CD MP3 PLAYERINTRODUCTION
This chapter only describes the variants regarding the
operation of the CD MP3 player: as far as the
operation of the radio is concerned, refer to the
description in chapters "Radio" and "CD MP3 Player".
NOTE MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology
licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson
multimedia.
MP3 MODE
In addition to playing regular audio CDs, the radio is
also able to play CD-ROMs on which audio files have
been stored using the MP3 compression format. The
radio operates as described in the "CD Player"
chapter when an ordinary audio CD is inserted.
To guarantee optimal playback quality it is advisable
to use good quality CDs mastered at the lowest
speed possible.
The files on an MP3 CD are structured by folder,
creating lists of all the folders containing MP3 tracks
(folders and subfolders are all displayed on the same
level); the folders that do not contain MP3 tracks
cannot be selected.
The operating conditions and specifications for
playing MP3 files are as follows:
❒the CD-ROMs used should be burnt according to
the ISO 9660 standard;❒the music files must have an ".mp3" extension: files
with a different extension cannot be played;
❒the following sampling frequencies can be played:
44.1 kHz, stereo (96 to 320 kbit) - 22.05 kHz,
mono or stereo (32 to 80 kbit);
❒tracks with a variable bit-rate can be reproduced.
Note
The names of tracks must not contain the following
characters: spaces, ' (apostrophes), ( and ) (open and
close brackets). During the burning of a MP3 CD,
make sure that the names of the files do not contain
these characters; if they do, the radio will not be able
to play the tracks involved.

SOUND-SYSTEM

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 switch to the MP3 session whilst playing
by holding the MEDIA button down 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 displaying 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.

SOUND-SYSTEM

AUX (only with the Blue&Me™
system)(for versions/markets, where provided)
INTRODUCTION
This section describes the variants regarding the
operation of the AUX source: as far as the operation
of the radio is concerned, refer to the description in
the "Functions and Adjustments" chapter.
AUX MODE
To activate the AUX source, press the MEDIA
button or the SRC control on the steering wheel
several times until the corresponding source is
displayed.IMPORTANT
The functions of the device connected to the AUX
socket are directly managed by the device itself; it is
not possible to change track/folder/playlist with radio
or steering wheel controls.
Do not leave the cable of your portable player
connected with the AUX socket after disconnection,
to avoid possible hiss from the speakers.
NOTE The AUX socket is not incorporated in the
radio. For its position, refer to theBlue&Me™
Supplement and its Quick Guide.
