.It is recommended that there is a maximum of
192 files on a disc.
.The files can be recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW
with a maximum capacity of 700MB.
.DVD with MP3 are not playable on this system.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio files, the directory will
be displayed as No Folder or ALL.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the
file structure that contains only folders/subfolders and
no compressed files directly beneath them, the player
will advance to the next folder in the file structure that
contains compressed audio files and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD contains only compressed files, the files
will be located under the root folder. The next and
previous folder functions will have no function on a CD
that was recorded without folders or playlists. When
displaying the name of the folder the radio will display
No Folder.
Order of Play
Play will begin from the first track under the root
directory. When all tracks from the root directory have
been played, play will continue from files according to
their numerical listing. After playing the last track from
the last folder, play will begin again at the first track of
the first folder or root directory.
When play enters a new folder, the display will not
automatically show the new folder name. The new track
name will appear on the display.
File System and Naming
The song name that will display will be the song name
that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the radio will display the
file name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages
will be shortened. The display will not show parts of
words on the last page of text and the extension of the
filename will not display.

Care of Your CDs and DVDs
If playing recorded media such as a CD or DVD, the
sound quality may be reduced due to CD or DVD
quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music
that has been recorded, recording speed, max media
recording speed, and the way the CD or DVD has been
handled. There may be an increase in skipping,
difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and
ejecting. If these problems occur, check the bottom
surface of the CD or DVD. If the surface is damaged,
such as cracked, broken, or scratched, it will not play
properly. If the surface is soiled, see“Care of Your
CDs and DVDs” in the Index of the vehicle's owner
manual.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD
or DVD. Notice:
If a label is added to a CD or DVD, or more
than one CD or DVD is inserted into the slot at a
time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or
damaged CDs or DVDs, the player could be
damaged. While using the CD or DVD player, use
only CDs or DVDs in good condition without any
label, load one CD or DVD at a time, and keep the
player and the loading slot free of foreign materials,
liquids, and debris.
Do not add any label to a CD or DVD, it could get
caught in the player. If a CD or DVD is recorded on a
personal computer and a description label is needed,
try labeling the top of the recorded CD or DVD with a
soft marker.
