Playing a CD
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player will pull it in
and the CD should begin playing. If you want to insert a CD with the ignition off,
first press the eject button or the DISP knob.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the player it will stay
in the player. When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD will start to play
where it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
When the CD is inserted, READING and the CD symbol will appear on display. As
each new track starts to play, the track number will appear on the display.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm) single CDs with an adapter
ring. Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced due to CD-R quality, the
method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way
the CD-R has been handled. There may be an increase in skipping, difficulty in finding
tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur try a known
good CD.
Do not add paper labels to CDs, they could get caught in the CD player.
If an error appears on the display, see "CD Messages" later in this
section.

To scan tracks, press either arrow for more than two seconds
until you hear one beep and SCAN appears on the display. The CD will search the previous
or next tracks at two seconds per track. Press either arrow to stop scanning.
DISP (Display): Press this button to see how long the current

Using an MP3 CD
MP3 Format
This MP3 player will accept MP3 files that were recorded on an up to 700 MB
CD-R CD. The files can be recorded with the following fixed bit rates: 32 kpbs, 40
kpbs, 56 kpbs, 64 kpbs, 80 kpbs, 96 kpbs, 112 kpbs, 128 kpbs, 160 kpbs, 192 kpbs,
224 kpbs, 256 kpbs, and 320 kpbs or a variable bit rate. Song title, artist name,
and album will be available when recorded using ID3 tags version 1.
The player will be able to read and play a maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists,
10 sessions, and 255 files. Long file, folder, or playlist names or a combination
of a large number of files and folders or playlists may cause the player to be unable
to play up to the maximum number of files, folders, playlists, or sessions. If you
wish to play large numbers of files, folders, playlists or sessions minimize the length
of the file, folder or playlist name. You can also play an MP3 CD that was recorded
using no file folders. The system can support up to 11 folders in depth, though, keep
the depth of the folders to a minimum in order to keep down the complexity and confusion
in trying to locate a particular folder during playback. If a CD contains more than
the maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 files the player will
let you access and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over the maximum will
be ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed
audio files, the directory will be displayed as F1 ROOT. All files contained directly
under the root directory will be accessed prior to any root directory folders. However,
playlists (Px) will 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 will advance 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 will be located under
the root folder. The next and previous folder functions will have no function on a
CD that was recorded without folders or playlists. When displaying the name of the
folder the radio will display ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists and compressed audio files, but no folders,
all files will be located under the root folder. The folder down and the folder up
buttons will search playlists (Px) first and then go to the root folder. When the
radio displays the name of the folder the radio will display ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks will be played in the following order:
• | Play will begin from the first track in the first playlist and will continue
sequentially through all tracks in each playlist. When the last track of the last
playlist has been played, play will continue from the first track of the first playlist. |
• | If the CD does not contain any playlists, then play will begin from the
first track under the root directory. When all tracks from the root directory have
been played, play will continue from files according to their numerical listing. After
playing the last track from the last folder, play will begin again at the first track
of the first folder or root directory. |
When play enters a new folder, the display will not automatically show the new
folder name unless you have chosen the folder mode as the default display. See DISP
later in this section for more information. The new track name will appear on the
display.
File System and Naming
The song name that will be displayed will be the song name that is contained
in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio will
display the file name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages will be shortened. The display
will not show parts of words on the last page of text and the extension of the file
name will not be displayed.
Preprogrammed Playlists
You can access preprogrammed playlists which were created by WinAmpâ„¢,
MusicMatchâ„¢, or Real Jukeboxâ„¢ software, however, you will not have editing
capability. These playlists will be treated as special folders containing compressed
audio song files.
Playing an MP3
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player will pull it in,
and READING will appear on the display. The CD should begin playing and the CD symbol
will appear on the display. If you want to insert a CD with the ignition off, first
press the eject button or the DISP knob.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the player it will stay
in the player. When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD will start to play
