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 ignores the MP3 les.
Pressing the CAT (category) button toggles
between compressed and uncompressed
audio format.
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal
computer:
Make sure the MP3 les are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Avoid mixing 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 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, and might not fully display.
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 previous and next
folder buttons, the tuner knob, or the seek buttons.
An MP3 CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded
using no le folders can also be played.

Drunken Driving
Death and injury associated with drinking and
driving is a national tragedy. It is the number one
contributor to the highway death toll, claiming
thousands of victims every year.
Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to
drive a vehicle:
Judgment
Muscular Coordination
Vision
Attentiveness
Police records show that almost half of all motor
vehicle-related deaths involve alcohol. In most
cases, these deaths are the result of someone who
was drinking and driving. In recent years, more
than 16,000 annual motor vehicle-related deaths
have been associated with the use of alcohol,
with more than 300,000 people injured.Many adults — by some estimates, nearly half
the adult population — choose never to drink
alcohol, so they never drive after drinking.
For persons under 21, it is against the law in
every U.S. state to drink alcohol. There are good
medical, psychological, and developmental
reasons for these laws.
The obvious way to eliminate the leading highway
safety problem is for people never to drink
alcohol and then drive. But what if people do?
How much is “too much” if someone plans
to drive? It is a lot less than many might think.
Although it depends on each person and situation,
here is some general information on the problem.
The Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of
someone who is drinking depends upon four
things:
The amount of alcohol consumed
The drinker’s body weight
The amount of food that is consumed before
and during drinking
The length of time it has taken the drinker to
consume the alcohol
