h(Music Navigator):Use the music navigator
feature to play MP3 les on the CD-R or CD-RW in order
by artist or album. Press the pushbutton located below
the music navigator tab. The player scans the disc to
sort the les by artist and album ID3 tag information.
It can 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 can 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 been 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 are
played, the player moves to the next artist in alphabetical
order on the CD-R or CD-RW and begins playing MP3
les by that artist. 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.
To change from playback by artist to playback by album,
press the pushbutton located below the Sort By tab. From
the sort screen, push one of the buttons below the albumbutton. Press the pushbutton below the back tab 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 begins to play. Once all
songs from that album are played, the player moves to
the next album in alphabetical order on the CD-R/CD-RW
and begin playing MP3/WMA les from that album.
To exit music navigator mode, press the pushbutton
below the Back tab to return to normal MP3/WMA
playback.

Using an MP3 (Radio with CD and
DVD Player)
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW Disc
Compressed Audio or Mixed Mode Discs
The radio also plays 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 reads only the uncompressed audio
(.CDA) and ignores the MP3/WMA les on the DVD
deck. On the CD deck, pressing the CAT (category)
button toggles between compressed and uncompressed
audio format, the default being the uncompressed
format (.CDA).
MP3/WMA Format
If you burn an 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.
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 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. To play a larger 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.
Finalize the audio disc before burning it. Trying to
add music to an existing disc can cause the disc
not to function in the player.

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 is displayed 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 contains only compressed les, the les
are located under the root folder. The next and previous
folder functions are not displayed on a CD that was
recorded without folders or playlists. When displaying
the name of the folder the radio displays ROOT.When the CD 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 go to the root folder.
When the radio displays the name of the folder the
radio displays ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW are played in
the following order:
Play begins from the rst track in the rst playlist
and continues sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist
has played, play continues from the rst track of
the rst playlist.
Play begins from the rst track in the rst folder
and continues sequentially through all tracks in
each folder. When the last track of the last folder
has played, play continues from the rst track of
the rst folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display does
not automatically show the new folder name unless
the folder mode is chosen as the default display.
The new track name displays.
3-93

File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the song name that is
contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not present
in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays the le name
without the extension (such as .mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages
are shortened. Parts of words on the last page of
text and the extension of the lename does not display.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created using
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™ software
can be accessed, however, they cannot be edited
using the radio. These playlists are treated as special
folders containing compressed audio song les.
