MP3 CD PLAYER
INTRODUCTION
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 “MP3 CD 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
recorded using the MP3 compression format. The radio
functions as described in the “CD Player” chapter when
an ordinary audio CD is inserted.
The use of good quality media burned at the slowest
possible speeds is recommended for optimum quality.
The files on an MP3 CD are structured in folders that
create lists of all the folders containing MP3 tracks
(folders or subfolders are all displayed on the same
level); the folders that do not contain MP3 tracks cannot
be selected.The specifications and operating conditions for playing
MP3 files are the following:
❒the CD-ROMs used should be mastered in
accordance with the ISO 9660 standard;
❒the music files should have the extension “.mp3”: files
with a different extension will not be reproduced;
❒The sampling frequencies that can be reproduced are:
44.1 kHz, stereo (from 96 to 320 kbit/s) – 22.05 kHz,
mono or stereo (from 32 to 80 kbit/s);
❒tracks with a variable bit-rate can be reproduced.
IMPORTANT The track names must not include the
following characters: spaces, ‘ (apostrophes), ( and )
(open and close brackets). During the mastering of a
MP3 CD, make sure that the names of the files do not
contain these characters; if not, the radio will not be able
to play the tracks involved.
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.

RADIO
IMPORTANT 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, folder name and file name, the radio is also
capable of displaying ID3-TAG information relating to
Title track, 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.SELECTION OF NEXT/PREVIOUS FOLDER
Press the button ▲to select the next folder or the
button ▼to select the previous folder. The display will
show the number and the name of the folder (e.g. “DIR
2 XXXXXX”).
XXXXXX: name of the folder (the display will only show
the first 8 characters).
The folders are selected cyclically: the first folder is
selected after the last folder and vice versa.
If no other folder/track is selected during the next
2 seconds, the first track contained in the new folder
will be played.
If the last track in the folder at that moment selected is
played, the next folder will be played.
STRUCTURE OF THE FOLDERS
The radio with MP3 player:
❒recognises only the folders that contain MP3 format
files;
❒if the MP3 files on a CD-ROM are structured in “sub-
folders”, their structure is compressed to a single
level structure, where the “sub-folders” are taken to
the level of the main folders.
