CD Messages
DISC ERROR:If this message displays and/or
the CD ejects, it could be for one of the following
reasons:
The radio system does not support the playlist
format, the compressed audio format, or the
data le format.
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

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/retailer. If the
radio displays an error message, write it down and
provide it to your dealer/retailer when reporting
the problem.
Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
Your 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.
You can however, connect an external audio
device such as an iPod, laptop computer, MP3
player, CD changer, or cassette tape player, etc. to
the auxiliary input jack for use as another source
for audio listening.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary
device while the vehicle is in PARK (P). See
Defensive Driving on page 302for more
information on driver distraction.
286

To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm
(1/8 inch) cable to the radio’s front auxiliary input
jack. When connecting an auxiliary device, the
radio automatically detects the device and “Aux
Input Device” displays. The device begins playing
audio over the vehicle speakers. If an auxiliary
device has already been connected, the device
does not begin playing audio until the radio’s
CD/AUX button is pressed.

Using an MP3
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3 and WMA 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 can
display when les are 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/WMA les. By default the radio reads
only the uncompressed audio and ignores the
MP3/WMA les. Pressing the CAT (category)
button toggles between compressed and
uncompressed audio format.
287

MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own 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.
Make sure the CD does not have more than
a maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and
255 les to read and play.
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 8 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 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 can cause the player to be
unable to play up to the maximum number of
les, folders, playlists, or sessions. If you wish
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 you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc can
cause the disc not to function in the player.
Change playlists by using the
Sc(previous)
and
cT(next) folder buttons, theaknob,
or the SEEK arrows. An MP3/WMA 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 lets you
access and navigate up to the maximum, but all
items over the maximum cannot be accessed.
288

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 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 contains only
compressed les, the les are located under
the root folder. The next and previous folder
functions do not display 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 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.
289

Playing an MP3/WMA

RDM (Random):With the random setting,
MP3/WMA les on the CD-R can be played in
random, rather than sequential order, on one
CD-R/CD-RW or all discs in a six-disc CD player.

feature to play MP3/WMA les on the CD-R or
CD-RW in order by artist or album. Press the
pushbutton located below the music navigator
label. The player scans the disc to sort the les by
artist and album ID3 tag information. It may take
several minutes to scan the disc depending on the
number of MP3/WMA les recorded to the CD-R or
CD-RW. The radio might begin playing while it is
scanning the disc in the background. When the
scan is nished, the CD-R or CD-RW begins
playing again.
Once the disc has scanned, the player defaults
to playing MP3/WMA les in order by artist. The
current artist playing is shown on the second line of
the display between the arrows. Once all songs by
that artist have played, the player moves to the next
artist in alphabetical order on the CD-R or CD-RW
and begins playing MP3/WMA les by that artist.
If you want to listen to MP3/WMA les by another
artist, press the pushbutton located below either
arrow button. The CD goes to the next or previous
artist in alphabetical order. Continue pressing either
button until the desired artist displays.

Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause interference
with your vehicle’s radio. This interference
may occur when making or receiving phone calls,
charging the phone’s battery, or simply having
the phone on. This interference is an increased
level of static while listening to the radio. If static
is received while listening to the radio, unplug
the cellular phone and turn it off.
Care of Your CDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans
the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a
CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, orscratched, the CD does not play properly or not at
all. If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft, lint
free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild,
neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and
clean it. Make sure the wiping process starts from
the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.
Care of the CD Player
Do not use CD lens cleaners for CD players
because the lens of the CD optics can become
contaminated by lubricants.
