Ford EVEREST 2015 Owner's Manual page 285

You can play MP3 files recorded on
CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW formats. The
disc must be in the ISO 9660 level 1 or level
2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the
expansion format. You can also use a disc
recorded in multi session.
ISO 9660 Format
This is the most common international
standard for the logical format of files and
folders on a CD-ROM.
There are several specification levels. In
Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3
format (no more than eight characters in
the name, no more than three characters
in the extension MP3 and WMA) and in
capital letters.
Folder names can be no longer than eight
characters. There can be no more than
eight folder levels (trees). Level 2
specifications allow file names up to 31
characters long.
Each folder can have up to eight trees.
For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion
format, consider these restrictions when
configuring your CD writing software.
Multi Session
This recording method enables adding of
data using the track-at-once method.
Conventional CDs begin at a CD control
area called the lead-in and end at an area
called lead-out. A multi session CD is a CD
having multiple sessions, with each
segment from lead-in to lead-out regarded
as a single session.
CD-Extra: The format that records audio
(audio CD data) as tracks on session 1, and
records data as tracks on session 2.
Mixed CD: In this format, data records as
track 1 and audio (audio CD data) records
as track 2.

File Formats
With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1
and level 2, folder names or file names may
not display correctly.
When naming, be sure to add the file
extension MP3 to the file name.
If you put the extension MP3 to a file other
than MP3, the unit cannot recognize the
file correctly and generates random noise
that could damage your speakers.
The following discs take a longer time to
start playback.
• A disc recorded with complicated tree
structure.
• A disc recorded in multi session.
• A non-finalized disc, where you can add
more data.
Playing a Multi Session Disc
When the first track of the first session is
audio CD data only, the audio CD data of
the first session plays. Non-audio CD data,
MP3 file information (such as track number
and time) displays with no sound.
When the first track of the first session is
not audio CD data:
• If an MP3 file is on the disc, the system
skips these file and other data. Audio
CD data is not recognized.
• If no MP3 file is in the disc, nothing
plays. Audio CD data is not recognized.
MP3 Files Playback Order
The playback order of the folders and files
are as shown.
Note: The system skips any folder that does
not include an MP3 file.
To specify a desired playback order before
the folder or file name, input the order by
number (for example, 01 or 02) then record
the contents onto a disc. The order differs
depending on the writing software.
