the player completely.
. The player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
. The CD player sometimes cannot
function when the passenger com-
partment temperature is extremely
high. Decrease the temperature be-
fore use.
. Only use high quality 4.7 in (12 cm)
round discs that have the “COMPACT
disc DIGITAL AUDIO” logo on the disc
or packaging.
. Do not expose the CD to direct sun-
light.

USB (Universal Serial Bus) Connec-
tion Port
WARNING
Do not connect, disconnect or oper-
ate the USB device while driving.
Doing so can be a distraction. If
distracted you could lose control of
your vehicle and cause an accident
or serious injury.
CAUTION
.Do not force the USB device into
the USB connection port. Insert-
ing the USB device tilted or up-
side-down into the port may da-
mage the port. Make sure that
the USB device is connected cor-
rectly into the USB connection
port.
. Do not grab the USB connection
port cover (if so equipped) when
pulling the USB device out of the
port. This could damage the port
and the cover.
. Do not leave the USB cable in a
place where it can be pulled unintentionally. Pulling the cable
may damage the port.
The vehicle is not equipped with a USB
device. USB devices should be purchased
separately as necessary.
This system cannot be used to format
USB devices. To format a USB device, use
a personal computer.
In some states/area, the USB device for
the front seats plays only sound without
images for regulatory reasons, even when
the vehicle is parked.
This system supports various USB mem-
ory devices, USB hard drives and iPod®
players. Some USB devices may not be
supported by this system.
. Partitioned USB devices may not be
played correctly.

Compressed Audio Files (MP3/
WMA)
Explanation of terms:
.MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pic-
tures Experts Group Audio Layer 3.
MP3 is the most well known com-
pressed digital audio file format. This
format allows for near “CD quality”
sound, but at a fraction of the size of
normal audio files. MP3 conversion of
an audio track can reduce the file size
by approximately a 10:1 ratio (Sam-
pling: 44.1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with
virtually no perceptible loss in quality.
The compression reduces certain
parts of sound that seem inaudible
to most people. .
WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created
by Microsoft as an alternative to MP3.
The WMA codec offers greater file
compression than the MP3 codec,
enabling storage of more digital audio
tracks in the same amount of space
when compared to MP3s at the same
level of quality.
This product is protected by certain
intellectual property rights of Micro-
soft Corporation and third parties. Use
or distribution of such technology
outside of this product is prohibited
without a license from Microsoft or an
authorized Microsoft subsidiary and
third parties.
. Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number
of bits per second used by a digital
music file. The size and quality of a
compressed digital audio file is deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency — Sampling fre-
quency is the rate at which the
samples of a signal are converted
from analog to digital (A/D conver-
sion) per second.
. Multisession — Multisession is one of
the methods for writing data to med-
ia. Writing data once to the media is
called a single session, and writing more than once is called a multises-
sion.
. ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is
the part of the encoded MP3 or WMA
file that contains information about
the digital music file such as song title,
artist, album title, encoding bit rate,
track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-
formation is displayed on the Album/
Artist/Track title line on the display.

Troubleshooting guide:
SymptomCause and Countermeasure
Cannot play Check if the disc or USB device was inserted correctly.
Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Check if there is condensation inside the player. If there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about one hour)
before using the player.
If there is a temperature increase error, the CD player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.
If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and MP3/WMA files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data)
will be played.
Files with extensions other than “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma” cannot be played. In addition, the character codes
and number of characters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the specifications.
Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.
Check if the disc or USB device is protected by copyright.
Poor sound quality Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Bit rate may be too low.
It takes a relatively long time
before the music starts playing. If there are many folders or file levels on the MP3/WMA disc, or if it is a multisession disc, or USB device, some time
may be required before the music starts playing.
Music cuts off or skips The writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing
width, etc., might not match the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.
Skipping with high bit rate files Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.
Move immediately to the next
song when playing When a non-MP3/WMA file has been given an extension of “.MP3”, “.WMA”, .“mp3” or “.wma”, or when play is prohibited
by copyright protection, there will be approximately five seconds of no sound and then the player will skip to the
next song.
Songs do not play back in the
desired order The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software. Therefore, the files might not
play in the desired order.

Bluetooth® Audio player
Bluetooth® is a trademark
owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
and licensed to Robert Bosch
GmbH and Visteon Corpora-
tion.
.Some Bluetooth® audio devices may
not be recognized by the in-vehicle
audio system.
. It is necessary to set up the wireless
connection between a compatible
Bluetooth® audio device and the in-
vehicle Bluetooth® module before
using the Bluetooth® audio player.
. Operating procedure of the Blue-
tooth® audio player will vary depend-
ing on the device. Make sure it is
understood how to operate an audio
device before using it with this system.
. The Bluetooth® audio player may be
stopped under the following condi-
tions:
— Receiving a hands-free call.
— Checking the connection to the
hands-free phone.
. Do not place a Bluetooth® audio
device in an area surrounded by metal
or far away from the in-vehicle Blue-
tooth® module to prevent tone quality
degradation and wireless connection
disruption. .
While an audio device is connected
through a Bluetooth® wireless con-
nection, the battery power of the
device may discharge quicker than
usual.
. This system supports the Bluetooth®
Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP,
AVRCP).
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Blue-
tooth® functions share the same fre-
quency band (2.4 GHz). Using the
Bluetooth® and the wireless LAN func-
tions at the same time may slow down
or disconnect the communication and
cause undesired noise. It is recom-
mended that you turn off the wireless
LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth®
functions.
