How to operate the MP3 player
Media capable of playing MP3 includes CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW
discs. Compared to CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs,
CD-R discs are fragile in high temperature/high humidity environments
and one section of the CD-R may become incapable of playback.
Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or cause
skipping during playback. Sections of a CD-R may deteriorate if left
inside a vehicle for long periods of time. It is also recommended that
CD-R discs be kept in a light-blocking case because the discs are
vulnerable to ultra-violet light.
The format of discs to be used must be ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2.
