BAND: Press this button to listen to the radio when a
CD is playing. The CD will remain safely inside the radio
for future listening.

when listening to the radio. The CD icon and a
message showing disc and/or track number will appear
on the display when a CD is in the player. Press this
button again and the system will automatically search for
an auxiliary input device, such as a portable audio
player. If a portable audio player is not connected, No
Aux Input Device Found will be displayed.

Using an MP3/WMA CD-R or CR-W Disc

The radio will play MP3 and WMA files that were
recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc. The files can be
recorded with the following fixed bit rates: 32 kbps,
40 kbps, 56 kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps, 96 kbps, 112 kbps,
128 kbps, 160 kbps, 192 kbps, 224 kbps, 256 kbps,
and 320 kbps or a variable bit rate. Song title, artist
name, and album will be available for display by
the radio when recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.

Compressed Audio

The radio will also play discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA files) and MP3/WMA
files. By default the radio will read only the
uncompressed audio and ignore the MP3/WMA files.
Pressing the CAT button will toggle between
compressed and uncompressed audio format.

MP3/WMA Format

If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a personal
computer:

Make sure the MP3 files are recorded on a CD-R or
CD-RW disc.

Make sure to finalize the disc when burning an MP3
disc, using multiple sessions. It is usually better to
burn the disc all at once.

Files can be recorded with a variety of fixed or
variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and album
will be available for display by the radio when
recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.

Make sure playlists have a.m3u or.wpl extension,
other file extensions may not work.
