INTRODUCTION
SELECTING MP3 SESSIONS
WITH HYBRID DISCS
If a hybrid disc is inserted (Mixed Mode,
Enhanced, CD-Extra) also containing MP3
files, the radio automatically starts play-
ing the audio session. It is possible to move
to the MP3 session whilst playing by keep-
ing the button CD pressed for more than
2 seconds.
IMPORTANT When the function is acti-
vated the radio may take a few seconds to
start playing. Whilst checking the disc the
display will show “CD Reading”. If no MP3
files are detected, the radio will resume
playing the audio session from the point
where it was interrupted.
DISPLAY INFORMATION
ID3-TAG information display
In addition to the information relating to
the time elapsed, folder name and file
name, the radio is also capable of display-
ing ID3-TAG information relating to Ti-
tle track, Artist and Author.
The name of the MP3 folder shown on the
display corresponds to the name used to
store the folder on the CD, followed by
an asterisk.
Example of a complete MP3 folder name:
BEST OF *.
When one of the ID3-TAG pieces of in-
formation is chosen to be displayed (Title,
Artist, Album) and this information has
not been recorded for the track played,
the information will be replaced by that
relating to the name of the file.
SELECTION OF NEXT/
PREVIOUS FOLDER
Press the button
▲
to select a next fold-
er or the button
▼
to select the previ-
ous folder. The display will show the num-
ber and the name of the folder (e.g. “DIR
2 XXXXXX”).
XXXXXX: name of the folder (the display
will only show the first 8 characters).
The folders are selected cyclically: the first
folder is selected after the last folder and
vice versa.
If no other folder/track is selected in the
next 2 seconds, the first track on the new
folder will be played.
If the last track in the folder at that mo-
ment selected is played, the next folder
will be played.
STRUCTURE OF THE FOLDERS
The radio with MP3 player:
❒
recognises only the folders that effec-
tively contain MP3 format files;
❒
if the MP3 files on a CD-ROM are
structured in “sub-folders”, their struc-
ture is compressed to a single level
structure, where the “sub-folders” are
taken to the level of the main folders.
