CD Messages
CHECK DISC:If this message
displays and/or the CD comes out, it
could be:
.It is very hot. When the
temperature returns to normal,
the CD should play.
.The road is very rough. When
the road becomes smoother, the
CD should play.
.The CD is dirty, scratched, wet,
or upside down.
.The air is very humid. If so, wait
about an hour and try again.

good CD. If any error occurs repeatedly or if
an error cannot be corrected,
contact your dealer/retailer. If the
radio displays an error message,
write it down and provide it to your
dealer/retailer when reporting the
problem.
MP3
MP3 CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3 files that were
recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
The files can be recorded with the
following fixed 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 files) and MP3 files. By
default the radio reads only the
uncompressed audio and ignores
the MP3 files. Pressing the CAT
(category) button toggles between
compressed and uncompressed
audio format.
MP3 Supported File and Folder
Structure
To burn an MP3 disc on a personal
computer:
.Make sure the MP3 files are
recorded on a CD-R or
CD-RW disc.
.Do not mix standard audio and
MP3 files on one disc.
.The CD player is able to read
and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, and
255 files.
ProCarManuals.com

7-14 Infotainment System
.Create a folder structure that
makes it easy to find 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.
.Make sure playlists have a .m3u
or .wpl extension, other file
extensions may not work.
.Minimize the length of the file,
folder or playlist names. Long
file, folder, or playlist names,
or a combination of a large
number of files and folders,
or playlists can cause the player
to be unable to play up to themaximum number of files,
folders, playlists, or sessions. To
play a large number of files,
folders, playlists or sessions,
minimize the length of the file,
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 file
folders can also be played. If a
CD-R or CD-RW contains more
than the maximum of 50 folders,
50 playlists, and 255 files, 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 files, the directory displays
as F1 ROOT. All files contained
directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory
folders. However, playlists (Px) are
always accessed before root folders
or files.
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 advances
to the next folder in the file structure
that contains compressed audio
files. The empty folder does not
display.

Infotainment System 7-15
No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files 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 files, but no
folders, all files are located under
the root folder. The folder down and
up buttons searches playlists (Px)
first and then go to the root folder.
When the radio displays the name
of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or
CD-RW are played in the following
order:
.Play begins from the first track in
the first playlist and continues
sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last
track of the last playlist has
played, play continues from the
first track of the first playlist.
.Play begins from the first track in
the first folder and continues
sequentially through all tracks in
each folder. When the last track
of the last folder has been
played, play continues from the
first track of the first folder.
When play enters a new folder, the
display does not automatically show
the new folder name unless the
folder mode is 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 file 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 filename does not display.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that
were created by 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 files.
