Playing MP3 discs
To play an MP3 disc on your DVD system:
1. Ensure that the vehicle ignition is in the RUN or ACCESSORY
position.
2. Ensure that the DVD system is ON.
3. Insert the MP3 disc into the DVD system, label side up.

The screen will list the Artist, Title,
Album and File Name.

CD/MP3 passages together for a
more consistent listening level when

Press again to stop.
FOLDER LIST: Press access folder mode and to go to the previous/next

MP3 disc quality factors
Several factors can effect disc playback quality:
• Disc capacity — Each disc contains about 650 MB of storage capacity.
We do not recommend using high capacity discs containing 700MB of
storage.
• Disc type — Some CD-RW discs may operate inconsistently and may
cause an error message to appear. We recommend burning MP3 files
onto CD-R discs.
• Disc finalization — The disc may be left open for the purpose of
adding sessions to it at a later time, but be sure to close each session
or the disc will not play.
• Bit rate — The player supports bit rates from 32–320 kbps, as well as
variable bit rate MP3 files, but lower bit rates will have a noticeable
effect on sound quality and are recommended only for speech or low
fidelity music material. We recommend that you encode MP3 files
using a high quality encoder.
