You can change playlists by using the pre-
vious and next folder buttons, the tuner
knob, or the seek buttons. You can also
play an MP3 CD-R that was recorded
using no file folders. If a CD-R contains
more than the maximum of 50 folders, 15
playlists, and 512 folders and files, the
player lets you access and navigate up to
the maximum, but all items over the maxi-
mum are not accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated
as a folder. If the root directory has com-
pressed audio files, the directory is dis-
played as the CD label. All files contained
directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory fold-
ers. However, playlists (Px) are always
accessed before root folders or files.
If a disc contains both uncompressed CD
audio (.CDA) and MP3 files, a folder under
the root directory called CD access all of
the CD audio tracks on the disc.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists some-
where in the file structure that contains
only folders/subfolders and no compressed
files directly beneath them, the player
advances to the next folder in the file struc-
ture that contains compressed audio files.
The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When the CD-R contains only compressed
files, the files are located under the rootfolder. The next and previous folder func-
tions do not display on a CD-R that was
recorded without folders or playlists.
When the CD-R contains only playlists and
compressed audio files, but no folders, all
files are located under the root folder. The
folder down and the folder up buttons
searches playlists (Px) first and then goes
to the root folder.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R are played in
the following order:
 Play begins from the first track in the first
playlist and continues sequentially
through all tracks in each playlist. When
the last track of the last playlist has been
played, play continues from the first track
of the first playlist.
 Play begins from the first track in the first
folder and continues sequentially
through all tracks in each folder. When
the last track of the last folder has
played, play continues from the first track
of the first folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display
does not automatically show the new folder
name unless you have chosen the folder
mode as the default display. The new track
name appears on the display.
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 file name with-
out the extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or
four pages are shortened. The display
does not show parts of words on the last
page of text and the extension of the file-
name is not displayed.
Preprogrammed Playlists
You can access preprogrammed playlists
that were created using WinAmp
TM, Music-
Match

depending on the number of MP3 files
recorded to the CD-R. The radio may
begin playing while it is scanning the disc
in the background. When the scan is fin-
ished, the CD-R begins playing again.
Once the disc has been scanned, the
player defaults to playing MP3 files in order
by artist. The current artist playing is
shown on the second line of the display

MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW Disc Com-
pressed Audio or Mixed Mode Discs
The radio also plays discs that contain
both uncompressed CD audio (.CDA files)
and MP3/WMA files depending on which
slot the disc is loaded into. By default the
radio reads only the uncompressed audio
(.CDA) and ignores the MP3/WMA files on
the DVD deck. On the CD deck, pressing
the CAT button toggles between com-
pressed 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 files are recorded on
a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
 Do not mix standard audio and MP3 files
on one disc.
 The CD player (lower slot) is able to read
and play a maximum combination of 512
files and folders. The DVD player (upper
slot) is able to read 255 folders, 15 playl-
ists and 40 sessions.
 Create a folder structure that makes it
easy to find songs while driving. Orga-
nize songs by albums using one folder
for each album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
 Avoid subfolders. The system can sup-
port up to eight subfolders deep, how-
ever, keep the total number of folders to
a minimum in order to reduce the com-
plexity and confusion in trying to locate a
particular folder during playback.
 Make sure playlists have a .m3u, .wpl or
.pls extension as other file extensions
may not work.
 Minimize the length of the file, folder or
playlist names. Long file, folder, or playl-
ist names, or a combination of a large
number of files and folders, or playlists
may cause the player to be unable to
play up to the maximum number of files,
folders, playlists, or sessions. If you wish
to play a large number of files, folders,
playlists, or sessions, minimize the

length of the file, 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 com-
pressed audio files, the directory is dis-
played as F1 ROOT. All files contained
directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory fold-
ers. However, playlists (Px) are always
accessed before root folders or files.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists some-
where in the file structure that contains

Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R are played in
the following order:
 Play begins from the first track in the first
playlist and continues sequentially
through all tracks in each playlist. When
the last track of the last playlist has
played, play continues from the first track
of the first playlist.
 Play begins from the first track in the first
folder and continues sequentially
through all tracks in each folder. When
the last track of the last folder has
played, play continues from the first track
of the first folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display
does not automatically show the new folder
name unless the folder mode was chosen
as the default display. The new track name
displays.
File System and Naming
The song name that is displayed 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 file 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 filename displays.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created
using WinAmp
TM, MusicMatch
TM, or Real
Jukebox
TM software can be accessed,
however, they cannot be edited using the
radio. These playlists are treated as spe-
cial folders containing compressed audio
song files.
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 pulls
it in, and the CD-R should begin playing.
Depending on the format of the disc, a
softkey menu appears and allows naviga-
tion of the disc. The menu reads left to
right as RDM (Randomize song play
order), a Folder icon with left and right
arrows (to move up or down through avail-
able 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 the ignition or radio is turned off with a
CD-R in the player, it stays in the player.
When the ignition or radio is turned on, the
CD-R starts to play where it stopped, if it
was the last selected audio source.

depending on the number of MP3 files
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 can begin playing while
it is scanning the disc in the background.
When the scan is finished, the CD-R
begins playing again.
Once the disc has been scanned, the
player defaults to playing MP3 files 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 files by another artist, press the push-button located below either arrow button.
The disc goes to the next or previous artist
in alphabetical order. Continue pressing
either button until the desired artist is dis-
played.
To change from playback by artist to play-
back 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 begin to play. Once all songs
from that album are played, the player
moves to the next album in alphabetical
order on the CD-R and begins playing MP3
files from that album.
To exit music navigator mode, press the
pushbutton below the Back label to return
to normal MP3 playback.
