To change the settings, push the remote
control’s navigation buttons ( ▴, ▾) to select an
item, then push the remote control’s navigation
buttons ( ▸, ◂) to change the value for the

MULTIMEDIA353
Disc Formats
The DVD player is capable of playing the
following types of discs:
DVD-Video discs (MPEG-2 video compres -
sion) (see notes about DVD Region Codes)
DVD-Audio discs (2 channel audio output
only)
Audio Compact Discs (CDs)
CD Data discs with MP3 and WMA
compressed audio format files
Video CDs (MPEG-1 video compression)
DVD Region Codes
The DVD 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 does not match the region
code for the player, the disc will stop playing
and a warning will be displayed.
DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the DVD
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
multi-channel 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 DVD player will play CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as
a CD-ROM containing MP3, WMA. 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 DVD 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 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.
If you are still having trouble writing a disc that
is playable in the DVD 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.

20_RT_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 353

354MULTIMEDIA
Compressed Audio Files (MP3 / WMA and ACC)
The DVD 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 DVD 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." AAC files
must always end with the extension "aac" or
"AAC." 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 DVD player will automati -
cally 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 DVD 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 recom -
mended fixed bit rate for WMA files is
between 64 and 192 Kbps. 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 DVD
player’s ▴ button to advance to the next file,
or the ▾ button to return to the start of the
current or previous file.
To change the current directory, use the
remote control’s PROG UP and Down buttons
or Rewind/skip back and fast fwd/skip
forward. Disc Errors
If the DVD player is unable to read the disc, a
"Disc Error" message is displayed on the Radio
display and the disc is automatically ejected. 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
2.0 seconds, the DVD player will attempt to
continue playing the disc by skipping forward
1 to 3 seconds at a time. If the end of the disc is
reached, the DVD player will return to the
beginning of the disc and attempt to play the
start of the first track.
The DVD player may shut down during extremely
hot conditions, such as when the vehicle’s
interior temperature is above 120°F (49°C).
When this occurs, the DVD Player will display
"High Temp" and will shut off the display until a
safe temperature is reached. This shutdown is
necessary to protect the optics of the DVD.

FM radio, disk player, USB mass
storage class device, Apple® family of
devices, Bluetooth® Streaming Audio Device,
satellite radio, and a memo recorder.

System as calmly and normally as possible. The
ability of the Voice Interface System to
recognize user voice commands may be
negatively affected by rapid speaking or a
raised voice level. When you push the Voice Recognition
button, you will hear a beep. The beep is your
signal to give a command.

of options.
If you would like to interrupt the system while it
lists options, push the Voice Recognition
button, listen for the beep, and say your
command.
Pushing the Voice Recognition button while

clearly and at a normal speaking volume.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be
used only in safe driving conditions following
all applicable laws. Your attention should be
focused on safely operating the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in a collision
causing serious injury or death.
