CD Player

The audio player of the infotainment system can play audio CDs and MP3/WMA CDs.

Important Information about Audio CDs and MP3/WMA Discs

Never insert DVDs, 8 cm CDs, or shaped CDs into the audio player.

Do not attach labels to CDs. These discs may get stuck in the CD drive or seriously damage it.

Such damage will require costly replacement of the audio unit.

Copy-protected audio CDs that do not conform to the standard audio CD format may play incorrectly or not play at all.

User-recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs are less durable than commercially produced audio CDs when mishandled.

CD-R and CD-RW discs, especially user-recorded ones, must be handled properly; see below.

User-recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs may play incorrectly or not play at all.

On mixed-mode CDs (containing audio tracks and data, such as MP3), only the audio tracks can be detected and played.

Do not leave fingerprints on the discs when replacing them.

Immediately after removing a CD from the audio player, store it in its protective sleeve to prevent damage and contamination.

Dirt and liquid on CDs can contaminate the lens inside the audio player and cause malfunctions.

Protect CDs from high temperatures and direct sunlight.

Maximum folder depth on an MP3/WMA CD:

11 levels.

Maximum number of tracks that can be recorded on an MP3/WMA CD: 1000.

WMA files with Digital Rights Management (DRM) from online music stores cannot be played.

WMA files can be played reliably only if they were created with Windows Media Player version 8 or later.

This section describes only the principles of MP3 file playback, since WMA files are played in the same way. When a CD with WMA files is loaded, the corresponding MP3 menus are displayed.
