down and provide it to your dealer/
retailer when reporting the problem.
Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
The radio system has an auxiliary
input jack located on the lower right
side of the faceplate. This is not
an audio output; do not plug the
headphone set into the front auxiliary
input jack. An external audio device
such as an iPod™, laptop computer,
MP3 player, CD changer, etc. can be
connected to the auxiliary input jack
for use as another audio source.
Drivers are encouraged to set up
any auxiliary device while the vehicle
is in P (Park). SeeDefensive Driving
on page 4-3for more information on
driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player,
connect a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) cable
to the radio’s front auxiliary input
jack. When a device is connected,
press the radio CD/AUX button to
begin playing audio from the device
over the vehicle speakers.
O(Power/Volume):Turn to
increase or decrease the volume
of the portable player. Additional
volume adjustments might have to
be made from the portable device
if the volume is not loud or soft
enough.
BAND:Press to listen to the radio
when a portable audio device is
playing. The portable audio device
continues playing.
CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary):Press to
play a CD when a portable audio
device is playing. Press again and
the system begins playing audio from
the connected portable audio player.
If a portable audio player is not
connected, “No Input Device Found”
displays.

Using an MP3
MP3 CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3 les that were
recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
The les can be recorded with the
following xed bit rates: 32 kbps,
40 kbps, 56 kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps,
96 kbps, 112 kbps, 128 kbps,
160 kbps, 192 kbps, 224 kbps,
256 kbps, and 320 kbps or a variable
bit rate. Song title, artist name, and
album are available for display by the
radio when recorded using ID3 tags
version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that
contain both uncompressed CD
audio (.CDA les) and MP3 les.
By default the radio reads only the
uncompressed audio and ignore
the MP3 les. Pressing the CAT
(category) button toggles between
compressed and uncompressed
audio format.MP3 Format
To burn an MP3 disc on a personal
computer:Make sure the MP3 les
are recorded on a CD-R
or CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and
MP3 les on one disc.
The CD player is able to
read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, and
255 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 may 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. 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 can cause the
disc not to function in the player.
Instrument Panel 3-75
ProCarManuals.com

Playlists can be changed by using
the previous and next folder buttons,
the tune knob, or the SEEK arrows.
An MP3 CD-R or CD-RW that was
recorded using no le folders can
also be played. If a CD-R or CD-RW
contains more than the maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les,
the player can 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 displays
as F1 ROOT. 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.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the le structure that
contains only folders/subfolders andno 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 contains only
compressed les, the les are
located under the root folder.
The next and previous folder
functions do not display on a CD
that was recorded without folders
or playlists. When displaying
the name of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists
and compressed audio les, but no
folders, all les are located under the
root folder. The folder down and up
buttons searches playlists (Px) rst
and then go 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 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 been 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 is displayed 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 by 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

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell
phone chargers, vehicle
convenience accessories, and
external electronic devices are
plugged into the accessory power
outlet. If there is interference or
static, unplug the item from the
accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere
with each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations
boost the power levels during the
day, and then reduce these levels
during the night. Static can also
occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try
reducing the treble on the radio.
