DVD/CD AUX (Auxiliary):Press this button to
cycle through DVD, CD, or Auxiliary when listening
to the radio. The DVD/CD text label and a message
showing track or chapter number will appear on
display when a disc is in either slot. Press this
button again and the system will automatically
search for an auxiliary input device, such as a
portable audio player. If a portable audio player
is not connected, “no aux input device” will be
displayed. If a disc is in both the DVD slot and the
CD slot the DVD/CD AUX button will cycle between
the two sources and not indicate “no aux input
device”. If a front auxiliary device is connected, the
DVD/CD AUX button will cycle through all available
options, such as: DVD slot, CD slot, Front AUX, and
Rear AUX (if available). See “Using the Auxiliary
Input Jack(s)” later in this section, orRear Seat
Entertainment System on page 321, “Audio/Video
(A/V) Jacks” for more information.
If a disc is inserted into top DVD slot, the rear seat
operator can turn on the video screen and use the
remote control to navigate the CD (tracks only)
through the remote control.Audio Output
Only one audio source can be heard through
the speakers at one time. An audio source
is dened as DVD slot, CD slot, XM™, FM/AM,
Front Aux Jack, or Rear Aux Jack.
Press the power button to turn the radio on.
The radio can be heard through all of the vehicle
speakers.
Front seat passengers can listen to the radio (AM,
FM, or XM) by pressing the BAND button or the
DVD/CD AUX button to select CD slot, DVD
slot, front or rear auxiliary input (if available).
If a playback device is plugged into the radio’s
front auxiliary input jack or the rear auxiliary jack,
the front seat passengers will be able to listen
to playback from this source through the vehicle
speakers. See “Using the Auxiliary Input Jack(s)”
later in this section, orRear Seat Entertainment
System on page 321, “Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks” for
more information.
In some vehicles, depending on audio options,
the rear speakers can be muted when the
RSA power is turned on. SeeRear Seat Audio
(RSA) on page 333for more information.

Using an MP3/WMA CD-R or
CD-RW Disc
Compressed Audio or Mixed Mode Discs
The radio will also play discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and
MP3/WMA les depending on which slot the disc
is loaded into. By default the radio will read
only the uncompressed audio (.CDA) and ignore
the MP3/WMA les on the DVD deck. On the
CD deck, pressing the CAT button will toggle
between compressed and uncompressed audio
format, the default being the uncompressed
format (.CDA).
MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA 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 (lower slot) is able to read and
play a maximum combination of 512 les and
folders. The DVD player (upper slot) is able to
read 255 folders, 15 playlists and 40 sessions.
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 .m3u, .wpl or .pls
extension (other le extensions may not work).
304

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 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 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 may
cause the disc not to function in the player.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is 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-R contains only compressed les,
the les will be located under the root folder.
The next and previous folder functions will not be
displayed on a CD-R that was recorded without
folders or playlists. When displaying the name of
the folder the radio will display ROOT.
When the CD-R 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.
305

Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R 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.
Play will begin from the rst track in the rst
folder and will continue sequentially through
all tracks in each folder. When the last track of
the last folder has been played, play will
continue from the rst track of the rst folder.
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. 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 that
were created using WinAmp™, MusicMatch™,
or Real Jukebox™ software, however, you will not
have playlist editing capability using the radio.
These playlists will be treated as special folders
containing compressed audio song les.
306

Playing an MP3 (In Either the DVD or
CD Slot)
Insert a CD-R partway into either the top or
bottom slot, label side up. The player will pull it in,
and the CD-R should begin playing.
Depending on the format of the disc, a softkey
menu will appear and allow navigation of the disc.
The menu will read left to right as RDM
(Randomize song play order), a Folder icon with
left and right arrows (to move up or down
through available folders), a PL tag if the disc has
a Playlist available, and a Music Navigator tag.
If a Playlist tag is shown, toggling this key brings
up a Folder softkey only or the menu as
previously described.
If you turn off the ignition or radio with a CD-R in
the player it will stay in the player. When you
turn on the ignition or radio, the CD-R will start to
play where it stopped, if it was the last selected
audio source.As each new track starts to play, the track number
and song title will appear on the display.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CD-Rs with an adapter ring. Full-size
CD-Rs and the smaller CD-Rs 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 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 338for more information.
307

h(Music Navigator):Use the music navigator
feature to play MP3 les on the CD-R in order
by artist or album. Press the pushbutton located
below the music navigator label. The player
will scan 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 les recorded to the CD-R.
To cancel music navigator while the player is
scanning, press the pushbutton located below the
music navigator label or eject the disc.
The radio may begin playing while it is scanning
the disc in the background. When the scan is
nished, the CD-R will begin playing again.
Once the disc has been scanned, the player will
default to playing MP3 les in order by artist.
The current artist playing is shown on the second
line of the display between the arrows. If you
want to listen to MP3 les by another artist,
press the pushbutton located below either arrow
button. You will go to the next or previous
artist in alphabetic order. Continue pressing either
button until the desired artist is displayed.To change from playback by artist to playback by
album, press the pushbutton located below the
Sort By label. From the sort screen, push one of
the buttons below the album button. Press the
pushbutton below the back label to return to the
main music navigator screen. Now the album
name is displayed on the second line between the
arrows and songs from the current album will
begin to play. Once all songs from that album are
played, the player will move to the next album
in alphabetic order on the CD-R and begin playing
MP3 les from that album.
To exit music navigator mode, press the
pushbutton below the Back label to return to
normal MP3 playback.
