Playing an MP3 CD-R Disc
Radios with the MP3 feature are capable of playing an
MP3 CD-R disc. For more information on how to play an
MP3 CD-R disc, see Using an MP3
on page 4‑108

in this section.
Care of CDs
The sound quality of the CD player can be reduced
because of:
.
The CD‐R quality.
.
The method of recording the CD‐R.
.
The quality of the music that has been recorded on
the CD‐R.
.
The way the CD‐R has been handled.
Store CDs in their original cases or other protective
cases and away from dust and direct sunlight. The CD
player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the
surface of a CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD may not play properly or at all. Do
not touch the bottom side of a CD while handling it; this
could damage the surface. Pick up CDs by grasping the
outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
To clean a CD, use a soft lint free cloth, or dampen a
clean soft cloth in a mild neutral detergent solution
mixed with water. Wipe the CD from the center to
the edge.
Care of the CD Player
Use a marking pen to identify CDs, do not add labels.
Do not use CD lens cleaners, they could damage the
CD player.
Notice: If a label is added to a CD, or more than one
CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt
is made to play scratched or damaged CDs, the CD
player could be damaged. While using the CD
player, use only CDs in good condition without any
label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player
and the loading slot free of foreign materials,
liquids, and debris.
If an error displays, see “CD Messages” later in this
section.

If the CD ejects, it could be for one of the following
reasons:

The CD player is very hot. When the temperature
returns to normal, the CD should play.

The road is very rough. When the road becomes
smoother, the CD should play.
.
