MP3 playback
You can play an MP3 CD on the
CD changer* as you would any standard
audio CD. All of the functions described for
the CD changer also apply for the playback
of MP3 CDs. Keep in mind that the single
CD player in the audio system unit is not
able to read MP3 CDs.
The first 99 tracks on the CD, including
tracks in subdirectories, are recognized
and played. Any additional tracks will not
be played.

!If a CD is already loaded, it must be ejected
before inserting a new CD. Inserting a second
