counterclockwise to increase or decrease the volume of
the portable player. You might need to do additional
volume adjustments from the portable device if the
volume is not loud or soft enough.

audio device is playing. The portable audio device
continues playing, so you might want to stop it or
turn it off.

portable audio device is playing. Press again and
the system begins playing audio from the connected
portable audio player. If a portable audio player is

Using an MP3
MP3 CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio plays MP3 files that were recorded on a CD-R
or CD-RW disc. The files can be recorded with the
following 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 rate. Song title, artist name, and album are
available for display 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 files. By
default the radio shows the MP3 label on the left side of
the screen but plays both file formats in the order in which
they were recorded to the disc.
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal computer:
• Make sure the MP3 files are recorded on a CD-R
or CD-RW disc.
• Do not mix standard audio and MP3 files on
one disc.
• The CD player is able to read and play a maximum
of 50 folders, 15 playlists, and 512 folders and files.
• Create a folder structure that makes it easy to find
songs while driving. Organize songs by albums
using one folder for each album. Each folder
or album should contain 18 songs or less.
• Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to
eight subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to reduce
the complexity and confusion in trying to locate
a particular folder during playback.
