MP3 modeYou can also use this car sound sys-tem to play CD-Rs and CD-RWs thatcontain MP3 music files.

MP3 is a process developed by theFraunhofer Institute for compressing CDaudio data. Compression allows data tobe reduced to around 10% of their orig-inal size without a noticeable loss inquality (at a bit rate of 128 kbit/s). If alower 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.

Preparing an MP3-CDThe various combinations of CD burn-ers, CD burning software and CD blanksmay lead to problems arising with thedevice’s ability to play certain CDs. Ifproblems occur with your own burnedCDs, you should try another brand ofCD blank or choose another colour ofCD blank. To avoid problems when play-ing CDs, you should not burn CDs atspeeds greater than 16-speed.

The format of the CD must be ISO 9660Level 1 / Level 2 or Joliet. Other formatscannot 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 directorieson the CD, the device can handle up to65,535 MP3 files on a single CD - evenif they are all stored in one directory.

This device supports as many subdirec-tories as your burner software can cre-ate despite the fact that the maximumdirectory depth defined by the ISO 9660standard is only 8.

Directories

Tracks¥Files

You can name each directory using aPC. The device is capable of displayingthe directory name. Name the directo-ries and tracks/files using your CD burn-er software. The software’s instructionmanual will provide details on how todo this.

MP3 MODE

68

Note: When naming directories and

tracks/files you should avoid usingaccents and special characters.You can use a maximum of 32characters (including the “.MP3” fileextension) for track names and di-rectory names.

If you like your files to be in the correctorder, you should use burner softwarethat places files in alphanumerical or-der. If your software does not providethis feature you also have the option ofsorting the files manually. To do so, youshould place a number (e.g. “001”,“002”, etc.) at the beginning of each filename - you must include the leadingzeros.

MP3 tracks can contain additional in-formation such as the artist, album andtrack names (ID3 tags). This device candisplay ID3 tags (version 1). When cre-ating (encoding) MP3 files from audiofiles, you should use bit rates up to amaximum of 256 kbits/sec.

This device can only play MP3 files thathave the “.MP3” file extension.

Notes:To ensure uninterrupted playback,

do not try changing the file exten-sion to “.MP3” of any files otherthan MP3 files and then attempt toplay them! The device will ignorethese invalid files during playback.

Do not use “mixed” CDs containingboth non-MP3 data and MP3tracks (the device only reads MP3files during MP3 playback).

Do not use mix-mode CDs contain-ing both CD-audio tracks and MP3tracks. If you try playing a mix-mode CD, the device will only playthe CD-audio tracks.

Switching to MP3 modeMP3 mode is activated in the same wayas normal CD mode. For further infor-mation, please read the section entitled“Switching to CD mode” in the “CDmode” chapter.

Configuring the display

Configuring the default displayYou can display various types of infor-mation on the current track:

The position of the calibration micro-phone for Situation 1 (e.g. for the driveralone) is at the height of the driver’shead, approx. 10 cm next to the rightear.

For Situation 2, the calibration micro-phone should be positioned at headheight between the driver and the frontpassenger.

For Situation 3, you should position thecalibration microphone at head heightin the centre of the vehicle interior (left/right, front/rear).

Really quiet surroundings are requiredfor the calibration. Any extraneous noisewill distort the measured values.

The windows, doors and sunroof mustremain closed during the calibrationprocess. You should be seated in thedriving seat throughout this procedure.

Note:You can obtain the calibration micro-phone necessary for this from acces-sory retailers.

During calibration, the temperature in-side the vehicle must not exceed 55 °Csince this could lead to falsified meas-urements.

The sound radiating from the loud-speakers must not be obstructed by anyobjects. All the loudspeakers must beconnected. The microphone must beconnected to the device.
