USB (Universal Serial Bus)
This system supports various USB memory
sticks, USB hard drives and iPod players.
There are some USB devices which may not be
supported with this system.
● Make sure that the USB device is connected
correctly into the USB connector.
● Do not force the memory stick or USB cable
into the USB connector. This could damage
the connector.
● 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 com-
pletely. ●
The USB player sometimes cannot function
when the passenger compartment tempera-
ture is extremely high. Decrease the tem-
perature before use.
● Do not leave USB memory in a place prone to
static electricity or where the air conditioner
blows directly. The data in the USB memory
may be damaged.
● The vehicle is not equipped with a USB
memory stick.
● A USB device cannot be formatted with this
system. To format a USB device, use a
personal computer.
● Partitioned USB devices may not be played
correctly.
● Some characters used in other languages
(Chinese, Japanese, etc.) are not displayed
properly on the vehicle center screen. Using
English language characters with a USB de-
vice is recommended.
● Do not connect a USB device if a connector
or cable is wet. Allow the cable and/or
connectors to dry completely before con-
necting the USB device. If the connector is
exposed to fluids other than water, evapora-
tive residue may cause a short between the
connector pins. ●
Large video podcast files cause slow re-
sponses in an iPod. The vehicle center
display may momentarily black out, but it
will soon recover.
● If an iPod automatically selects large video
podcast files while in the shuffle mode, the
vehicle center display may momentarily
black out, but it will soon recover.
● Audiobooks may not play in the same order
as they appear on an iPod.
● An iPod nano (1st Generation) may remain
in fast forward or rewind mode if it is
connected during a seek operation. In this
case, please manually reset the iPod.
● An iPod nano (2nd Generation) will con-
tinue to fast forward or rewind if it is discon-
nected during a seek operation.
● An incorrect song title may appear when the
Play Mode is changed while using the iPod
nano (2nd Generation)

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.

Compressed Video Files
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 Micro-
soft Corporation. A “.divx” encoded file can
be saved into the “.avi” file format for play-
back on this system if it meets the require-
ments stated in the table in this section.
However, not all the “.avi” files are playable
on this system since different encodings 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:Media CD, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, DVD±RW DL, USB 2.0 Memory

If your vehicle is equipped with the Dual Head
Restraint DVD System, you can enjoy playing
video files via a DVD, CD or USB memory that
provides images and sound both from the front
and rear display screens.
You can also enjoy compatible auxiliary devices
such as video games, camcorders or portable
video players through the auxiliary jacks.
The front and right/left rear displays can show
different sources individually. The maximum of
3 audio sources, such as an iPod, DVD and
auxiliary device, can be enjoyed at the same
time.
WARNING
The driver must not attempt to operate the Dual
Head Restraint DVD System while driving so
full attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
Park the vehicle in a safe location and apply the
parking brake to view the images on the front
center display screen using the DVD player.
CAUTION
●Do not attempt to use the system in ex-
tremely high or low temperature condition
[below 4°F (20°C) or above 158°F (70°C)].
● To avoid draining the vehicle battery, do not
operate the system for more than 15 minutes
without starting the engine.
The front display is designed not to show the
images while driving, as the driver’s attention
must be given to vehicle operation for safety.
Sounds are available. To show the images in the
front display, stop the vehicle in a safe location,
move the selector lever to the P (Park) position
and apply the parking brake.
