makes it easy to find songs
while driving. Each folder or

or less.
.It is recommended that there is a
maximum of 1024 files on a disc.
.The files can be recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW with a
maximum capacity of 700 MB.
Root Directory
The root directory is treated as a
folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio files, the
directory displays as DISC. All files
contained directly under the root
directory are accessed prior to any root directory folders. However,
playlists can always be 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 and the empty folder will not be
displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files are
located under the root folder. The
next and previous folder functions
have no function on a CD that was
recorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the
folder the radio displays Disc.
When the CD contains only playlists
and compressed audio files, but no
folders, all files are located under
the root folder. The left and right

arrow buttons search playlists (Px)
first and then goes to the root folder.
When the radio displays the name
of the folder the radio
displays DISC.
Order of Play
Tracks 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 been
played, play continues from the
first track of the first playlist.
.If the CD does not contain any
playlists, then play begins from
the first track under the root
directory. When all tracks from
the root directory have been
played, play continues from files
according to their numerical
listing. After playing the last
track from the last folder, play
begins again at the first track of
the first folder or root directory.When play enters a new folder, the
display automatically shows the new
folder name. The new track name
displays.
File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the
song name contained in the file.
If the song name is not present in
the file, then the radio displays the
file name with the extension (such
as .mp3) as the track name.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists which
were created by WinAmp™,
MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed, however,
there is not editing capability. These
playlists are treated as special
folders containing compressed
audio song files.
Playing an MP3
With the ignition on, insert a MP3
CD partway into the slot, label side
up. The player pulls it in and the
MP3 should begin playing. While
playing a MP3, the navigation system is available. If a MP3 is
inserted with the system off and the
ignition on, it starts to play.
When a MP3 CD is inserted, the
MP3 tab activates.
If the ignition or radio is turned off
with a MP3 CD in the player, it stays
in the player. When the ignition or
radio is turned on, the MP3 CD
starts playing where it stopped, if it
