MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
Make sure the MP3/WMA les are recorded
on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA
les on one disc.
The CD player is able to read and play a
maximum of 50 folders, 15 playlists, and
a combined total of 512 folders and les.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to
nd songs while driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each album.
Each folder or album should contain 18 songs
or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up
to eight subfolders deep, however, keep the
total number of folders to a minimum in
order to reduce the complexity and confusion
in trying to locate a particular folder during
playback.
Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl
extension (other le extensions might
not work).
Minimize the length of the le, folder, or
playlist names. Long le, folder, or playlist
names, or a combination of a large number of
les and folders, or playlists can cause the
player to be unable to play up to the maximum
number of les, folders, playlists, or sessions.
If you wish to play a large number of les,
folders, playlists or sessions, minimize
the length of the le, folder, or playlist name.
Long names also take up more space on
the display, potentially getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc
might cause the disc not to function in
the player.
Playlists can be changed by using the previous
and next folder buttons, the tuner knob, or
the seek buttons. An MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW
that was recorded can also be played using no
le folders. If a CD-R or CD-RW contains
more than the maximum of 50 folders, 15 playlists,
and a combined total of 512 folders and les,
the player lets you access and navigate up to the
maximum, but all items over the maximum are
not accessible.

Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is
treated as a folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio les, the directory is displayed
as the CD label. All les contained directly
under the root directory are accessed prior to any
root directory folders. However, playlists (Px)
are always accessed before root folders or les.
If a disc contains both uncompressed CD
audio (.CDA) and MP3/WMA les, a folder under
the root directory called CD accesses all of
the CD audio tracks on the disc.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere
in the le structure that contains only folders/
subfolders and no compressed les directly
beneath them, the player advances to the next
folder in the le structure that contains compressed
audio les. The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When the CD-R or CD-RW contains only
compressed les, the les are located under the
root folder. The next and previous folder function
does not display on a CD-R or CD-RW that
was recorded without folders or playlists.
When the CD-R or CD-RW contains only playlists
and compressed audio les, but no folders, all les
are located under the root folder. The folder down
and the folder up buttons search playlists (Px) rst
and then goes to the root folder.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW are
played in the following order:
Play begins from the rst track in the rst
playlist and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each playlist. When the last track
of the last playlist has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst playlist.
Play begins from the rst track in the rst
folder and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each folder. When the last track of
the last folder has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst folder.

Compressed Audio or Mixed Mode Discs
The radio also plays discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and
MP3/WMA les depending on which slot the disc
is loaded into. By default the radio reads only
the uncompressed audio (.CDA) and ignores the
MP3/WMA les on the DVD deck. On the CD
deck, pressing the CAT button toggles between
compressed and uncompressed audio format, the
default being the uncompressed format (.CDA).
