MP3 Format
Burning an MP3 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.
Make sure the CD does not have more than a
maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les.
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 extension as other
le extensions might 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 can cause the player to be unable to play
up to the maximum number of les, folders, playlists,
or sessions. 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 burning it. Trying to
add music to an existing disc may cause the disc not
to function in the player.
Playlists can be changed by using the previous and next
folder buttons, the
f(tune) knob, or the©SEEK¨
arrows. An MP3 CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded
using no le folders can be played. If a CD-R or CD-RW
contains more than the maximum of 50 folders,
50 playlists, and 255 les, the player can access
and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum are not accessible.

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 is displayed as the CD label. All les
contained directly under the root directory are accessed
prior to any root directory folders. However, playlists (Px)
are always be accessed before root folders or les.
If a disc contains both uncompressed CD audio (.CDA)
and MP3 les, 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 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 contains only compressed les, the les
are located under the root folder. The
Sc(previous)
and next
cTfolder functions do not display on a
CD that was recorded without folders or playlists.
When the CD 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 go to the root folder.
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
