You can also use this car radio for play-
ing CD-Rs and CD-RWs containing
MP3 music files.

Preparing the MP3-CD

The various combinations of CD burn-
ers, CD burning software and CD blanks
may lead to problems arising with the
ability to play certain CDs. If problems
occur with your own burned CDs, you
should try another brand of CD blank or
choose another blank colour.
The format of the CD must be ISO 9660
Level 1 / Level 2 or Joliet. Other formats
cannot be played reliably.
You can create a maximum of 252 di-
rectories on a CD. Each of these direc-
tories can be accessed using this de-
vice.
Regardless of the number of directories
on a CD, a total of 999 files can be sup-
ported, with up to 255 files in one single
directory.

Each directory can be named using a
PC. The directory name can be dis-
played in the device's display. Name the
directories and files using your CD burn-
er software. The software's operating
instructions will provide details on how
to do this.
Note:
When naming directories and files
you should avoid using special
characters.
If you like your files to be in the correct
order, you should use burner software
that places files in alphanumerical or-
der. If your software does not provide
this feature, you can also sort the files
manually. To do so, you should place a
number (e.g. "001", "002", etc.) in front
of each file name - the leading zeros
must also be included.
MP3 tracks can contain addition infor-
mation such as the artist, song and al-
bum names (ID3 tags). This device can
display ID3 tags if they are version 1.
When creating (encoding) MP3 files
from audio files, you should use bit rates
up to a maximum of 256 kbit/sec.
Only MP3 files with the ".MP3" file ex-
tension can be played on this device.
Note:
To ensure uninterrupted playback,
Do not attempt to change the file
extension to ".MP3" of any files oth-
er than MP3 files and then attempt
to play them! These invalid MP3
files will not be selected during
MP3 playback.
