MP3 mode
22MP3 modeWhat are MP3 files? MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standardised technology and format for the
compression of sound sequences. The sound file is compressed to about
1/10th of its original size. Sounds that are out of the human hearing range
are excluded while those that are within the range are compressed.Accepted recording formatsIt is possible to play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs.
The unit accepts MP3 discs that have been formatted using the ISO 9660
standard level 1 or 2. The unit can also play discs recorded using the Romeo
or Joliet standard.
The unit will not play CDs recorded using “Packet Writing” (UDF or Direct CD
formats) whether this has been used on the entire disc or within a session. In
this case the display will display an error message and will eject the CD.
ISO 9660 format
This is the most common of international standards for the format logic of
files and folders on a CD-ROM.
There are different levels of specification. For level 1, the names must be in
8.3 format (8 characters maximum for the name of the file + 3 characters for
the extension “.MP3”. Folder names cannot be more than 8 letters long. On
the contrary, Level 2 specifications allow up to 31 characters. Multi-session CDs
This method of recording means that information may later be added to the
CD (while there is enough space remaining and the CD is not closed). The
information on each recorded CD is contained within an area marked by two
data labels called “Lead-in” for the beginning of the session and “Lead-out”
for the end. A multi-session CD will allow for multiple segments that contain
their own “Lead-in” and “Lead-out”.
Information from the ID3 data fieldThe ID3 data of an MP3 file contains information on the Artist, Album and the
name of the track.
This unit can display the information from the ID3 data field, versions 1 and
2, to a maximum of 60 characters in total.
Note
•When an MP3 disc is being played it is possible that some songs may not
play or may be played incorrectly. This may be due to the configuration of the
disc, the software or the hardware used for the recording.•Audio CDs (CD-DA) meet the specifications and carry their corresponding
symbol. Those CDs with copyright protection do not meet these specifica-
tions and do not bear the corresponding symbol; for this reason there may be
errors in reading this type of disc.•For MP3 CDs, the MP3 data rate should oscillate between 8 and 320
Kb/sec.

display scrolls once the text to the left.
Additional instructions
Additional instructions for the mass storage device (MSD):•Only external data devices or USB mass storage devices complying with
the USB 2.0 specification can be used.•Partition of an external data device shall be in accordance with the file
system, FAT16 (< 2 GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB) (FAT: File Allocation Table).•MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) players, recognised by the commercial
name “PlaysForSure” or “ReadyForVista ”, are highly sensitive to factors
including the battery charge and the volume of data in the MEDIA-IN multi-
media interface requests. It may take several minutes before an MTP player is
ready to play.•When playing large capacity hard discs with several files and a complex
data structure (several folders and subfolders, non-playable files, etc.) it may
take some time to read the audio files. The reaction time may also be influ-
enced by the connected device.•The structure of the folders in the external data device shall not exceed a
depth of eight folder levels. A folder should not contain more than 1,000
entries.
•The use of USB cable extensions and USB hubs may cause operating
errors.•If an external data device is divided into various partitions, only the first
partition with compatible audio files will be played.•Memory card adapters can not be used, their use may cause operating
errors.•If an MP3 player is updated via the manufacturer (firmware update) this
may lead to operating errors.•An external data device should be connected first or select the corre-
sponding data mode.•Compatible formats include: MP3, WMA, OGG-Vorbis, AAC.•Please refer to the respective manufacturer's manual for instructions on
the operation of the external data medium.
Compatible file formats
The use of file formats which can be played on this equipment is the same as
for compressed audio files in MP3 format and will not be explained further in
this manual.•The radio and navigation equipment can be used to play and control
audio files in MP3, WMA, OGG Vorbis and AAC format from an external data
device.•Playlists in PLS, B4S, ASX and WPL format are compatible.•W M A ( W i n d o w s M e d i a A u d i o ) a u d i o f il e s ca n o n l y b e p la y e d i f t h e y a r e n o t
protected by authors' rights with the DRM (Digital Rights Management)
system.•Generally, files with anti-copy protection can not be played (e.g. M4P).•Files in 3GP format and “WMA lossless” file types can not be played.
Check there are no MP3 files stored in the playlist. A playlist only defines a
certain order of play. If a playlist is not played, check whether the “route data”
is correct, that is, whether the MP3 files are stored in the data device to which
the playlist refers.

Important information concerning the CD reader33
Important information concerning the CD readerPrecautionary measures for the use of laser equipmentLaser devices are classified by DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837 into safety
classes 1 to 4.
The SEAT CD player corresponds to safety class 1.
The lasers used in these units are low energy lasers, or are shielded in such
a manner that they present no danger when used correctly.
Do not remove the cover of the unit. It does not have any parts which can be
serviced by the user.Tips for CD modeTo ensure perfect, high-quality CD reproduction, only clean, undamaged CDs
should be used.
Please do not stick any labels onto the CDs.
Compact discs not being used should always be stored in the CD rack (you
can find one, for example, in the SEAT Genuine accessories Catalogue) or in
their original case.
Never expose CDs to direct sunlight!
Caution
Use only standard 12 cm CDs. Special “shape CDs” or 8 cm “singles” cannot
be played because they may damage the CD player.
Tips on cleaning CDsUse a soft, lint-free cloth to clean CDs. Clean discs in a straight line from the
centre outwards. If they are very dirty use a conventional CD cleaner or
isopropyl alcohol.
WARNING
Never use fluids such as petrol, paint thinner or record cleaner, as these
can damage the CD surface!
