The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and
the smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced
due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been recorded, and the way the
CD-R has been handled. There may be an increase
in skipping, difficulty in nding tracks, and/or difficulty in

Using an MP3 CD
MP3 Format
This MP3 player will accept MP3 les that were
recorded on an up to 700 MB CD-R CD. The les
can be recorded with the following xed bit rates:
32 kpbs, 40 kpbs, 56 kpbs, 64 kpbs, 80 kpbs, 96 kpbs,
112 kpbs, 128 kpbs, 160 kpbs, 192 kpbs, 224 kpbs,
256 kpbs, and 320 kpbs or a variable bit rate. Song
title, artist name, and album will be available when
recorded using ID3 tags versions 1 and 2.
The player will be able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 les.
Long le, folder, or playlist names or a combination
of a large number of les and folders or playlists may
cause the player to be unable to play up to the
maximum number of les, folders, playlists, or sessions.
If you wish to play large numbers of les, folders,
playlists or sessions minimize the length of the le,
folder or playlist name. You can also play an MP3 CD
that was recorded using no le folders. The system
can support up to 11 folders in depth, though, keep the
depth of the folders to a minimum in order to keep
down the complexity and confusion in trying to locate
a particular folder during playback. If a CD contains
more than the maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists,
10 sessions, and 255 les the player will let you access
and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum will be ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio les, the directory
will be displayed as F1 ROOT. All les contained directly
under the root directory will be accessed prior to any
root directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will always
be 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 and no
compressed les directly beneath them, the player will
advance to the next folder in the le structure that
contains compressed audio les and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD contains only compressed les, the les
will be located under the root folder. The next and
previous folder functions will have no function on a
CD that was recorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the folder the radio will
display ROOT.
3-91

When the CD contains only playlists and compressed
audio les, but no folders, all les will be located under
the root folder. The folder down and the folder up
buttons will search playlists (Px) rst and then go to the
root folder. When the radio displays the name of the
folder the radio will display ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks will be played in the following order:
Play will begin from the rst track in the rst playlist
and will continue sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist
has been played, play will continue from the rst
track of the rst playlist.
If the CD does not contain any playlists, then play
will begin from the rst track under the root
directory. When all tracks from the root directory
have been played, play will continue from les
according to their numerical listing. After playing
the last track from the last folder, play will
begin again at the rst track of the rst folder or
root directory.
When play enters a new folder, the display will not
automatically show the new folder name unless
you have chosen the folder mode as the default display.
See the information button later in this section for
more information. The new track name will appear on
the display.
File System and Naming
The song name that will be displayed will be the song
name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name
is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio will
display the le name without the extension (such as
.mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages
will be shortened. The display will not show parts
of words on the last page of text and the extension of
the lename will not be displayed.
Preprogrammed Playlists
You can access preprogrammed playlists which were
created by WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real
Jukebox™ software, however, you will not have editing
capability. These playlists will be treated as special
folders containing compressed audio song les.
Playing an MP3
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The
player will pull it in, and READING will appear on
the display. The CD should begin playing and the CD
symbol will appear on the display.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the
player it will stay in the player. When the ignition or radio
is turned on, the CD will start to play where it stopped,
if it was the last selected audio source.
