You can also use this car sound system to
play CD-Rs and CD-RWs as well as USB
data carriers that contain MP3 music fi les.
You can also play WMA fi les. This chapter
deals only with operating MP3 fi les since
the operation for playing back MP3 and
WMA fi les is identical.
Notes:
•
WMA fi les with Digital Rights
Management (DRM) from online mu-
sic shops cannot be played with this
device.
•
WMA fi les can only be played back
safely if they were created with
Windows Media Player version 8 or
later.

The various combinations of CD burners,
CD burning software and CD blanks may
lead to problems arising with the device's
ability to play certain CDs. If problems oc-
cur with your own burned CDs, you should
try another brand of CD blank or choose an-
other colour of CD blank.
The format of the CD must be ISO 9660
Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet. Other formats can-
not be played reliably.
When creating (coding) MP3/WMA fi les
from audio fi les, you should use bit rates
from 32 to 320 kbit/s for MP3 fi les or 32 to
192 kbps for WMA fi les.
