File System and Naming
The song name that displays 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. The display does not
show parts of words on the last
page of text and the extension of
the filename is not displayed.
Preprogrammed Playlists
CDs that have preprogrammed
playlists that were created using
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or
Real Jukebox™software can be
accessed, however, there is no
playlist editing capability using
the radio. These playlists are
treated as special folders containing
compressed audio song files. Playlists that have an .m3u or .pls
file extension and are stored on a
USB device may be supported by
the radio with a USB port.
Playlists can be changed by
using the softkeys below
the
S
candc Ttabs,
the
fknob, the©SEEK button or
the

or CD-RW that has been recorded
without using file folders can be
played. If a CD-R or CD-RW
contains more than the maximum
of 50 folders, 15 playlists, and

allows access and navigates up to
the maximum, but all items over the
maximum are not accessible.

contact your dealer. If the radio
displays an error message, write it
down and provide it to your dealer
when reporting the problem.
CD/DVD Player
Care of the CD and DVD Player
Do not add any label to a disc.
It could get caught in the CD or
DVD player. If a disc is recorded
on a personal computer and a
description label is needed, try
labeling the top of the recorded
disc with a marking pen. The use of CD/DVD lens cleaners
is not advised, due to the risk of
contaminating the lens of the optics
with lubricants internal to the CD
and DVD player mechanism.
Notice:
If a label is added to a
CD, 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.Care of CDs and DVDs
If playing a CD-R or CD-RW, the
sound quality can be reduced due to
CD-R or CD-RW quality, the method
of recording, the quality of the music
that has been recorded, and the
way the CD-R or CD-RW has been
handled. Handle them carefully.
