around a bat-
tery without getting hurt.
WARNING
Batteries can hurt you. They can be
dangerous because:
They contain acid that can burn
you.
They contain gas that can explode
or ignite.
They contain enough electricity to
burn you.
If you do not follow these steps
exactly, some or all of these things
can hurt you.
CAUTION
Ignoring these steps could result in
costly damage to your vehicle that
would not be covered by your war-
ranty.
Trying to start your vehicle by push-
ing or pulling it will not work, and it
could damage your vehicle.
CAUTION
If the other vehicle’s system is not a
12-volt system with a negative
ground, both vehicles can be dam-
aged. Only use vehicles with 12-volt
systems with negative grounds to
jump start your vehicle.
CAUTION
If you leave your radio or other
accessories on during the jump start-
ing procedure, they could be dam-
aged. The repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Always
turn off your radio and other acces-
sories when jump starting your vehi-
cle.
