Using an MP3
MP3 Format

of guidelines. If the customer does not follow
these guidelines when recording a CD-R(W), the
CD may not play.

192 files on a disc.

The files can be recorded on a CD-R or
CD-RW with a maximum capacity of 700MB.

system.

The radio will play a mixed mode CD-R/RW, a

Playing an MP3
If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be
reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of
recording, the quality of the music that has been
recorded, and the way the CD-R has been
handled. There may be an increase in skipping,
difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading
and ejecting. If these problems occur, check the
bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD
is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or
scratched, the CD will not play properly. If the
surface of the CD is soiled, see "Care of
Your CDs" in the Index of your vehicle's owner
manual.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.
