File System and Naming
The song name that is displayed is
the song name that is contained in
the ID3 tag. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the radio
displays the file name without the
extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than
32 characters or four pages
are shortened. Parts of words
on the last page of text and the
extension of the filename displays.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that
were created using WinAmp™,
MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed, however,
they cannot be edited using the
radio. These playlists are treated
as special folders containing
compressed audio song files.
Playing an MP3/WMA
(In Either the DVD or CD Slot)
Insert a CD-R or CD-RW disc
partway into either the top or bottom
slot, label side up. The player pulls it
in, and the CD-R or CD-RW should
begin playing.
Depending on the format of
the disc, a softkey menu appears
and allows navigation of the disc.
The menu reads left to right as
RDM (Randomize song play order),
a Folder icon with left and right
arrows (to move up or down through
available folders), a PL tag if the disc
has a Playlist available, and a Music
Navigator tag. If a Playlist tag is
shown, toggling this key brings up a
Folder softkey only or the menu as
previously described.
If the ignition or radio is turned off
with a CD-R or CD-RW disc in the
player it stays in the player. When
the ignition or radio is turned back
on, the CD-R or CD-RW starts to
play where it stopped, if it was the
last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play,
the track number and song title
displays.
Z CD (Eject): Press and release
this button to eject the CD-R or
CD-RW that is currently playing
in the bottom slot. A beep sounds
and Ejecting Disc displays. Once
the disc is ejected, Remove Disc
displays. The CD-R or CD-RW disc
can be removed. If the CD-R or
CD-RW disc is not removed, after
several seconds, the CD-R or
CD-RW disc automatically pulls
back into the player.
If loading and reading of a CD cannot
be completed, such as unknown
format, etc., and the disc fails to
eject, press and hold this button for
more than five seconds to force the
disc to eject.
