■When “ERROR”, “WAIT” or “NO MUSIC” is shown on the display
“ERROR”:
This indicates a trouble either in the CD or inside the player. The CD may be dirty, dam-
aged, or inserted up-side down.
“WAIT”:
This indicates that operation is stopped due to a high temperature inside the player. Wait
for a while and then press the “CD” button. If the CD still cannot be played back, contact
any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
“NO MUSIC”:
This indicates that an MP3/WMA fi le is not included in the CD.
■Discs that can be used
Discs with the marks shown below can be used.
Playback may not be possible depending on recording format or disc features, or due to
scratches, dirt or deterioration.
CDs with copy-protection features may not be used.
■Lens cleaners
Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so may damage the CD player.
■If discs are left inside the CD player or in the ejected position for extended periods of
time
The discs may be damaged and may not play properly.
■MP3 and WMA files
MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER 3) is a standard audio compression format.
Files can be compressed to approximately 1 /10 of their original size by using MP3 com-
pression.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Microsoft audio compression format.
This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3 format.
There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA file st andards that can be used and to the media/
formats on which the files are recorded.

ized. Playback may not be possible or the audio may jump if the disc is scratched or
marked with fingerprints.
●Compatible disc formats
The following disc formats can be used:
• Disc formats: CD-ROM Mode 1 and Mode 2CD-ROM XA Mode 2, Form 1 and Form 2
• File formats: ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2, (Romeo, Joliet) MP3 and WMA files written in any format other than those listed above may not

●File names
The only files that can be recognized as MP3/WMA and played are those with the
extension .mp3 or .wma.
●Discs containing multi-session recordings
As the audio system is compatible with multi- sessions, it is possible to play discs that
contain MP3 and WMA files. However, only the first session can be played.
●ID3 and WMA tags
ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the track title, artist
name, etc.
The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3 ID3 tags. (The number
of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)
WMA tags can be added to WMA files, making it possible to record the track title and
artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags.
●MP3 and WMA playback
When a disc containing MP3 or WMA files is inserted, all files on the disc are first
checked. Once the file check is finished, the first MP3 or WMA file is played. To make
the file check finish more quickly, we re commend you do not write in any files other
than MP3 or WMA files or create any unnecessary folders.
Discs that contain a mixture of music data and MP3 or WMA format data cannot be
played.

●Extensions
If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are used for files other than MP3 and WMA files,
they will be mistakenly recognized and play ed as MP3 and WMA files. This may result
in large amounts of interference and damage to the speakers.
●Playback
• To play MP3 files with steady sound quality, we recommend a fixed bit rate of at least 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
• CD-R or CD-RW playback may not be po ssible in some instances, depending on
the characteristics of the disc.
• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3 and WMA files on the market, and depending on the status of the encoding and the file format,
poor sound quality or noise at the start of playback may result. In some cases, play-
back may not be possible at all.
• When files other than MP3 or WMA files are recorded on a disc, it may take more time to recognize the disc and in some ca ses, playback may not be possible at all.
• Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Media are the registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.A. and other countries.
