sources for extended periods.
MP3 and WMA Track and Folder
Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing and
playing MP3 and WMA individual tracks and
folder structures work as follows:
•
There are two different modes for MP3
and WMA disc playback: MP3 and WMA
track mode (system default) and MP3 and
WMA folder mode.
• MP3 and WMA track mode ignores any
folder structure on the MP3 and WMA
disc. The player numbers each MP3 and
WMA track on the disc (noted by the MP3
or WMA file extension) from T001 to a
maximum of T255. The maximum number
of playable MP3 and WMA files may be
less depending on the structure of the
CD and exact model of radio present. •
MP3 and WMA folder mode represents
a folder structure consisting of one level
of folders. The CD player numbers all
MP3 and WMA tracks on the disc (noted
by the MP3 or WMA file extension) and
all folders containing MP3 and WMA files,
from F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253
T255.
• Creating discs with only one level of
folders helps with navigation through the
disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 and WMA
discs, it is important to understand how the
system reads the structures you create. While
various files may be present, (files with
extensions other than MP3 and WMA), only
files with the MP3 and WMA extension are
played; other files are ignored by the system.
This enables you to use the same MP3 and
WMA disc for a variety of tasks on your work
computer, home computer and your
in-vehicle system. In track mode, the system displays and plays
the structure as if it were only one level deep
(all MP3 and WMA files play, regardless of
being in a specific folder). In folder mode,
the system only plays the MP3 and WMA files
in the current folder.

MKZ Hybrid (), enUSA MyLincoln Touch™

HD Radio technology is the digital evolution
of analog AM/FM radio. Your system has a
special receiver that allows it to receive
digital broadcasts (where available) in
addition to the analog broadcasts, it already
receives. Digital broadcasts provide a better
sound quality than analog broadcasts with
free, crystal-clear audio and no static or
distortion. For more information, and a guide
to available stations and programming,
please visit www.hdradio.com.
When HD Radio is on and you tune to a
station broadcasting HD Radio technology,
you may notice the following indicators on
your screen:
The HD Radio logo either blinks when
acquiring a digital station, and then stays
solid when digital audio is playing, or is grey
when acquiring a digital station, and then
changes to orange when digital audio is
playing. When this logo is available, you may
also see Title and Artist fields on-screen.
The multicast indicator appears in FM mode
(only) if the current station is broadcasting
multiple digital broadcasts. The highlighted
numbers signify available digital channels
where new or different content is available.
HD1 signifies the main programming status
and is available in analog and digital
broadcasts. Other multicast stations (HD2
through HD7) are only available digitally.
TAG allows you to save a song to download
later when you are on an acquired HD Radio
station and the feature is on. To turn the
feature on and use it:
1. Press
AM or FM > Options > TAG Button
> On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touch TAG
.
3. The system automatically saves the song's information and transfers it to your
portable music player (if supported) when
you connect it to the system. The system
automatically transfers the tag to your
player (if already connected) and a
pop-up confirms the transfer.
4. When you access iTunes with your portable music player, the tags appear
to you as a reminder. The system allows
you to tag up to approximately 100
songs. For a list of devices that support
tagging, see www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.

When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you
can access the following functions:
•
Scan allows you to hear a brief sampling
of all available stations. This feature still
works when HD Radio reception is on,
although it does not scan for HD2-HD7
channels. You may see the HD logo
appear if the station has a digital
broadcast. •
Memory presets
allow you to save an
active channel as a memory preset.
Touch and hold a memory preset slot
until the sound returns. There is a brief
mute while the radio saves the station.
Sound returns when finished. When
switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory
preset, the sound mutes before the
digital audio plays, because the system
has to reacquire the digital signal. Note:
As with any saved radio station, you
cannot access the saved station if your
vehicle is outside the station’ s reception
area.
HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting Potential reception issues
If you are listening to a multicast station and you are on the fringe of\
the reception area, the station may mute
due to weak signal strength.
Reception area
If you are listening to HD1, the system switches back to the analog broa\
dcast until the digital broadcast is
available again. However, if you are listening to any of the possible HD2-HD7 multicast channels\
, the station
mutes and stays muted unless it is able to connect to the digital signal\
again.
When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-HD7 multicast \
stations), it first plays the station in the
analog version. Once the receiver verifies the station is an HD Radio station, it shifts to the digital version.
Depending on the station quality, you may hear a slight sound change when the station changes from analo\
g
to digital. Blending is the shift from analog to digital sound or digita\
l back to analog sound.
