Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is treated as
a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio
les, the directory displays 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-R or CD-RW contains only compressed
les, the les are located under the root folder. The next
and previous folder functions are not displayed on a
CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded without folders or
playlists. When displaying the name of the folder
the radio displays ROOT.
When the CD-R or CD-RW 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 search 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 recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW 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.
Play begins from the rst track in the rst folder and
continues sequentially through all tracks in each
folder. When the last track of the last folder has
played, play continues from the rst track of the
rst 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 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 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.

disc to sort the les by artist and album ID3 tag
information. It can take several minutes to scan the disc
depending on the number of MP3 les recorded tothe CD-R or CD-RW. The radio can begin playing while
it is scanning the disc in the background. When the
scan is nished, the CD-R or CD-RW begins playing
again.
Once the disc has been scanned, the player defaults to
playing MP3 les in order by artist. The current artist
playing is shown on the second line of the display
between the arrows. Once all songs by that artist are
played, the player moves to the next artist in
alphabetical order on the CD-R/CD-RW and begins

previous artist in alphabetical order. Continue pressing
either button until the desired artist displays.

below the album button. Press the pushbutton below the
back label to return to the main music navigator
screen. The album name displays on the second line
between the arrows and songs from the current
album and begins to play. Once all songs from that
album are played, the player moves to the next album
in alphabetical order on the CD-R or CD-RW and begins
playing MP3 les from that album.
To exit music navigator mode, press the pushbutton
below the Back label to return to normal MP3 playback.
