You can also use this car sound sys-  
tem to play CD-Rs and CD-RWs that  
contain MP3 music files.  
MP3 is a process developed by the  
Fraunhofer Institute for compressing CD  
audio data. Compression allows data to  
be reduced to around 10% of their orig-  
inal size without a noticeable loss in  
quality (at a bit rate of 128 kbit/s). If a  
lower bit rate is used to convert CD au-  
dio data to MP3, you will be able to cre-  
ate smaller files but this will be accom-  
panied by a loss in audio quality.  
Press the eject button A next to  
the CD compartment.  
The CD is ejected.  
Remove the CD and close the con-  
trol panel.  
Note:  
If a CD is ejected, the drive will au-  
tomatically draw it back in again af-  
ter 10 seconds.  
Preparing an MP3-CD  
You can also eject CDs whilst the  
device is switched off or whilst an-  
other audio source is activated.  
The various combinations of CD burn-  
ers, CD burning software and CD blanks  
may lead to problems arising with the  
device’s ability to play certain CDs. If  
problems occur with your own burned  
CDs, you should try another brand of  
CD blank or choose another colour of  
CD blank. To avoid problems when play-  
ing CDs, you should not burn CDs at  
speeds greater than 16-speed.  
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 253 di-  
rectories on a CD. You can use this de-  
vice to access each of these directo-  
ries.  
Regardless of the number of directories  
on the CD, the device can handle up to  
65,535 MP3 files on a single CD - even  
if they are all stored in one directory.

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 also have the option of  
sorting the files manually. To do so, you  
should place a number (e.g. “001”,  
“002”, etc.) at the beginning of each file  
name - you must include the leading  
zeros.

do this.  
Notes:  
To ensure uninterrupted playback,  
do not try changing the file exten-  
sion to “.MP3” of any files other  
than MP3 files and then attempt to
