3 inch (8 cm) single CDs with an
adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the
smaller CDs are loaded in the
same manner.Care of CDs
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality
can be reduced due to CD-R quality,
the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been recorded,
and the way the CD-R has been
handled. Handle them carefully.
Store CD-R(s) in their original cases
or other protective cases and away
from direct sunlight and dust. 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 does not play
properly or not 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.
If the surface of a CD is soiled, take
a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral
detergent solution mixed with water,
and clean it. Make sure the wiping
process starts from the center to
the edge.Care of the CD Player
Do not add any label to a CD, it
could get caught in the CD player. If
a CD is recorded on a personal
computer and a description label is
needed, try labeling the top of
the recorded CD with a marking pen.
To prevent contaminating the lens
of the disc optics with lubricants
internal to the player mechanism the
use of disc lens cleaners is not
advised.
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 section.

MP3 CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3 les that were
recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
The les can be recorded with the
following xed bit rates: 32 kbps,
40 kbps, 56 kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps,
96 kbps, 112 kbps, 128 kbps,
160 kbps, 192 kbps, 224 kbps,
256 kbps, and 320 kbps or a variable
bit rate. Song title, artist name, and
album are available for display by the
radio when recorded using ID3 tags
version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that
contain both uncompressed
CD audio (.CDA les) and MP3
les. By default the radio reads only
the uncompressed audio and
ignore the MP3 les. Pressing the
CAT (category) button toggles
between compressed and
uncompressed audio format.MP3 Format
To burn 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.
The CD player is able to read
and play 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 eight 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.
3-66 Instrument Panel
ProCarManuals.com

Make sure playlists have a .mp3
or .wpl extension, other le
extensions may 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 can cause the
disc not to function in the player.
Playlists can be changed by using
the previous and next folder buttons,
the tune knob, or the SEEK arrows.
An MP3 CD-R or CD-RW that was
recorded using no le folders canalso 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 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 contains only
compressed les, the les are
located under the root folder. The
next and previous folder functions do
not display on a CD that was
recorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the
folder the radio displays ROOT.
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 up buttons searches playlists
(Px) rst and then go to the
root folder. When the radio displays
the name of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.
