CD Compatibility: This unit will play standard audio (16-bit, 44kHz, PCM) CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs, and it will play CD-ROMs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs that contain MP3 audio files.

MP3 File Playback: This unit can play MP3 files that have been recorded in an ISO 9660 compliant format with fixed bit rate (i.e. 8kbps, 64kbps,  96kbps, 128kbps, etc.) or variable bit rate compression (32 - 320kbps) on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. The CDC-MP3 can read up to 5 sessions on a multi-session disc, and it will play up to 512 tracks per disc. If you want files to play in numerical order, the files should be numbered with a three digit prefix (i.e. 001, 002, 003 etc.) in the order you wish them to be played; if files are not named with a numerical prefix, they will be played in alphabetical order. The maximum allowable depth of nested folders is 8, including the root directory (folder). To display up to 30 characters for a track name or an artist's name, ID3TAG version 1.x is required. The following functions are available during MP3 playback:

• Album (Folder) Skip (forward and backward)
• Track (File) Skip (forward and backward)
• Track (File) Repeat
• Track Search: you may fast forward and fast reverse through a track
• Random Play: files within an album (folder) are played in random order
• Intro Scan: the first 10 seconds of each track (file) in a album (folder) are played, then the unit advances to the tracks in the next album, and so on until you select a track for playback
• Name Display: the folder/file name will scroll across the display, so the complete name can be seen
• Display Modes: you may cycle through the following display modes:
  • Elapsed playing time
  • Track number and file name
  • Track name
  • Artist's name
  • Album name

Front Panel Auxiliary Input: A front panel stereo mini-jack is provided to allow the connection of a portable audio source.  Just connect your portable cassette, MD or MP3 player to this unit, and you can listen to the audio from the portable player through the speakers in your mobile audio system.

Source Level Adjuster: The relative level of each source (FM/AM/CD/AUX) may be adjusted, from -4 to +4, and the setting will be retained in memory.  The level of each source can be set so there won't be drastic leaps in volume when changing from one source to another.

DSSA (Drivers Sound Stage Adjustment): This feature adjusts the sound stage and tone balance to sound best from one of the front seat positions.  You may set the DSSA feature for the front left seat or the front right seat, or the DSSA feature may be turned off.  When the DSSA feature is on, the balance, fader, bass and treble settings cannot be adjusted.

H-Bass (High Bass): Instead of a loudness control, this unit is equipped with an H-Bass function.  You may choose from 3 H-Bass settings to obtain powerful bass, or the H-Bass feature may be turned off for normal playback.

Selectable Tuning Spacing: You may select standard spacing (100kHz for FM, 10kHz for AM) or European tuning spacing (50kHz for FM, 9kHz for AM). The spacing is set using a switch recessed into the bottom of the unit; when the switched is used to change the spacing, the reset button should be pressed to activate the new spacing.

My Information Switch (timer feature): This feature allows you to timer-activate the radio for up to two daily radio programs.  You may set a start time, a stop time and a radio frequency into memory for up to two timer-activated radio playback events.  To prevent battery wear, the timer will only turn the unit on when power is supplied to both power leads; when the unit is installed correctly, both power wires receive power only when the ignition key is in the "on" or "accessory" position.
