CAUTION
.Do not force the USB device into the
USB port. Inserting the USB device
tilted or up-side-down into the port
may damage the USB device and
the port. Make sure that the USB
device is connected correctly into
the USB port.
. Do not grab the USB 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 unin-
tentionally. Pulling the cable may
break the wire, USB device or the
port.
. To avoid damage and loss of func-
tion when using a USB device, note
the following precautions.
— Do not bend the cable exces-
sively 1.6 in (40 mm) radius
minimum.
— Do not twist the cable exces- sively (more than 180 degrees) . — Do not pull or drop the cable.
— Do not hit or press the USB port
or USB device with hands, feet,
or objects.
— Do not store objects with sharp edges in the storage area where
the cable is stored.
— Do not leave the USB device and attached devices in the vehicle
compartment. When not in use
for extended periods of time,
store the cable and USB device
in a clean, dust free environment
at room temperature and with-
out direct sun exposure.
— Do not use the cable for any other purposes than its intended
use in the vehicle.
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 memory
devices, USB hard drives and iPod players.
Some USB devices may not be supported by
this system.
.
Partitioned USB devices may not play
correctly.
. Some characters used in other languages
(Chinese, Japanese, etc.) may not appear
properly in the display. Using English lan-
guage characters with a USB device is
recommended.
General notes for USB use:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407. The USB device may not function when the
passenger compartment temperature is ex-
tremely high. Lower the temperature before
use.
. During cold weather or rainy days, the player
may malfunction due to humidity. If this
occurs, remove the USB device and dehu-
midify or ventilate the USB player comple-
tely.
. Do not connect a USB device if a connector,
cable or USB port is wet. Allow the
connector, cable, and USB port to dry
completely before connecting the USB
device. (Wait for 24 hours or more until it
is dry.) If the connector and USB port are

exposed to fluids other than water, evapora-
tive residue may cause a short circuit
between the connector pins and USB port.
In this case, replace the cable and USB port.
Otherwise damage to the USB device and a
loss of function may occur.
. If the cable is damaged (insulation cut,
connectors cracked, contamination such as
liquids, dust, dirt, etc. in the connectors) , do
not use the cable. Replace the cable with a
new one.
. Do not put a USB device in a location where
static electricity occurs, electrical noise is
generated or hot air from the air conditioner
blows directly on it. Doing so may cause the
data stored on the USB device to be
corrupted.

Compressed Audio Files (MP3/WMA/
AAC)
GUID-D201CB62-3BAC-46DD-9212-C50E80F9D6C7
Explanation of terms:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407. MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well known compressed 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 (Sampling: 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 Micro-
soft 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.
. AAC/M4A (if so equipped) — Advanced
Audio Coding (AAC) is a lossy audio
compression format. Audio files that have
been encoded with AAC are generally
smaller in size and deliver a higher quality
of sound than MP3.
. 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 determined by the bit rate used
when encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency
is the rate at which the samples of a signal
are converted from analog to digital (A/D
conversion) per second.
. Multisession — Multisession is one of the
methods for writing data to media. Writing
data once to the media is called a single
session, and writing more than once is

Troubleshooting guide:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407
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, and if there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the
player.
If there is a temperature increase error, the player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.
If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and compressed audio files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will
be played.
Files with extensions other than “.MP3 (.mp3)”, “.WMA (.wma)”, “.AAC (.aac)”, “.M4A (.m4a)”, or “.AA3 (.aa3)” 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 disc or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may occur depending on the variation or the setting of
compressed audio writing applications or other text editing applications.
Check if the finalization processes, such as session close and disc close, has been performed for the disc.
Check if the disc or USB device is copyright protected.
Poor sound quality Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
It takes a relatively long time before
the music starts playing. If there are many folder or file levels on the 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. If an unsupported compressed audio file has been given a supported extension like .MP3, or when play is prohibited by copyright
protection, the player will skip to the next song.
The 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, so the files might not play in the desired order.
Random/Shuffle may be active on the audio system or on a USB device.
