Media mode Introduction
“Media sources” are audio sources containing audio files on various differ-
ent data media (e.g. CD, external MP3 player). These audio files can be
played by the respective data media or by the radio input sockets.
Additional information and warnings:
● Safety notes  ⇒ page 4
● Unit overview ⇒ page 6
● Basic information on use ⇒ page 8 
Requirements for media sources and audio files
Factory-fitted CD players conform to safety class 1 according to
DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837.
The unit only accepts 12-cm standard CDs.
Media sourceRequirements for playing in the unit Audio CDs (up to 80 min).– CD Digital Audio specification . CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW up
to max. 700 MB (megabyte)
according to ISO 9660 or on
the Joliet data system.MP3 files (.mp3) with bitrates of between
48 and 320 kbit/s or with variable bitrates
– Playlists in formats PLS and M3U
– Playlists no larger than 20 KB and con-
taining no more than 250 links.

AUX: External audio source.– A 3.5 mm jack plug can be used for audio
output ⇒ page 25.
Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high temperatures and mechanical damage can
render a data medium unusable. Observe the manufacturer's instructions
on the data medium.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers
may lead to problems during playback.
Please observe copyright laws.
CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format cannot be played. Under Windows
Vista ®
ensure that the correct format is selected.
The unit may be unable to read individual tracks or the entire data medium
due to the data medium configuration or the devices and programs used for
recording. Compatibility with all encoding/recording software, recording de-
vices and recording media cannot be guaranteed. Information can be found
on the internet regarding the best ways to create audio files and data media
(compression rate, ID3 tag etc.). 

20Audio mode
Due to the larger quantity of data, the unit takes longer to read a data medi-
um containing compressed audio files (MP3) than a “normal” audio CD.
Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data medi-
um.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in
a playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not stored on the
data medium at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths). 
Playing order of files and folders
Fig. 15 Example of an
MP3 CD structure.
Audio files  on data media are often sorted by folders  and playlists  to
determine a certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medium are sorted by name in alpha-
betic or numeric order. Subfolders are treated like folders and numbered in accordance with the se-
quence on the CD.
The illustration ⇒ Fig. 15 shows a typical MP3 CD that contains tracks
,
folders  and subfolders.
Accordingly, the tracks and folders on this CD are played and displayed in
the following order: Tracks 1
and 2 in the root directory
(ROOT) of the CD
Tracks 3 and 4 in the first folder F1 in the root directory of the CD
(display:  01).
Track 5
in the first subfolder F1.1 of the folder
F1 (display:  02).
Track 6 in the first subfolder F1.1.1 of the subfolder
F1.1 (display:
 03).
Track 7
in the second subfolder F1.2 of the folder
F1 (display:  04).
Tracks 8 and 9 in the second folder F2 (display:
 05).
With regard to the playing order, playlists  are treated like folders.
Note
The playing order will change when modifying the play mode ( MIX)
