Audio files

In addition to playing normal music CDs, the CD player/changer can also play discs containing files in mp3 or wma format.

NOTE
Certain discs that are copy protected cannot be read by the player.

When a disc with audio files is inserted in the player, the player scans the disc's folders before it begins playing the files. The length of time that this takes depends on the quality of the disc.

Navigating the disc and playing tracks

If a disc with audio files is in the CD player, press ENTER to display a list of folders on the disc.

Use the up and down arrows to move among the folders on the disc. Audio files have the symbol and folders containing these files have the symbol.

Press ENTER to play a selected folder or a file.

When the music file has been played, the player will continue to play the rest of the files in the current folder. When all of the files in the folder have been played, the player will automatically go to the next folder and play the files in it.

NOTE
Press if the entire name of the current track does not fit in the display.

Compact disc care

• Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself.

They could become stuck in the player.
• Use CD standard EN 60908 discs only.

Discs not meeting this standard may cause problems with system (poor sound). CDR discs can cause listening problems due to the quality of the disc or recording equipment used.
• DualDisc: The audio side of a DualDisc (combined CD/DVD) does not meet CD specifications and may not play in your audio system.
• Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outwards. If necessary, dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.
• Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liquid.

Use only cleaners specifically made for CD's.
• Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used).
• Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc.
• Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up to one hour to dry off.
• Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way.
• When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or dusty locations.
