To use a portable audio player, connect a
3.5 mm (1/8 inch) cable to the radio's front
auxiliary input jack. When a device is con-
nected, press the radio CD/AUX button to
begin playing audio from the device over
the vehicle speakers.
(Power/Volume):
Turn the (volume) knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease
the volume of the portable player. Addi-
tional volume adjustments might need to
be made from the portable device if the
volume does not go loud or soft enough.
BAND:
Press this button to listen to the radio when
a portable audio device is playing. The
portable audio device continues playing,
so you might want to stop it or power it off.
CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary):
Press this button to play a CD when a por-
table audio device is playing.
Press this button again and the system
begins playing audio from the connected
portable audio player. If a portable audio
player is not connected, "No Input Device
Found or No Aux" may display.
DVD/CD AUX (CD/Auxiliary)
(Radio with CD and DVD):
Press this button to cycle through DVD,
CD, or Auxiliary while listening to the radio.
The DVD/CD text label and a message
showing track or chapter number displays
when a disc is in either slot. Press this but-
ton again and the system automatically
searches for an auxiliary input device,
such as a portable audio player. If a porta-
ble audio player is not connected, "No Aux
Input Device" displays. If a disc is in both
the DVD slot and the CD slot the DVD/CD
AUX button cycles between the two
sources and does not indicate "No Aux
Input Device". If a front auxiliary device is
connected, the DVD/CD AUX button cycles
through all available options, such as: DVD
slot, CD slot, Front AUX, and Rear AUX (if
available). Refer to "Using the Auxiliary
Input Jack(s)" later in this section, or
"Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks" under, "Rear
Seat Entertainment System" in this section
for more information.

Using an MP3 (Radio with CD or

MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3 and WMA files that
were recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
The files can be recorded with the follow-
ing fixed bit rates: 32 kbps, 40 kbps, 56
kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps, 96 kbps, 112 kbps,
128 kbps, 160 kbps, 192 kbps, 224 kbps,
256 kbps, and 320 kbps or a variable bit

displayed by the radio when recorded
using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio also plays discs that contain
both uncompressed CD audio (.CDA files)
and MP3/WMA files. By default the radio
reads only the uncompressed audio and
ignores the MP3/WMA files. Pressing the
CAT (category) button toggles between
compressed and uncompressed audio for-
mat.
MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
• Make sure the MP3/WMA files are
recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
• Do not mix standard audio and MP3/
WMA files on one disc.
• The CD player is able to read and play a
maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and
255 files.
