Playing a CD (Single CD Player)
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The
player pulls it in and the CD should begin playing.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the
player, it stays in the player. When the ignition or
radio is turned on, the CD starts playing where it
stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
When a CD is inserted, CD and the CD symbol
appears on the display. As each new track starts to
play the track number appears on the display.
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 (and playback
performance) may be reduced due to the CD-R
quality, method of recording, the quality of
the music that has been recorded, and the way
the CD-R has been handled. For better playback
performance when home burning audio discs,
use brand named CD media showing the Compact
Disc™, and a burn rate no faster than 12X.

CD Messages
CHECK CD:If this message appears on the
display and/or the CD comes out, it could be for
one of the following reasons:
It is very hot. When the temperature returns
to normal, the CD should play.
You are driving on a very rough road.
When the road becomes smoother, the
CD should play.
The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or
upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an
hour and try again.
There may have been a problem while
burning the CD.
The label may be caught in the CD player.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other
reason, try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot
be corrected, contact your dealer. If the radio
displays an error message, write it down
and provide it to your dealer when reporting
the problem.
Using an MP3
MP3 CD-R Disc
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal
computer:
Make sure the MP3 les are recorded on a
CD-R disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3 les on
one disc.
Make sure playlists have a .m3u or .wpl
extension, other le extensions may not work.
Files can be recorded with a variety of xed
or variable bit rates. Song title, artist name,
and album will be available for display by
the radio when recorded using ID3 tags
version 1 and 2.
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.
274

Make sure to nalize the disc when burning
an MP3 disc, using multiple sessions. It is
usually better to burn the disc all at once.
Do not use CD-RW discs.
Do not use colored discs.
The player will be able to read and play a
maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions,
and 255 les. Long le names, folder names,
or playlist names may use more disc memory
space than necessary. To conserve space on the
disc, minimize the length of the le, folder, or
playlist names. 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 lets you access and
navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum cannot be accessed.
Root Directory
The root directory will be 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 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 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 will not display.
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 not function
on a CD that was recorded without folders or
playlists. When displaying the name of the folder
the radio displays ROOT.
275

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 the folder up buttons search 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 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.
If the CD does not contain any playlists,
then play begins from the rst track under
the root directory. When all tracks from
the root directory have played, play continues
from les according to their numerical
listing. After playing the last track from the last
folder, play begins again at the rst track of
the rst folder or root directory.When play enters a new folder, the display does
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 appears on the display.
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 will 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.
276

Playing an MP3
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up.
The player pulls it in, and READING appears
on the display. The CD should begin playing and
the CD symbol appears on the display.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in
the player it stays in the player. When the ignition
or radio is turned on, the CD starts to play
where it stopped, if it was the last selected audio
source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number
appears on the display.
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 (and playback
performance) may be reduced due to the CD-R
quality, method of recording, the quality of
the music that has been recorded, and the way
the CD-R has been handled. For better playback
performance when home burning audio discs,
use brand named CD media showing the Compact
Disc™, and a burn rate no faster than 12X.There may be an increase in skipping, difficulty in
nding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and
ejecting. If these problems occur, check the bottom
surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD is
damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched,
the CD will not play properly. If the surface of
the CD is soiled, seeCare of Your CDs and DVDs
on page 343for more information.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.
Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught
in the CD player. If a CD is recorded on a
personal computer and a description label is
needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD
with a marking pen.
Notice:If you add any label to a CD, insert
more than one CD into the slot at a time, or
attempt to play scratched or damaged CDs, you
could damage the CD player. When using the
CD player, use only CDs in good condition
without any label, load one CD at a time, and
keep the CD player and the loading slot free of
foreign materials, liquids, and debris.
If an error appears on the display, see
“CD Messages” later in this section.

Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features
intended to minimize driver distraction. Technology
alone, no matter how advanced, can never
replace your own judgment. See the Navigation
System manual for some tips to help you
reduce distractions while driving.
Rear Seat Entertainment System
(Option A, Uplevel)
Your vehicle may have this type of DVD Rear
Seat Entertainment (RSE) system. If it has
this feature, it will include a DVD player, a video
display screen, auxiliary inputs, two sets of

up in auxiliary mode.
282

Before You Drive
The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers
only. The driver cannot safely view the video
screen while driving and should not try to do so.
The RSE system will play DVD, CD, and MP3
discs. You can also connect an auxiliary device to
the RSE system to play games, watch videos,
look at pictures, etc.
Normal operation may be limited under extremely
low or high temperatures, in order to protect
the system from damage. Operate the RSE system
under normal or comfortable cabin temperature
ranges.
Headphones
Wireless Headphones
The RSE system may include two sets of wireless
headphones (batteries are included).
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF
switch, a channel select switch, and a volume
control. To use the headphones, turn the switch
to ON. An indicator light on the headphones
will illuminate. If the light does not illuminate, the
batteries may need to be replaced.See “Battery Replacement” later in this section for
more information. Switch the headphones to
OFF when not in use.
The headphones will shut off automatically to save
the battery power if the RSE system is shut off
or if the headphones are out of range of the
transmitters for more than three minutes. The
transmitters are located next to the DVD faceplate.
If you move too far forward or step out of the
vehicle, the headphones will lose the audio signal.
DVD and auxiliary audio will always be found
on channel (CHA or CH1) of the wireless
headphones. RSA audio is dedicated to CHB or
CH2 of the wireless headphones.
To adjust the volume on the wireless headphones,
use the volume control.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat
or direct sunlight. This could damage the
headphones and repairs will not be covered by
your warranty. Keep the headphones stored
in a cool, dry place.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD,
MP3, or DVD play, there may be a low hissing
noise through the speakers and/or headphones.
