How to tell if you have CD Text or Not:

"You can easily tell the difference when the CD Changer is the selected source as the older BM54's say "CDC x-yy" where x is the CD number and yy is the track, while the newer versions say "TR yy" or "TR zz-yyy" where zz is the folder number if an MP3 CD Changer is connected. On the newer BM54's the CD number is displayed in smaller text."
