LOADING/EJECTING A CDTo load the CD, insert it gently into the slot to activate the motorised
loading system, which will position it correctly.
The CD can be loaded with radio off and the ignition key turned to
MAR: in this case the radio will remain off. When the radio is
turned on, the last source listened to prior to switching off will be
activated.
When a CD is inserted the display will show the symbol “CD-IN”
and the text “CD Reading”. They will remain displayed for the
entire time required for the radio to read the CD tracks. When this
time has elapsed the radio will automatically start to play the first
track.
Press the
button with the radio on to activate the motorised
ejection of the CD. After ejection, the last audio source listened to
before playing the CD will be heard.
If the CD is not removed from the radio, it will automatically be
reloaded about 20 seconds later and the Tuner mode will be
activated (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the radio is off.
If the ejected CD is reloaded without having removed it completely
from the slot, the radio will not switch to the CD source.Possible error messages
If the CD loaded cannot be read (e.g. a CD ROM has been
inserted or the CD is inserted upside down or there is reading
error) the display will show the text “CD Disc error”.
The CD will then be ejected and the audio source activated prior to
the CD mode selection will be heard.
With an external audio source activated (“TA”, “ALARM” or
“Phone”), the CD that cannot be read will not be ejected until these
functions have ended. At the end, with the CD mode activated, the
display will show the text “CD Disc error” for a few seconds and
then the CD will be ejected.

MP3 CD PLAYERINTRODUCTIONThis section 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 the “Radio” and “CD MP3
Player” sections.
NOTE MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology licensed from
Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson multimedia.MP3 MODEIn 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” section 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/s) - 22.05 kHz, mono or stereo (32 to 80
kbit/s);
❒tracks with a variable bit-rate can be reproduced.
NoteThe names of tracks must not contain the following
characters: spaces, ' (apostrophes), ( and ) (open and close
brackets). When burning an 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.
267SOUND-SYSTEM

SELECTING MP3 SESSIONS ON HYBRID
DISCSIf 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.
NoteWhen 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 INFORMATIONID3-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

SELECTING NEXT/PREVIOUS FOLDERPress the
button to select one of the next folders or press the
button to select a 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 in the next 2 seconds, the first
track on 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 FOLDERSThe 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.

AUX (only with theBlue&Me™
system)(for versions/markets, where provided)INTRODUCTIONThis 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” section.
AUX MODETo 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

Do not leave the cable of your portable player connected to 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.
