Playing a Disc (Models with navigation system)

Playing an MP3/WMA/AAC Disc The CD player can play CD-Rs and CD-RWs compressed in MP3, WMA or AAC formats. When playing a disc in MP3, WMA or AAC, you will see ‘‘MP3,’’ ‘‘WMA’’ or ‘‘AAC’’ on the center display and screen (if selected). A disc can support more than 99 folders, and each folder can hold up to 255 playable files.

NOTE: Combining a low sampling frequency with a low bitrate may result in extremely degraded sound quality.

To play an MP3/WMA/AAC disc, use the disc controls previously described, along with the following information.

Depending on the software the files were made with, it may not be possible to play some files, or display some text data.

Changing the Folders Each time you press either side of the bar, the folder title and its first file’s information appear on the center display. On the navigation display, each time you press either side of the bar, the system skips to the previous or next folder on the disc and displays a list of the selected folder’s contents.

Protecting Your Discs

General Information

When using CD-R discs, use only high quality discs labeled for audio use.

When recording a CD-R, the recording must be closed for it to be used.

CD-RW discs will not work in this unit.

Play only standard round discs. Odd-shaped CDs may jam in the drive or cause other problems.

Handle your discs properly to prevent damage and skipping.

332

Protecting Discs When a disc is not being played, store it in its case to protect it from dust and other contamination. To prevent warpage, keep discs out of direct sunlight and extreme heat.

To clean a disc, use a clean soft cloth. Wipe across the disc from the center to the outside edge.

A new disc may be rough on the inner and outer edges. The small plastic pieces causing this roughness can flake off and fall on the recording surface of the disc, causing skipping or other problems. Remove these pieces by rubbing the inner and outer edges with the side of a pencil or pen.

Never try to insert foreign objects in the disc player.

Handle a disc by its edges; never touch either surface. Do not place stabilizer rings or labels on the disc. These, along with contamination from fingerprints, liquids, and felt-tip pens, can cause the disc to not play properly, or possibly jam in the drive.

11/08/01 09:13:18 31SZA630_340

Additional Information on Recommended Discs The in-dash disc player has a sophisticated and delicate mechanism. If you insert a damaged disc as indicated in this section, it may become stuck inside and damage the audio unit.

Examples of these discs are shown to the right:
