CD PLAYERINTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the variants regarding the
operation of the CD player: as far as the operation
of the radio is concerned, refer to the description
in the "Functions and Adjustments" chapter.
SELECTING THE CD PLAYER
To activate the CD player built-into the
equipment, proceed as follows:
❒load a CD with the equipment switched on: the
first track will start to play;
or
❒if a CD has already been loaded, turn on the car
radio and then briefly press the CD button to
select the “CD” operating mode: the last track
listened to will start to play.
It is advisable to use original CDs to ensure
optimum playback. If CD-R/RWs are used, we
recommend using good quality media that are
burnt at the slowest speed possible.LOADING/EJECTING A CD
To 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-ON: in this case the
radio will remain off. When the radio is turned on,
the last source listened to before being switched 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 automatically starts
playing the first track.
Press the
button (EJECT) 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 tuned into (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the car 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 the wrong
way round or there is reading error) the display

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 be 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.
If the CD player overheats the CD playing could
be temporarily interrupted. The radio will
automatically turn to the Radio (Tuner) mode and
the display will show “CD hot” and then “CD disc
error”.DISPLAY INFORMATION

CD MP3 PLAYERINTRODUCTION
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 "CD MP3
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.
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 in folders
that create 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
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) -
22.05 kHz, mono or stereo (32 to 80 kbit);
❒tracks with a variable bit-rate can be
reproduced.
293
SOUND-SYSTEM
Note
The names of tracks must not contain 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 NEXT/PREVIOUS FOLDER
Press 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.

SOUND-SYSTEM
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.
