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
folder mode has been 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
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 displays.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created using
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™ software
can be accessed, however, they cannot be edited
using the radio. These playlists are treated as special
folders containing compressed audio song les.
Playing an MP3/WMA (In Either the DVD or
CD Slot)
Insert a CD-R or CD-RW partway into either the top or
bottom slot, label side up. The player pulls it in, and
the CD-R or CD-RW should begin playing.
Depending on the format of the disc, a softkey menu
appears and allows navigation of the disc. The
menu reads 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 the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD-R or CD-RW
in the player it stays in the player. When the ignition or
radio is turned back on, 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 displays.

Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks, located on the rear of the oor console,
allow audio or video signals to be connected from
an auxiliary device such as a camcorder or a video
game unit to the RSE system. Adapter connectors
or cables (not included) might be required to connect
the auxiliary device to the A/V jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical home
entertainment system equipment. The yellow jack (A) is
for the video input. The white jack (B) is for the left
audio input. The red jack (C) is for the right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the
radio system.To use the auxiliary inputs of the RSE system, connect
an external auxiliary device to the color-coded A/V
jacks and turn both the auxiliary device and the video
screen power on. If the video screen is in the DVD
player mode, pressing the AUX (auxiliary) button on the
remote control switches the video screen from the
DVD player mode to the auxiliary device. The radio can
listen to the audio of the connected auxiliary device
by sourcing to auxiliary. SeeRadio(s) on page 3-85for
