Playing an MP3 CD-R Disc
Radios with the MP3 feature are capable of playing
an MP3 CD-R disc. For more information on how to play
an MP3 CD-R disc, seeUsing an MP3 on page 3-111
later in this section.
Care of CDs
The sound quality of the CD player can be reduced
because of:
The CD-R quality.
The method of recording the CD-R.
The quality of the music that has been recorded on
the CD-R.
The way the CD-R has been handled.
Store CDs in their original cases or other protective
cases and away from dust and direct sunlight. The CD
player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface
of a CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or
scratched, the CD may not play properly or at all. Do not
touch the bottom side of a CD while handling it; this could
damage the surface. Pick up CDs by grasping the outer
edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.To clean a CD, use a soft lint free cloth, or dampen a
clean soft cloth in a mild neutral detergent solution
mixed with water. Wipe the CD from the center to
the edge.
Care of the CD Player
Use a marking pen to identify CDs, do not add labels.
Do not use CD lens cleaners, they could damage the CD
player.
Notice:If a label is added to a CD, or more than
one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an
attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs,
the CD player could be damaged. While using the
CD player, use only CDs in good condition without
any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the
CD player and the loading slot free of foreign
materials, liquids, and debris.
If an error displays, see “CD Messages” later in this
