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 displays
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 disc
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 disc that was
recorded without folders or playlists.
When the CD-R or CD-RW
disc contains only playlists and
compressed audio les, but no
folders, all les are located under
the root folder. The folder down and
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 disc 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.
When play enters a new folder,
the display does not automatically
show the new folder name unless
the folder mode is chosen as the
default display. The new track name
displays.

File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the
song name that is contained in the
ID3 tag. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the radio
displays the le name without the
extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than
32 characters or four pages are
shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension
of the lename does not display.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that
were created using WinAmp™,
MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed, however,
they cannot be edited using the
radio. These playlists are treated
as special folders containing
compressed audio song les.Playing an MP3/WMA
Insert a CD-R or CD-RW disc
partway into the slot label side up.
The player pulls it in, and the
CD-R or CD-RW should begin
playing.
ZEJECT:Press to eject the disc.
f(Tune):Turn to select MP3/WMA
les on the CD-R or CD-RW
currently playing.
©SEEK¨:Press the left
SEEK arrow to go to the start of

Using an MP3 (Radio
with CD and DVD Player)
MP3/WMA CD-R or
CD-RW Disc
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 (category)
button toggles between compressed
and uncompressed audio format,
the default being the uncompressed
format (.CDA).MP3/WMA Format
To create an 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 (lower slot) is
able to read and play a maximum
combination of 512 les and
folders. The DVD player (upper
slot) is able to read 255 folders,
15 playlists and 40 sessions.
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 inorder to reduce the complexity
and confusion in trying to locate a
particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .m3u,
.wpl or .pls extension as 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 could
cause the player to be unable to
play up to the maximum number
of les, folders, playlists, or
sessions. 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
burning it. Trying to add music to
an existing disc could cause the
disc not to function in the player.

The root directory of the CD-R or
CD-RW disc is treated as a folder.
If the root directory has compressed
audio les, the directory is displayed
as F1 ROOT. All les contained
directly under the root directory are

folders. However, playlists (Px) are
always accessed before root folders

When the CD-R or CD-RW disc
contains only compressed les, the
les are located under the root folder.
The next and previous folder function
does not function on a CD-R or
CD-RW that was recorded without
folders or playlists. When displaying
the name of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.
When the CD-R or CD-RW disc
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. When the radio
displays the name of the folder the
radio displays ROOT.Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or
CD-RW disc are played in the
following order:

shown, toggling this key brings up a
Folder softkey only or the menu as
previously described.
If the ignition or radio is turned off
with a CD-R or CD-RW disc in the
player it stays in the player. When
the ignition or radio is turned backon, the CD-R or CD-RW starts to
