player's settings of DVD being watched in the
remote player.
Listening To Audio With The Screen Closed
To listen to only the audio portion of the channel
with the screen closed:
Set the audio to the desired source and
channel.
Close the video screen.
To change the current audio mode, push the
remote control’s SOURCE button. This will auto -
matically select the next available audio mode
without using the Mode/Source Select menu.
When the screen is reopened, the video screen
will automatically turn back on and show the
appropriate display menu or media.
If the screen is closed and there is no audio heard,
verify that the headphones are turned on (the ON
indicator is illuminated) and the headphone
selector switch is on the desired channel. If the
headphones are turned on, push the remote
control’s power button to turn audio on. If audio is
still not heard, check that fully charged batteries
are installed in the headphones.
Disc Formats
The Blu-ray™ Disc player is capable of playing the
following types of 4.7-inch (12 centimeter)
diameter discs:
BD: BDMV (Profile 1.1), BDAV (Profile 1.1)
DVD: DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, AVCREC, AVCHD,
DVD-VR
CD: CD-DA, VCD, CD-TEXT
DVD/CD: MP3, WMA, AAC, DivX (versions 3 – 6)
profile 3.0
DVD Region Codes
The Blu-ray™ Disc player and many DVD discs are
coded by geographic region. These region codes
must match in order for the disc to play. If the
region code for the DVD disc does not match the
region code for the player, the disc will not play.
DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the Blu-ray™
Disc player, the DVD-Audio title on the disc is
played by default (most DVD-Audio discs also have
a Video title, but the Video title is ignored). All
multichannel program material is automatically
mixed down to two channels, which may result in a
lowered apparent volume level. If you increase the
volume level to account for this change in level,
remember to lower the volume before changing
the disc or to another mode. Recorded Discs
The Blu-ray™ Disc player will play CD-R and CD-RW
discs recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or
as a CD-ROM containing MP3 or WMA files. The
player will also play DVD-Video content recorded to
a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc. DVD-ROM discs (either
pressed or recorded) are not supported.
If you record a disc using a personal computer,
there may be cases where the Blu-ray™ Disc player
may not be able to play some or the entire disc,
even if it is recorded in a compatible format and is
playable on other players. To help avoid playback
problems, use the following guidelines when
recording discs:
Open sessions are ignored. Only sessions that
are closed are playable.
For multi-session CDs that contain only multiple
CD-Audio sessions, the player will renumber the
tracks so each track number is unique.
For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use the
ISO-9660 (Level 1 or Level 2), Joliet, or Romeo
format. Other formats (such as UDF, HFS, or
others) are not supported.
The player recognizes a maximum of 512 files
and 99 folders per CD-R and CD-RW disc.
Mixed media recordable DVD formats will only
play the Video_TS portion of the disc.

21_WD_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 186

MULTIMEDIA187
If you are still having trouble writing a disc that is
playable in the Blu-ray™ Disc player, check with the
disc recording software publisher for more
information about burning playable discs.
The recommended method for labeling recordable
discs (CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-R) is with a
permanent marker. Do not use adhesive labels as
they may separate from the disc, become stuck,
and cause permanent damage to the DVD player.
Compressed Audio Files (MP3 and WMA)
The Blu-ray™ Disc player is capable of playing MP3
(MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows Media
Audio) files from a CD Data disc (usually a CD-R or
CD-RW).
The Blu-ray™ Disc player always uses the file
extension to determine the audio format, so
MP3 files must always end with the extension
“.mp3” or “.MP3” and WMA files must always
end with the extension “.wma” or “.WMA”. To
prevent incorrect playback, do not use these
extensions for any other types of files.
For MP3 files, only version 1 ID3 tag data (such
as artist name, track title, album, etc.) are
supported.
Any file that is copy protected (such as those
downloaded from many online music stores) will
not play. The Blu-ray™ player will automatically
skip the file and begin playing the next available
file.
Other compression formats such as AAC, MP3
Pro, Ogg Vorbis, and ATRAC3 will not play. The
Blu-ray™ player will automatically skip the file
and begin playing the next available file.
If you are creating your own files, the recom -
mended fixed bit rate for MP3 files is between
96 and 192 Kbps and the recommended fixed
bit rate for WMA files is between 64 and
192Kbps. Variable bit rates are also supported.
For both formats, the recommended sample
rate is either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
To change the current file, use the remote
control’s or Blu-ray™ Disc player’s ? button to
advance to the next file, or the ? button to return
to the start of the current or previous file. Disc Errors
If the Blu-ray™ Disc player is unable to read the
disc, a “Disc Error” message is displayed on the
rear screen and Radio displays. A dirty, damaged,
or incompatible disc format are all potential
causes for a “Disc Error” message.
If a disc has a damaged track which results in
audible or visible errors that persists for two
seconds, the Blu-ray™ Disc player will attempt to
continue playing the disc by skipping forward one
to three seconds at a time. If the end of the disc is
reached, the Blu-ray™ Disc player will return to the
beginning of the disc and attempt to play the start
of the first track.
The Blu-ray™ Disc player may shut down during
extremely hot conditions, such as when the
vehicle’s interior temperature is above 120°F
(48.9°C). When this occurs, the player will display
“High Temp” and will shut off the rear seat displays
until a safe temperature is reached. This shutdown
is necessary to protect the optics of the Blu-ray™
Disc player.
