SELECTING MP3 SESSIONS ON HYBRID
DISCS
If a hybrid disc is inserted (Mixed Mode,
Enhanced, CD-Extra) also containing MP3 files,
the radio automatically starts playing the audio
session. It is possible to move to the MP3 session
whilst playing by keeping the MEDIA button
pressed for more than 2 seconds.Note
When the function is activated the radio may take
a few seconds to start playing. Whilst checking the
disc the display will show "CD Reading". If no
MP3 files are detected, the radio will resume
playing the audio session from the point where it
was interrupted.
DISPLAY INFORMATION
ID3-TAG information display
In addition to the information relating to the time
elapsed, the name of the folder and the name of
the file, the radio is also capable of display ID3-
TAG information relating to the Track Title, Artist
and Author.
The name of the MP3 folder shown on the display
corresponds to the name with which the folder was
stored on the CD, followed by an asterisk.
Example of a complete MP3 folder name: BEST
OF *.
When ID3-TAG data is chosen to be displayed
(Title, Artist, Album) that has not been recorded
for the track played, the information will be
replaced by that relating to the name of the file.
