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, and if there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) be-
fore 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 set-
ting of compressed audio writing applications or other text editing applications.
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.
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.

Compressed Video Files (models with
navigation system)
Explanation of terms :
●DivX - DivX refers to the DivX codec
owned by DivX, Inc. used for a lossy com-
pression of video based on MPEG-4.
● AVI - AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave. It
is a standard file format originated by Mi-
crosoft Corporation. A “.divx” encoded file
can be saved into the “.avi” file format for
playback on this system if it meets the
requirements stated in the table in this
section. However, not all the “.avi” files are
playable on this system since different en-
codings can be used than the DivX codec.
● ASF - ASF stands for Advanced Systems
Format. It is a file format owned by Microsoft
Corporation. Note: Only “.asf” files that meet
the requirements stated in the table in this
section can be played.
● Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of
bits per second used by a digital video file.
The size and quality of a compressed digital
audio file is determined by the bit rate used
when encoding the file. Requirement for Supporting Video Playback:
