MP3 MODE
MP3 mode
You can also use this car radio for play-
ing CD-Rs and CD-RWs containing
MP3 music files.
Each directory can be named using a
PC. The directory name can be dis-
played in the device’s display. Name the
directories and files using your CD burn-
er software. The software’s operating
instructions will provide details on how
to do this.
Preparing the MP3-CD
The various combinations of CD burn-
ers, CD burning software and CD blanks
may lead to problems arising with the
ability to play certain CDs. If problems
occur with your own burned CDs, you
should try another brand of CD blank or
choose another blank colour.
Note:
● When naming directories and files
you should avoid using special
characters.
If you like your files to be in the correct
order, you should use burner software
that places files in alphanumerical or-
der. If your software does not provide
this feature, you can also sort the files
manually. To do so, you should place a
number (e.g. “001”, “002”, etc.) in front
of each file name - the leading zeros
must also be included.
The format of the CD must be ISO 9660
Level 1 / Level 2 or Joliet. Other formats
cannot be played reliably.
You can create a maximum of 252 di-
rectories on a CD. Each of these direc-
tories can be accessed using this de-
vice.
MP3 tracks can contain addition infor-
mation such as the artist, song and al-
bum names (ID3 tags). This device can
display ID3 tags if they are version 1.
Regardless of the number of directories
on a CD, a total of 999 files can be sup-
ported, with up to 255 files in one single
directory.
When creating (encoding) MP3 files
from audio files, you should use bit rates
up to a maximum of 256 kbit/sec.
