Using an MP3
Format
Radios that have the capability of playing MP3's can
play .mp3 files that were recorded onto a CD-R or
CD-RW disc. Radios that have a USB port can
play .mp3 and .wma files that are stored on a USB
storage device as well as AAC files that are stored
®
on an iPod
.
Compressed Audio
The radio can play discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio and MP3 files.
Radios with a single CD player read all MP3 files first,
then the uncompressed CD audio files.
Radios with a six-CD player only read MP3 files unless
the CAT button is pressed to toggle to uncompressed
audio files.
