CD Messages


CHECK CD: If this message appears on the display and/or the CD comes out, it could be for one of the following reasons: (cid:127)


It is very hot. When the temperature returns to normal, the CD should play.


(cid:127) You are driving on a very rough road.


When the road becomes smoother, the CD should play.


(cid:127) The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or


upside down.


(cid:127) The air is very humid. If so, wait about an


hour and try again.


(cid:127) There may have been a problem while


burning the CD.


(cid:127) The label may be caught in the CD player. If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other reason, try a known good CD. If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be corrected, contact your dealer. If the radio displays an error message, write it down and provide it to your dealer when reporting the problem.


Using an MP3
MP3 CD-R Disc MP3 Format If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal computer: (cid:127) Make sure the MP3 files are recorded on a


CD-R disc.


(cid:127) Do not mix standard audio and MP3 files on


one disc.


(cid:127) Make sure playlists have a .m3u or .wpl


extension, other file extensions may not work. (cid:127) Files can be recorded with a variety of fixed or


variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and album will be available for display by the radio when recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.


(cid:127) Create a folder structure that makes it easy to


find songs while driving. Organize songs by albums using one folder for each album. Each folder or album should contain 18 songs or less.


301


Root Directory The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio files, the directory is displayed as F1 ROOT. All files contained directly under the root directory are accessed prior to any root directory folders. However, playlists (Px) are always accessed before root folders or files. Empty Directory or Folder If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere 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 structure that contains compressed audio files. The empty folder will not display.


(cid:127) Make sure to finalize the disc when burning


an MP3 disc, using multiple sessions. It is usually better to burn the disc all at once.


(cid:127) Do not use CD-RW discs. (cid:127) Do not use colored discs. The player will be able to read and play a maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 files. Long file names, folder names, or playlist names may use more disc memory space than necessary. To conserve space on the disc, minimize the length of the file, folder, or playlist names. You can also play an MP3 CD that was recorded using no file folders. The system can support up to 11 folders in depth, though, keep the depth of the folders to a minimum in order to keep down the complexity and confusion in trying to locate a particular folder during playback. If a CD contains more than the maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 files the player lets you access and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over the maximum cannot be accessed.


302


No Folder When the CD contains only compressed files, the files will be located under the root folder. The next and previous folder functions will not function 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 files, but no folders, all files are located under the root folder. The folder down and the folder up buttons search playlists (Px) first and then go to the root folder. When the radio displays the name of the folder the radio displays ROOT. Order of Play Tracks are played in the following order: (cid:127) 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.


(cid:127)


If the CD does not contain any playlists, then play begins from the first track under the root directory. When all tracks from the root directory have played, play continues from files according to their numerical listing. After playing the last track from the last folder, play begins again at the first track of the first folder or root directory.


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. See the information button later in this section for more information. 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 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 will not display.


303


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 files. Playing an MP3

Navigation/Radio System Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system. The navigation system has built-in features intended to minimize driver distraction. Technology alone, no matter how advanced, can never replace your own judgment. See the Navigation System manual for some tips to help you reduce distractions while driving.


Rear Seat Entertainment System (Option A, Uplevel) Your vehicle may have this type of DVD Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system. If it has this feature, it will include a DVD player, a video display screen, auxiliary inputs, two sets of wireless headphones (if included), and a remote control.


Parental Control rj (Parental Control): This button is located behind the video screen, below the auxiliary jacks. Press this button while using RSA, or when a DVD or CD is playing to blank the video screen and to mute the audio. The power indicator lights on the DVD player will flash.

If no disc is in the player, the system will power up in auxiliary mode.


309


Before You Drive The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers only. The driver cannot safely view the video screen while driving and should not try to do so. The RSE system will play DVD, CD, and MP3
discs. You can also connect an auxiliary device to the RSE system to play games, watch videos, look at pictures, etc. Normal operation may be limited under extremely low or high temperatures, in order to protect the system from damage. Operate the RSE system under normal or comfortable cabin temperature ranges. Headphones Wireless Headphones The RSE system may include two sets of wireless headphones (batteries are included). The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF switch, a channel select switch, and a volume control. To use the headphones, turn the switch to ON. An indicator light on the headphones will illuminate. If the light does not illuminate, the batteries may need to be replaced.


310


See “Battery Replacement” later in this section for more information. Switch the headphones to OFF when not in use. The headphones will shut off automatically to save the battery power if the RSE system is shut off or if the headphones are out of range of the transmitters for more than three minutes. The transmitters are located next to the DVD faceplate. If you move too far forward or step out of the vehicle, the headphones will lose the audio signal. DVD and auxiliary audio will always be found on channel (CHA or CH1) of the wireless headphones. RSA audio is dedicated to CHB or CH2 of the wireless headphones. To adjust the volume on the wireless headphones, use the volume control. Notice: Do not store the headphones in heat or direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones and repairs will not be covered by your warranty. Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
